Senator Kelly is correct. Plus a Public Service Announcement: KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1. The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal: "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

Mark Kelly on the Trump/Hegseth boat strikes: "If orders are illegal, not only do they not have to follow them, they are legally required not to follow them."

Tyson is closing a Nebraska plant that employs 3,200 workers in order to “right-size” its business. The meatpacking giant paid its CEO $22.7M last year, 525x its median employee's pay. It also spent $196M in stock buybacks to reward shareholders. Textbook corporate greed.

Really looks like the United States is about to launch a regime change war against Venezuela with: -No casus belli -No authorization from Congress -No allies or international support -No plan for a post-Maduro Venezuela -No preparation for any sort of stabilization or containment of the fallout

absolutely incredible -- CNN host introduces a segment about Trump's "new healthcare proposal," but less than two minutes later breaks into her script to announce "breaking news" that Trump's healthcare proposal is being postponed

If you had a nice loud guffaw about the BLM org founders who bought a mansion and siphoned millions, but your little lips are zipped about this one, I know everything I need to know about you. They’re draining the swamp alright - right into their own pockets.

I need to hear from everyone who had so much to say about Sleepy Joe “low energy” definitely-has-dementia Biden now that this guy fell asleep for 20 minutes during an Oval Office meeting and then stood there like a confused lamp after someone passed out. 👂🏻✋🏻 No, nothing? Weird.

If you have never expressed an opinion on the millions in taxpayer dollars spent on giving Donald Trump the joy of golfing at his own luxury resorts, then I definitely don’t need to hear your opinion on anything to do with SNAP.

Q: What do you have to say to farmers who feel that the deal is benefitting Argentina more than it is them? TRUMP: Look, Argentina is fighting for its life, young lady. You don't know anything about it. You understand what that means? They are dying

Extremely magnanimous of johnson to do everything in his power to prevent the release of the totally exculpatory epstein files, all to prevent democrats from embarrassing themselves. Truly a leader for all americans

Mike Johnson: "Suddenly now, they've somehow convinced themselves that the Epstein files will be damaging to President Trump and Republicans in some way that they've imagined, and so they feign outrage."

I like how he just rambles incoherent nonsense for hours but because the amphetamines keep him from rambling *slowly* the right wingers are blind to the dementia. Idiot weirdos.

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

I’m sure it has nothing to do with the fact that it was revealed recently that Andrew lied about his last contact with Epstein, and that he was friendly with (and supportive of) him long after it was “discovered” exactly what Epstein was.

Prince Andrew has announced he will give up his royal titles, including the Duke of York, following the release last week of Nobody’s Girl, the posthumous memoir by Virginia Giuffre, who accused him of sexual abuse while she was trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein. ⁠ ground.news/article/prin...

NEW: After paying for hotel rooms to shelter homeless people, Seattle deliberately left them vacant. By the end of 2024, taxpayers were spending $4,200 a month per empty room at a time when thousands of residents were without a roof over their heads.

propublica.orgSeattle Spent Millions on Hotel Rooms to Shelter Unhoused People. Then It Stopped Filling Them.Early last year, the city signed a $2.7 million lease extension to continue using a hotel’s rooms as shelter space. Yet despite committing to pay the rent, the city stopped sending people there.

Harrigan defends Trump's deployment of troops to cities: "I don't think it's wrong for members of the administration to characterize places like Chicago & Portland as war zones when they're putting up stats up about 50 murders a weekend." (There have been 58 murders in Portland all year as of Oct 1)

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."

McLaughlin: "Pritzker is saying we're using racial profiling to go after people. That's absolutely not true. We are targeting criminals who have perpetrated very horrendous violence against the people of Chicago. And yet he continues to lie and say we're zip-tying children. These are fake images."

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

They think their followers are really fucking stupid. They’re trying to say someone against ICE and pro-immigrant went to a facility, and using bullets that literally had the words “anti-ICE” written on them, exclusively shot the immigrants, and then committed suicide? 🤣 ok

Ground News @groundnews.bsky.social

President Donald Trump on Wednesday blamed Democrats for a deadly shooting at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Dallas, calling it the result of “Radical Left Democrats constantly demonizing Law Enforcement.” ground.news/article/2-de...

Not even “fuck ICE” or “brown coats” or “gestapo”? They just said “anti-ICE” with a marker on one of them? And in the middle of the investigation Patel’s number one priority was to post a photo on Twitter. They’re not even trying anymore. And they don’t have to, the right gobbles this bait right up.

Well looks like they met for this — Ed Martin sent a letter to the FBI agent who testified during Alex Jones trial about seeing the Sandy Hook children dead. Martin asked if the agent had a financial incentive. The rest is hard to parse. Martin wrote asking to keep the letter private.

Philip Bump@pbump.com

cool, ed martin (whose path to be us atty for dc was blocked and who now ostensibly runs doj's "weaponization" probe) is hanging out with alex jones

I haven’t heard anyone on the right talking about how Kash Patel told us that Epstein didn’t traffick underage girls to Clinton or Gates, let alone anyone else. It seems like they’ve been completely distracted by something else. How convenient.

Trump and Vance’s contradictory messages on these killings: 1: Our glorious military carried out hyper-precise attacks on dastardly drug smugglers. 2: If you’re an innocent fisherman, watch out because we might kill you by mistake!

Don't buy the canard that this is about Charlie Kirk. Abusing state power to lean on corporate leaders and get Jimmy Kimmel off the air because he told jokes about the president and made him feel bad was always the plan.

Whether it’s Fox News’s Brian Kilmeade advocating killing homeless people by “involuntary lethal injection” or MSNBC’s Matthew Dowd bringing up things that Charlie Kirk said, both networks have crossed the boundaries of decency.
