@markhertling.bsky.social: “When you're talking about striking against someone who's wounded and clinging to debris…Deliberately targeting such a person isn't a tactical decision, it's a war crime by the Geneva Convention, the laws of land warfare, and the U.N. Charter.”

Joe Biden was only president for 4 years. Lots of immigrants have been way longer than 4 years.

White House Says Admiral, Not Hegseth, Ordered Second Strike on Alleged Drug Boat “And he was well within his authority to do so,” press secretary Karoline Leavitt said.

Blaming the Admiral now.

But Leavitt attempted to distance Hegseth from the second strike, telling reporters Monday that Admiral Frank M. “Mitch” Bradley, the head of Special Operations Command, was responsible for the final order.

On paper Adm. Frank Bradley was an excellent choice for SOCOM.

In reality, he was just a yes-man, as all TACO appointees must be.

All those years of honorable service blown in a just few weeks.

I will NEVER understand people who throw the merits of their entire careers before man who hates

Yikes! Trump’s SHOCKING Pardon IGNITES Global OUTRAGE
YouTube video by Katie Phang Yikes! Trump’s SHOCKING Pardon IGNITES Global OUTRAGE

Trump announces a “full and unconditional” pardon for Juan Orlando Hernandez, a former president of Honduras sentenced to 45 years for drug trafficking and weapons offenses.

My latest on Trump’s continued abuse of the presidential pardon power:

I’ve wondered the same thing, honestly. It can’t help twitter’s standing with investors or advertisers, it reveals a whole bunch of propaganda accounts that are just there to take advantage of ad sharing and meddle in our affairs, etc.

I don’t see ANY benefit for Musk here. I like the change though

Why, in your opinion, did Musk allow us to see where X accounts are geographically located? He knows how many bots are out there, so I’m very confused why he did it. What’s in it for him to do it? PS; I do love that it was done, just wondering the motive

I’ve long advocated for the press corps to stand in solidarity and do two things:

1. Follow ups should be directly at him being an asshole and defending their coworkers

2. They should absolutely ignore him and refuse to give him any press other than the fact that he’s an asshole

Admiral Bradley needs an attorney for sure, but he also needs to open his eyes to what he is doing and what he did. He swore to protect and serve, and it damn sure is not Donald Trump or Pete Hegseth.

The Admiral is in deep shit, and it was his choice to wade into it.

ICE raids are cruel, inhumane, and do nothing to serve public safety.

My responsibility is to be the mayor to each and every person that calls this city their home. That includes millions of immigrants— of which I am one.

Senate barrels toward failure on health care A bipartisan breakthrough appears unlikely ahead of next week's scheduled votes.

Senators have about a week before they’re set to vote on soon-to-expire Affordable Care Act subsidies. Most of them already believe the chances for a bipartisan breakthrough by then are roughly zero.

FYI as you head into the holiday season:

Shopify is a Canadian company, but its CEO Tobi Lütke is Maple MAGA in both words & monetary support (under the guise of “free speech” & “open commerce”).

First came reports that Hegseth ordered a killing strike against defenseless men

Followed by Hegseth’s non-denial denial

Then Trump DIDN’T deny it-but said it wasn’t Hegseth

Now Karoline Leavitt ADMITS it-but says Admiral Bradley gave the order

One thing seems sure

Somebody is going down

This says it all. At this dangerous stage of Trump's plans, it's time to stop him, not talk about it.

Pretty easy to imagine what it does, actually. Particularly amongst the core of professional, career officers and NCOs.

Imagine what it does to morale in the military to see the defense secretary hang an admiral out to dry to avoid responsibility for war crimes.
