I definitely want to know more. Do you? Call Congress.

@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.”

BREAKING: We won! 3rd Circuit affirms illegality of Habba appointment

We @democracydefendersfund.org are honored to work on this case with the wonderful folks at Lowell & Associates, Gerald Krovatin & many others 👇

Indiana Senate Republican Greg Walker “said he would have reported the alleged violation to federal authorities “if I thought that there was anyone of integrity in Washington that would follow through on my accusation ..”

They’re simultaneously arguing that soldiers have to follow all orders from the president, legal or not, but they get to ignore orders from a federal judge if they feel they’re not legal.

The campaign to make Richard Nixon great again The late president, who resigned in disgrace in 1974, actually wasn’t a crook, pundits on the right argue.

There are specific reasons Trumpists want war on Venezuela, but there‘s a generic one: they crave power to make war on anyone, any time, for completely fabricated reasons, and then to use the guise of war to increase violence and repression everywhere, including home.

They are lawless bestial scum.

The Ex-President Whom Trump Plans to Pardon Flooded America With Cocaine

This article lays out just how clear the case was against Juan Orlando Hernández, the former Honduran president convicted of trafficking cociane to the US was. He primised ro “shove cocaine up the nose of gringos”

Trump promises to pardon him. (Gift link) www.nytimes.com/2025/11/29/n...

Government actors who refuse to be bound by the rule of law are not morally entitled to its protection.

My bipartisan IRS MATH Act with Senator Bill Cassidy is now law.

Now, if you mess up your taxes, the IRS has to tell you where you made a mistake and how to fix it.

No more spending a fortune on lawyers or hours to find errors.

That means fewer headaches and more money in your pocket.

One reason I raise this is bc Kristi Noem now says that Lakanwal was "radicalized" in the US (she has to say that or she herself is complicit in failing to vet him properly).

But then how is he different from other Afghan/Iraq veterans who murder?

We should just work on the assumption that Stephen Miller plans to deport Habba and Bill Essayli.

Trump: I'm going to pardon massive drug kingpin Juan Orlando Hernández, bc I don't think former leaders should be held accountable for their crimes.

Also Trump: But I'm going to make thinly sourced claims that Maduro is a drug kingpin so I can rationalize an illegal war based on that claim.

Franklin Goes to The Hague

Oh nooooo!

Alina really is nothing more than a Parking Garage Lawyer.

His unit mate said Lakanwal sought help in June from a CIA program designed to aid Zero Unit veterans with immigration issues. Rolling Stone reviewed a screenshot of the group chat in June where Zero Unit veterans shared information with a CIA representative about ongoing issues. Lakanwal posted messages asking for help. His last post went unanswered and was deleted by the chat’s administrator. Rolling Stone called the CIA representative in the text chat, who claimed it was a wrong number. A request for comment from the CIA was not returned. Lakanwal, according to an Associated Press report and confirmed by his unit mate, would swing from “long, dark stretches of isolation,” sometimes going weeks without speaking even to his family to “manic” episodes, during which he would take off on sudden, weeks-long cross-country drives, traveling to places like Chicago or Arizona.

The Afghan Zero Unit community is tight-knit. At one point, during a trip to Texas last year, I watched as a group of veterans took over a shisha restaurant with more than 20 sitting at one table, laughing and smoking. Bonded by combat and the pain of losing their country, they are part of a lost generation of Afghans who believed America’s promise of democracy and sacrificed everything for it. But most of all Zero Unit veterans were heartbroken by Ratcliffe’s comments that they should never have been allowed to come to the United States because after fighting shoulder to shoulder with the CIA for almost 20 years, they are the next sacrifice on the altar of expediency. The only certainty in U.S. foreign policy from the last helicopter out of Saigon in 1975 to the Kurds after the Gulf War in 1991 to the 2020 Doha Accords and the Afghan evacuation in 2021, is that American loyalty comes with an expiration date.

Come for the description of Rahmanullah Lakanwa
feeling abandoned by the CIA.

Stay for the description of the entire group feeling abandoned by John Ratcliffe's attempt to disown the murder.

Months before my cousin Kevin died of AIDS in 1991 he stayed w my mom for a week. We were able to reminisce about our childhoods. All of us accepted & loved him except my sister who would not touch him. I still think of that & shudder at her behavior. People showed their true colors in those years.

Picture showing Trump as an all-time traveling salesman selling big league remedies, America first potions. Wordage grifter gonna grift

Trump’s Take (shorturl.at/RAhyv) analyzes the felon’s crypto ventures, legal settlements, gifts, and other deals that benefit him & his family personally.
His whole presidency is 1 huuuuge grift.

Today is the 70th anniversary of Rosa Parks' arrest. Six myths: 1) She wasn't old or tired. 42 years old that day, she had a "life history of being rebellious" & had spent two decades helping to turn the Montgomery NAACP into a more activist branch alongside ED Nixon and Johnnie Carr.

MAGA lunatic Sean Duffy proves that he doesn’t give a shit about transportation safety or procedures, what he really cares about is how people dress. This is why you don’t put trashy reality personalities to run the govt. we are living through very stupidly dangerous times.

IV. Habba is not the Acting U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey by virtue of her appointment as First Assistant U.S. Attorney because only the first assistant in place at the time the vacancy arises automatically assumes the functions and duties of the office under the F VRA. Additionally, because Habba was nominated for the vacant U.S. Attorney position, the FVRA's nomination bar prevents her from assuming the role of Acting U.S. Attorney. Finally, the Attorney General's delegation of all the powers of a U.S. Attorney to Habba is prohibited by the FVRA's exclusivity provision. Therefore, we will affirm the District Court's disqualification order.

NEWS: A unanimous Third Circuit panel rules that Alina Habba is not U.S. Attorney, cannot be Acting U.S. Attorney, and cannot have the powers delegated to her. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Nice!

President Hernandez was responsible for smuggling 500 TONS of cocaine into the United States! He was the top dog; the Pablo Escobar figure! He wasn’t just “selling drugs in that country.”

FFS. I knew Stone was behind this but I didn't know about this.

First Republican to call out Trump’s corrupt pardon of the man who helped funnel over 500 tons of cocaine into the U.S.

A nation that allows criminals to be pardoned by the very person who orders their crimes, is a organized crime syndicate masquerading as a nation.

Keep in mind: Trump put tariffs on Ukraine and exempted Russia

Trump is invading American cities to nominally address crime, and I think the scale of his pardon-sprees should be given more political salience

For those who don’t know, Jack served in the Bush administration but resigned in protest of the extra constitutional claims made by the administration. He’s no left wing radical, but he care about the Constitution.

He has forgotten more about executive power than I could ever hope to learn.

The president is about to start a war for no real reason. All of the things he has blamed on the country he’s targeting — fentanyl distribution, “emptying the asylums” and sending patients to the U.S., alignment with Tren de Aragua— are provably, obviously false.

Lots of people are going to die.
