The US destruction of Iranian oil refineries constitutes a war crime because the refineries themselves are a civilian target and not a military one. This action is intended to inflict suffering and loss to civilian populations with minimal impact on any military installations.

It's a sign of the times that AI companies are deciding whether or not to allow the military to engage in mass surveillance of US citizens and this is treated as a legitimate debate of two reasonable positions.

Sunny and her coworkers were sent to Wisconsin. They are on their way home now.

ICE caught lying multiple times (surprise) and the police protecting them and cook country police covering their license plates. (Illegal)

This is absolutely unacceptable and THEY NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

Helluva way for the president to refer to dead soldiers β€” soldiers killed in a war he started.

Kristi Noem Misled Congress About Corey Lewandowski’s Role in DHS Contracts Testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Noem denied that Corey Lewandowski had any role in approving contracts. But internal DHS records and interviews with current and former agency staffer...

Kristi Noem personally approved all DHS contracts over a certain threshold.

But before the contracts reached her, they had to be approved by political appointees. Lewandowski was typically the last to OK a contract before Noem, DHS officials said.

I’m betting it’s to keep them quiet so they don’t talk about what’s really going on (or NOT going on) in the WH & overall govt

No House Ds should have voted for this. War Powers resolution defeated 212-219.

Remember these Ds as body bags come home:
Jared Golden (ME-2)
Greg Landsman (OH-1)
Henry Cuellar (TX-28)
Juan Vargas (CA-52)

None deserve any committees of prominence if reelected & Ds return to power.

So the USA plans to effectively seize control of all Iran's oil, and the UK's fine with enabling that?

Talk about being on the wrong side of history!

Pam Bondi needs to go next. And at some point, to go to prison.

It will be a parade of sadistic, cruel, incompetent architects and participants of this lawless regime into accountability one day.

First, we must fight to take power away from them. They won't give it up.
