Cool cool. Now let's make a little internet joke about doing Hegseth.

NEW RULE: Stop asking Tom Cotton ANYTHING. He's a an illegitimate hack. A fake. A loser-coward. Everything thing he says is basically just him alone in a Motel-6, looking in a mirror, and jerking off into a napkin.

This is the small open boat Team Hegseth bombed and then bombed again. It's almost 1700 miles by sea from Trinidad to Miami. There is no way this boat was headed for the US.

No one recognizes the current SCOTUS as legitimate. No one but Trump. And sometimes he doesn't either.

Exclusive: Survivors clinging to capsized boat didn’t radio for backup, admiral overseeing double-tap strike tells lawmakers | CNN Politics The two men killed as they floated holding onto their capsized boat in a secondary strike against a suspected drug vessel in early September did not appear to have radio or other communications device...

🚨🚨🚨This collapses the one 'argument' Hegseth had against it being a war crime:

"The two men killed as they floated holding onto their capsized boat .. DID NOT APPEAR TO HAVE RADIO OR OTHER COMMUNICATIONS DEVICES, the top military official overseeing the strike told lawmakers."

Given the urgency of this motion - with employee firings scheduled for tomorrow, on
exceedingly short notice from defendants - the Court finds it appropriate to grant plaintiffs' TRO motion without a hearing. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(b); Civ. L.R. 7-1(b). Some federal employees scheduled to be separated tomorrow are stationed abroad, meaning their separations could occur in a matter of only several hours.
Case 3:25-cv-08302-SI|
Document 125 Filed 12/04/25
Page 2 of 3
The Court has reviewed the motion, the supporting declarations, and the supplemental
pleading and concludes that plaintiffs have met their burden in demonstrating that a TRO should issue.' On November 12, 2025, President Trump signed into law the Continuing Resolution ending
the government shutdown. Pub. L. No. 119-37, 139 Stat. 495 (2025). The Continuing Resolution contains Section 120, which provides in part:
SEC. 120. (a) PROHIBITION.β€” Notwithstanding section 106(1), during the period between the date of enactment of this Act and the date specified in section 106(3) of this Act,['] no federal funds may be used to initiate, carry out, implement, or otherwise notice a reduction in force to reduce the number of employees within any department, agency, or office of the Federal Government.
Pub. L. No. 119-37, Β§ 120(a), 139 Stat. 495 (2025) (emphasis added). That is, Section 120(a) prohibits federal agencies from issuing or implementing RIFs from November 12, 2025, through January 30, 2026. Nothing in the plain text of the statute limits Section 120(a) to apply only to those RIFs initiated during the government shutdown. Plaintiffs have shown a likelihood of success on their claims that the State Department's actions to separate employees on December 5, 2025, pursuant to RIF notices issued earlier in the year, violates Section 120(a) of the Continuing Resolution. The Court therefore adopts the language of plaintiffs' proposed TRO until a preliminary injunction hearing can be held.

As Justice Kagan begins her dissent by pointing out, what is even the point of trial, of fact-finding, of clear error, of standards of review, when the Supreme Court simply ignores every single part of that and decides everything purely on the papers without any real consideration of the facts?

This is what government censorship actually looks like: defunding entire fields, deporting researchers, and quite effectively chilling speech that helps people understand how our information systems are being exploited and calls out powerful people and platforms for their bullshit.

Hegseth Defense Collapses as Dems Reveal Horrific Video Strike Details The ranking Democrat on the House Armed Services committee tells TNR after watching the video: β€œThis is a big, big problem.”

NEWS --> Tons of fresh detail on what video of the strike shows: Rep Adam Smith says two men are sitting on capsized boat, drugs aren't visible. Rationale officials gave for killing is they *may* have been able to keep trafficking.

"It's bad," Smith says.

Exclusive | Hegseth Asked Top Admiral to Resign After Months of Discord The relationship between the Pentagon chief and Adm. Alvin Holsey had been rocky since Trump’s inauguration.

Wow, Adm. Holsey didn't leave of his own accord, Hegseth pushed him out. What looked like the SOCOM head resigning rather than do war crimes now looks like SecDef canning him to facilitate war crimes.

Congress should have him testify, and would've already if war-crime-sympathetic GOP didn't run it.
