If “mass funerals” of Israelis kept happening, it would be called a genocide.

a reminder again that the reason hegseth is like this is in his lone combat command he freaked out so badly his superiors deemed him a threat to his own troops and moved him to civil affairs so he now has insane insecurities

104 Iranian sailors, many in their late teens, unarmed, thousands of miles away at a training event with other nations.

Their final words to the US warship that slaughtered them "we are unarmed".

The law of armed conflict states survivors to be recused - the US ignored this.

David Vine found a $1 trillion Pentagon slush fund hiding in the federal budget.

This is why they are now physically coming after the Bolivian attorney general. The right in Latin America is heavily bound up in drug trafficking and Cerimedo’s arrest was/is threatening to expose it all. Don Trump Jr cameo extremely unsurprising.

John Roberts ruled that presidents are above the law. We are 578 letters away from 33,000 demanding his impeachment. Help us get there: https://t.co/yrqb1AFXim

Chief Justice John Roberts Shunned by His Neighbors as Backlash Over Pro-Fascist, Cruel, and Sadistic Trump Rulings Grows

Chief Justice John Roberts is being frozen out on the Maine island where he has summered for more than 20 years. Neighbors who once shared lobster dinners with him now keep their distance, skip gatherings, or show up to protest his rulings.

The break tracks the court's 2022 barbaric decision overturning Roe v. Wade and Roberts' 2024 opinion granting Donald Trump the same kind of broad immunity from prosecution that other authoritarian tyrants enjoy. Kayakers hold signs a few hundred yards from his house. "Roberts Benched the Constitution" appears on local roads. On Monhegan Island, people who recognized him chanted that he should be ashamed.

Longtime friends have pulled back. Members of a local cigar club skipped this summer's gatherings so they would not have to sit with Roberts and his wife. "It's harder for him to feel comfortable approaching people — and vice versa," said Mary Anne Mason, a former law partner.

His security detail has grown. He used to linger on the dock after church; on protest days he stays away. Wendy Schlotterbeck, a longtime neighbor, said she wanted to ask him directly: "Do you realize what your decisions are doing to my family and my community?"

A recent Gallup poll put the fascist-friendly Roberts Supreme Court's approval at a record low of 33% — which is still 33% higher than it should be.

If you want to know why DOJ is investigating the legality of the Watergate investigation, you don’t have to look far.

New: Jasmine Crockett was offering government relations & lobbying services on a campaign-funded website.

It was taken down after Zeteo reached out.

More people should know that The Atlantic's editor-in-chief is an American who volunteered to become an IDF prison guard.

In his memoir, he admitted to covering up serious prisoner abuse of Palestinians.

Republicans have controlled the state for 27 years. If they haven’t done it by now, they’re not ever. Only a fool would vote for Donalds.
