Pete Hegseth * G @PeteHegseth X.com Your wish is our command, Andrew. Just sunk another narco boat. Andrew Kolvet • @AndrewKolvet • 3h Every new attack aimed at Pete Hegseth makes me want another narco drug boat blown up and sent to the bottom of the ocean. x.com/SenSchumer/sta...

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announces another boat strike in response to a request/wish from Turning Point USA’s Andrew Kolvet.

"At least $5.9 trillion will be inherited by billionaire children over the next 15 years, the bank calculates."

8/ A public service reminder:

This entire exercise is an absurd, imaginary world for legal experts.

That's because the truth is:

It's not an armed conflict.
The laws of war thus don't apply.

The more restrictive rules of human rights apply.
It's extrajudicial killing under that law.

7/ After serving in the Dept of Defense, I wrote the law review article SUPPORTING war-sustaining targeting.⬇️

But transporting/working on war-sustaining objects does not equal "active combat activities."

The 11 were civilians, and retrieving cocaine would not make the 2 less than shipwrecked.

I was tempted to cross a lot of gifts off my list this weekend. But I couldn't trust the "deals". Fortunately, we have a lot of great local and indie options where I live.

Dynamic pricing makes me feel like a dupe with every online purchase.

Trump has decimated Republican support in one year. EVERY county in both Virginia and New Jersey has moved blue, some by double digits! LFG!

Raju: Last week, you were very critical of Biden, you said he didn’t even know who was pardoning. On 60 minutes, Trump admitted not knowing he pardoned a crypto billionaire guilty of money laundering. Is that also concerning?

Johnson: I don’t know anything about it.

My state government is activating a disaster response... to our disastrous federal government. www.mass.gov/president-tr...

Trump is holding a Great Gatsby/Roaring 20s-themed party at his private club in Palm Beach tonight as he tries to withhold SNAP and health care subsidies from millions of Americans. (via Kellie Meyer)

An obscure lab accidentally billed the wrong insurance on March 13, and Aetna suspended all payments to my providers since. I happened to piece this together from obscure lines in obscure portals. It can't get worse, but then it does.

Trump’s delusional if he thinks this ends with Bubba from Oklahoma landing a tech job. Tech firms will just move operations overseas to reach top-tier talent.

📌 After Trump slapped a $100K fee on new visas, several passengers bailed minutes before takeoff, afraid they couldn’t get back into the US.

Claims denied 3x by my health insurance provider and resubmitted by me were finally approved. 💃🏽 Can I have a cookie?

😂 forgot about that one

I just signed a waiver releasing my kids' hiking group from all responsibility for her wellbeing and jeez, there sure are a lot of ways to die.
