Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.

If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

It’s not just Pete. That Special Commander and whoever actually pressed any buttons to carry out the attack all need to be identified, charged, and prosecuted for war crimes. No such thing as “just following orders.”

Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.

Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing

"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."

Katie is joined by Palestinian journalist and writer Ramzey Baroud to talk about #Gaza, where he was born, and Israel's #Holocaust.

Katie talks with journalist Max Blumenthal about his latest article "Israel’s government issues ‘death sentence’ to remaining captives." youtube.com/live/6bqbMTc...

I don’t see a greater visual image yet showing how much this not about helping the poor disproportionately affected by violent crime even when crime stats drop than it is about comforting the comfortable and the scared and gated community aspirants than this

The #Madleen now sails just 165 nautical miles from #Gaza, a vessel of courage navigating hostile waters. As they draw nearer, we carry a revolutionary hope in our hearts that they will reach Gaza, ...2/

Take one minute: go to bit.ly/IsraelOnNotice and send a letter to the Israeli government, UN officials, and diplomatic missions demanding that Israel abide by international law and refrain from attacking, sabotaging or otherwise interfering with the #Madleen and her mission.

This is war on our own people.

NEW - Ben Schrader, the former chief of the criminal division for the U.S. attorney’s office in Nashville, resigned following the office’s decision to seek an indictment against Kilmar Abrego Garcia, sources familiar with the matter tell ABC News.

Pretty sure this should tell you all you need to know about the veracity of the DOJ's charges against Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

This guy is like one of 4 Americans who actually went and got their REAL ID and immediately they said it was a fake.

Just so everyone knows when they toss your ass in a truck it won't matter what passport or identification you have they'll throw it in the street and you're gone

NY17 Constituent and local social worker Emily Feiner was singled out and forcibly removed during Rep. Mike Lawler's town hall.

Exciting news! We were just named a 2025 Pulitzer Prize finalist in Explanatory Reporting alongside The Center for Public Integrity and @revealnews.org for our “40 Acres and a Lie” investigation into how formerly enslaved people were given land—only to have it taken back: 40acresandalie.com

Even *if* you accept Stephen Miller’s (textually, historically, and morally indefensible) claim that undocumented immigrants are not entitled to due process, you’d *still* need due process to ensure that the individuals at issue are, in fact, undocumented.

His argument fails even on its own terms.

As someone who has autism, I find his remarks almost comedic. I pay taxes, I hold a job, I played baseball, and I've gone on dates. Oh, and I was published for my poems when I WAS A KID. The only hardships I suffer is from asshats like him making my life difficult for being autistic.

Autism is not a disease and these kids are not damaged, despite what HHS Secretary Kennedy says.

A Palestinian activist expecting a US citizenship interview is arrested instead by ICE in Vermont Mohsen Mahdawi, a legal permanent resident, led protests against the war in Gaza as a student at Columbia University.

The Trump administration appears to be following the Netanyahu administration’s strategy regarding Gaza and Palestinians as a whole, which seems to be annihilation. Shameful, appalling, hypocritical, shortsighted and impossible.
