Natasha Bertrand: Lawmakers are apparently being shown the full video of the Sept 2 boat strikes in their meetings with Adm Bradley and Gen Caine. 

HIMES: β€œwhat I saw in that room was one of the most troubling things I’ve seen in my time in public service…you have two individuals and clear distress, without any means of locomotion, with a destroyed vessel, were killed by the United States.”

How in the hell do you claim that 83 people are enemy combatants when there is no formal congressional declaration of war? No weapons or ordinance were used against the forces present. No heave to announcement. No warning shots were fired. Just kill them all. This is what the U.S. has become

GOP Rep. Mike Turner: "This activity that's happening in the Caribbean where they are hitting these boats -- these individuals if they were captured and tried and convicted, they would be guilty of criminal activity for which they're not subject to capital punishment. These people are being killed."

Corn’s clean-energy promise is clashing with its climate footprint Corn dominates U.S. farmland and fuels the ethanol industry. But the fertilizer it relies on drives emissions and fouls drinking water.

"Corn ethanol requires millions of acres that could instead be used for food crops or more efficient energy sources. One recent study found that solar panels can generate as much energy as corn ethanol on roughly 3% of the land."

The N. Korea-style Trump Cabinet show is deeply abnormal It's way past time for news coverage that does not normalize, but rather rings the alarm loud and clear

This short On-Target video by @stevenbeschloss.bsky.social and me focuses on Tuesday's embarrassing meeting of the Trump Cabinet, a.k.a. Sleepy Don and his Cabinet of Horrors.

The corruption & self dealing by these thieving crooks probably exceeds the craziest plots dreamt up by novelists writing abt crime syndicates.

"another small startup funded by 1789 Capital, a venture capital firm where Trump Jr. is a partner, will receive a $620 million loan from the Defense Dept"

You might hope the Signalgate debacle- followed by the murder of two defenseless, shipwrecked men-might cause Republicans to confront Trump and force Hegseth out

Then work on other cabinet members so they can get rid of RFK, Jr and some of the others

But they don't have the spine to do it

Democrats Call Out Hegseth Hypocrisy Over Unlawful Orders A recently unearthed 2016 video shows the now-Secretary of Defense making a similar statement as the Democrats he branded as seditious.

USDA Secretary Rollins claims 186,000 SNAP recipients are dead & 500,000 got twice as much as they were supposed to get. The odds for these round numbers to be correct are slim. If you have data w/ specific numbers, be exact. Snopes could not verify Rollins’ claim because data is unavailable.
