man I don't know shit about fuck, but one thing I absolutely do know is that the second you pin a star on your shoulder, you make sure you have a resignation memo locked and loaded for immediate use. the correct response to "kill them all" is "no, I resign effective immediately."

Adding alt text to this because this is fucking amazing and everyone deserves to read it.

Bookmark this for the investigations to come: the Trump team’s boat bombings trace back to at least 2018. That’s when White House officials asked me & others about whether they could do something like this.

We said it was illegal then. Now they’ve done it anyway.

Excellent read

Jonathan Karl released a book earlier this Fall &this is an excerpt from the book referring to the 👂🏾 incident in Pennsylvania in '24. So, he knew this and held it until he could put it in a book? The 4th Estate is more concerned with clicks and book sales above all else.

kinda seems like what happened is that Bradley correctly understood that he was being ordered to commit war crimes but did not anticipate that anyone would later distinguish between the types of war crimes he was willing to commit

I want to know who’s at the keyboard tonight because his account has been posting like this for over an hour now.

95% is just bullshit screenshots from X and videos of weirdos from TikTok but the volume and rapid fire frequency is atypical.

At the White House on Monday, Karoline Leavitt, the press secretary, read a statement that said Mr. Hegseth had authorized the Special Operations commander overseeing the attack, Adm. Frank M. Bradley, “to conduct these kinetic strikes.” She said that Admiral Bradley had “worked well within his authority and the law directing the engagement to ensure the boat was destroyed and the threat to the United States of America was eliminated.” According to five U.S. officials, who spoke separately and on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive matter that is under investigation, Mr. Hegseth, ahead of the Sept. 2 attack, ordered a strike that would kill the people on the boat and destroy the vessel and its purported cargo of drugs. But, each official said, Mr. Hegseth’s directive did not specifically address what should happen if a first missile turned out not to fully accomplish all of those things. And, the officials said, his order was not a response to surveillance footage showing that at least two people on the boat survived the first blast. Admiral Bradley ordered the initial missile strike and then several follow-up strikes that killed the initial survivors and sank the disabled boat. As that operation unfolded, they said, Mr. Hegseth did not give any further orders to him.

Her scripted remarks at a news briefing elicited a furious backlash within the Defense Department, where officials described feeling angry at the uncertainty over whether Hegseth would take responsibility for his alleged role in the operation — or leave the military and civilian staff under him to face the consequences. “This is ‘protect Pete’ bulls---,” one military official, who, like others, spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal conversations, told The Post. Leavitt’s statement “left it up to interpretation” who was responsible for the second strike that killed the two survivors, a separate military official said, imploring the White House to provide clarity on the issue. One official said of Leavitt’s statement, “It’s throwing us, the service members, under the bus.” Another person said some of Hegseth’s top civilian staff appeared deeply alarmed about the revelations and were contemplating whether to leave the administration.

NYT:
Five officials told us that Hegseth had nothing to do with the second strike

Washpost (which broke the story 2 days ago):
“This is ‘protect Pete’ bullshit,”
and
“It’s throwing us, the service members, under the bus.”

I’m picturing a really bad version of A Few Good Men live on Fox.

Sooooooo this is another interesting wrinkle that I don't think any other media org has pulled on yet

TEA can be and often is delegated, but it also can be kept at a very high level...and if pete did indeed keep it with him without being delegated at least for the first strike, hoo boy

okay sorry this is really funny. Graham Platner was on a Facebook "Are We Dating the Same Guy"

All over the place. I love Land’s End cotton pajamas, buy the cotton flannel pants for my husband and son. They run sales all the time (ALL THE TIME) and so I grab them for $14.49 regularly. $14.49 for Black Friday. The women’s cotton nightgowns were ~$10 more than normal sales.

Headline: U-boat men to die for murder of Allied crews

After World War II, 3 German U-boat crewmen were sentenced to death for machine-gunning Allied sailors who were clinging to life rafts after their boat was sunk.
It's long been known in the military that this is a war crime. Pete Hegseth must be fired and prosecuted.

I was not Team Kelly for president at any point, but he has absolutely been stepping it up, and a First Lady who was herself a victim of gun violence might be the person to help bring real change on that front. In any case, I’m listening.

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.

What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

Martha Ripley was born on this day in 1843 in Lowell, Vt. A pioneering physician, suffragist and women’s rights activist, Ripley founded the Maternity Hospital in Minneapolis, which provided care for all women, particularly unwed and disadvantaged mothers. /1

I’m here for this (found myself making another pie tonight)

I’m sorry you lost her. It often feels like there’s a tragedy tied to almost every story from those days.

His isn’t.

Hilariously enough, I think they had a protective effect for me. I did enough roofies and ghb willingly in the 90s that when some guy tried to roofie me in the 2010s, I was okay enough for a 2m walk back to my hotel alone. Sick as a dog the next day, though.

If this isn’t the answer, I’m fairly doubtful about someone’s 90s rave attendance.

Aging sack of human excrement, hero of journalists from coast to coast

The most progressive, effective president in generations, who political journalists hated more than anything ever

The entire media industry tried to convince us that one of these men was too old to function and had severe cognitive decline

And one was healthy and young and vital and definitely not a fascist Nazi.

You’d never guess which they said was which.

And also made the best chicken.
