Let’s be very, very clear: Striking shipwrecked survivors is a war crime. Straight up.

We need the Department of Justice to open an investigation. If they don’t, a future Administration will.

They’ve murdered Venezuelan and Colombian nationals for unsubstantiated claims of trafficking but they’re pardoning a convicted drug trafficker whom the US Department of Justice showed is a “violent, multi-ton drug trafficker” who at least twice “helped arrange murders of drug trafficking rivals.”
Former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández was convicted of running a narco state. Now he is on the cusp of freedom, with President Trump promising to end his prison sentence with a pardon.

Kinda crazy that murdering criminal Pete Hagueseth, who admits proudly to his crimes, isn't currently in custody, awaiting trial.

Seems like the sort of thing the Law and Order folks would be all over, but what do I know?

People will die, and are currently dying, because RFK was granted one of the most powerful megaphones in the country. Two people who could have thrown barriers in front of his climb decided not to; there's a sex scandal here but it is not the biggest scandal.

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

Weaponization of the premier public health agency in the country for personal clout and gain. The CDC website should not be trusted given the fact that it is controlled by people who will profit from spurious and false attempts to link vaccines to autism.
