BREAKING: A shocking new Guardian investigation discovers that Trump and Hegseth murdered EIGHT CHILDREN and four adults, including a pregnant woman, in an airstrike on a school and homes in Somalia…and NEVER told the public! What ELSE aren’t they telling us? Shortly after 9am on 15 November 2025, the town of Jamaame in south Somalia was pummeled with a series of explosions. Missiles, almost certainly fired from American MQ-9 Reaper drones, destroyed a school and several homes. “All my children were lying on the ground covered in blood. When I tried to tend to them, shells began falling everywhere. Every direction you turned, there were shells and missiles raining everywhere,” said Marian Haji Abdi Guled. A farmer, Abdullahi Mohamed Abo Sheikh Ali, returned home in shock to find his children murdered. His grandfather recounted to the Guardian how “clothes and books were scattered on the ground, but I couldn’t focus on them. I was in shock, standing before the bodies of my grandchildren. They were ripped to pieces.” Mohamed is tortured by the memory of having to find the pieces of his torn-apart grandchildren. They were too slippery, he says, and kept sliding from his grasp. “There was no place to grip because they were ripped to pieces.” “The Americans bombed us,” said Abdullahi. “Children, women and elders were bombed. They spared nothing.” The strike killed Abullahi's heavily pregnant daughter-in-law Safiyo Hassan Abukar, her ten-year-old daughter Abdifatah, seven-year-old Abdinasir, six-year-old Hussein, and four-year-old Abdurahman. Mohamed Hassan Abdulle found his home flattened and the mangled bodies of his 26-year-old wife, Farhiyo Hassan Nuur, and daughter, 10-month-old Layla Mohamed Hassan. He stood beside his destroyed home, the entire neighbourhood ablaze. “I couldn’t even find anyone to help carry the bodies of my wife and daughter,” he says. Gedow Ibrahim received a call from his wife, terrified about the circling drones. He raced home. His daughters, Maryan, nine, and Farhiyo, seven, were dead. “I saw the lifeless bodies of my children. One of them had their left arm torn off. The other one had shrapnel in their back, which came out of their chest.” Mohamed says at least 18 homes were destroyed. The school was reduced to a shell. Guled counted nine strikes in the Burburka neighbourhood alone. Locals say that the al-Shabaab terror group has no presence in the town, which raises huge questions about why and how this quiet village of livestock herders was selected to be massacred, why the presence of children playing in the street didn’t deter the strikes, or why they kept firing after the first homes were hit. The Trump administration has refused to comment on anything. When the White House was approached for a response to the Jamaame strikes, the deputy press secretary Anna Kelly asked if the Guardian would also focus on “fraud committed by Somalis in the United States?” Between these strikes in Somalia and the massacre of sailors in the Caribbean, it is clear that the Trump administration is simply killing for the sake of killing. This is the consequence of building the world’s most sophisticated murder machine – the people in charge of pressing the buttons won’t always be responsible or empathetic. Sometimes, they will be murderous, racist psychopaths like Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth. They must be held accountable after all this is over. These crimes are beyond horrific.

My friend Jamie Raskin is one of the most careful and principled people in Congress. So when he says the director of the FBI may be running a taxpayer funded slush fund, I pay attention. Here is what he found. Kash Patel directed more than $1 million in bonus payments to a small circle of agents in his inner circle and on his security detail. Some were getting nearly $8,000 every two weeks on top of salaries that were already maxed out at the federal ceiling. A number of them collected close to $40,000 over consecutive pay periods. The payments came so fast that the FBI’s bonus reserve accounts ran dry and some checks bounced. So who got the money? Agents on Patel’s so-called "director’s advisory team." That is the unit created in 2025 and described internally as a payback squad, built to dig up dirt on the law enforcement officials who investigated Trump and his allies. Raskin has given Patel until June 29 to account for every payment, every recipient, and any internal review of whether this was even legal. Patel should answer for all of it. https://t.co/HZPeRJ2Kqg
