Hegseth: “We didn’t start this war, but under President Trump, we are finishing it.”
The truth: We did start this war two days ago. And now, apparently, we're not going to finish it in a way that will make it worth fighting. And we have a constitutional crisis.

I told those people until I was blue on the face that electing Hilary was crucial if, for no other reason than the courts. Just like I told the Nader people that Gore was needed to protect the courts.

Reminder:
A drunk from Fox News is heading the DOD. An ex-heroin addict who snorted cocaine off of toilet seats is running the HHS . A puppy killer who’s having an affair on her private sex-jet is running DHS. And they all report to a 34count convicted felon who’s accused of raping children.

From an ex-Hungarian MP @dailytelegraphnews.bsky.social, on April elections:
"The question is whether those who write the rules, distribute the money, count the votes, and announce the results will be willing to tolerate a world where they are no longer in power"

Appalling. One doctor “sent Mr. Epstein’s sexual partners elsewhere for gonorrhea treatment so that when their cases were reported to public health authorities, they wouldn’t be tied to Mr. Epstein. Some doctors also shared patients’ private health information with him”

The legal and ethical standard for a preemptive strike under international law requires a credible, specific and imminent threat, not a general hostility or nuclear ambitions.
#TrumpWar
Really good and pained editorial about an attack for which Trump has not built the necessary or legal support

The Constitution doesn’t have a provision for a president who simply announces he’s doing the thing the Constitution forbids and dares anyone to stop him. Except for impeachment and removal.

NEW: As Black History Month comes to a close, CBP appears to have scrubbed stories about Black people and marginalized groups' contributions to the history of the agency from an official page.
Archived versions show the changes happened the first week of February:
Mass horror at the killings of Renee Good & Alex Pretti has DHS’s budget at stake.
And yet in the past week, agents left a blind refugee to die alone.
And lied about it.
They pretended to be police looking for a missing child, to detain a college kid.
And lied about it.
What does this tell you?
I kind of miss when the goal of the super rich was just to not pay taxes, not engineer society to their dorm room racist visions.

SCOOP: Noem's DHS has acquired at least NINE new jets in recent weeks, with another one on the way.
Half are luxury jets.

The richest man owns X.
The second and third richest men control Google.
The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.
And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.
See the problem here?
Hey, remember that embarrassing thing we told you about the laser and the balloon? Yeah? Well, we did something even more embarrassing this time.
Whoops.
'fraudulent amber alert' is the sort of thing that simply must have decades in prison attached to it because of how corrosive it is to one of the few remaining high-trust law enforcement/public safety mechanisms.
