So, it is official, Hegseth issued illegal orders. It is also clear the orders violate the Due Process Clause of the Constitution since no war has been declared and no other authorizations from Congress exist. Making matters worse, it not even clear the drugs were bound for the US.
⚖️ DoD Law of War Manual, page 1075:
"For example, orders to fire upon the shipwrecked would be clearly illegal."

This is a staggering cool JWST image of one of the most terrifying star systems I have ever seen. Apep is a monster… *three* monsters, actually, and blasting out radiation and dust and junk at speeds to freeze the soul.

A ridiculously jaw-dropping JWST image of a fantastically terrifying star system
Apep consists of three immense and immensely powerful stars blasting out a fierce dusty wind

Lots of Chicken Hawks are drooling at the thought of sending our children into Venezuela to steal the oil. Is enough enough? Did we not learn our lesson in Iraq? "Narco Terrorists" are the new "WMD's". We were told to STFU when we called out WMD lies. We knew it was lies. This lie is... worse.

Fentanyl. Drug Overdoses, including Fentanyl, are not even in the top 20 causes of death in the USA. Cancer, Diabetes, Covid, Heart Disease all in the top 10, and all have had their research funding cut. They aren't murdering just Venezuelans. However they are killing us much slower.

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

Seizing another country's airspace is an act of war.
Presidents of the United States don't have that authority. It's a Constitution thing. Have you ever read it?
If he follows through and Congress allows it, we no longer have a Constitution or a president.

Trump is a psychopath, Kushner is a sociopathic grifter, and Witkoff - he is a full-on traitor. They are all acting in service to Putin, who is a mass murderer - like Hegseth.

Closing the airspace over a foreign country is a de facto declaration of war but we’ve pushed so far into “let’s conspicuously underreact so everyone knows we’re savvy people not overreacting to Trump” that his de facto declaration of war is literally not even being reported on the news

it’s worth noting that the FDA official in question has never been a Principal Investigator on an NIH grant, despite having a physician-scientist appointment at UCSF

Finally got around to reading Prasad's actual memo about the purported deaths in children from COVID-19 vaccines, and it's kind of amazing in the worst ways possible.
At one point, he says (regarding rare adverse events):
"Causality is easy to assess in a randomized trial..."

This is an extremely interesting article about the collapse of early farming societies across Europe around ~5000 BC.
We like to think of prehistoric times as being largely peaceful, but it seems early civilisations weren't immune to ritualistic violence & cultural collapse.
