If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime.
If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.
It’s that simple.

Times front page is all about the contrast between the pardon for Hernandez and the invasion of Venezuela
Fascinating when the NYTimes decides to be a newspaper versus when they don't.
Why didn’t Trump order flags to be flown at half staff for National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom like he did for Charlie Kirk? 🤔
Exhibit 926 in criminal contempt proceedings. Noem’s declaration is due Friday to Judge Boasberg.
Thou shalt not pretend that you're at war with drug traffickers while pardoning drug traffickers.
Time to stop writing, & reporting a "possibility". The people need to see charges. Consequences. Done with threatening this without actually doing it. No such latitude for immigrants. Legitimate allowances offering protection asylum seekers, denied

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.
Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States. He has brought the office down so low in such a short time. Other presidents have tried but none have come close to this.
We’re the only country that lets the gun lobby write the laws and then pretends to be shocked when children end up in coffins.
NEW UPDATE:
The San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office has announced that four of the victims shot in the Stockton mass shooting were ages 8, 9, 14, and 21.
Millions of workers are toiling away from their families this holiday weekend.
So thank the workers who serve you. Appreciate the workers who care for you. Respect the workers who pick up your trash. Salute the workers who get you your mail.
Pay all workers a living wage.
A message for you this chili Sunday afternoon:
This tired, deeply-damaged man is so needy. He has to have references to him being president on his hat, on his shirt, and on a golf-framed placard next to his overcooked cheeseburger he's almost too-out-of-it to eat.
Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.
McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.
See the problem?
Senator Mark Kelly outside of the Senate Chamber at the US Capitol
Mark Kelly: “Pete Hegseth is not a serious person. He’s unqualified for this job. I think he is the least qualified Secretary of Defense in the history of our country by far. & this President thinks he can bully & intimidate people? He’s not gonna stop me from speaking out & holding him accountable”
Van Hollen: "It's either murder from the first strike if their whole theory is wrong, and I think the weight of the legal opinion is they've concocted this ridiculous legal theory. But even if you accept it, then it is a war crime. I do believe the secretary of defense should be held accountable"
Just imagine Mike Johnson’s face when we get this done.
Tell Congress to force a vote on extending ACA tax credits!
Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."
“The only people who get angry when hearing service members being told to ignore illegal orders are people who intend to issue illegal orders.”
The climate crisis won’t wait and neither will we. With this team, we’ll meet it head-on.
To recap: Trump said Zohran isn’t a jihadist and is going to do a good job, even as Zohran still maintained Trump is a fascist.
“Plead the Fifth” regarding what??
Maxwell has exhausted her appellate process. SCOTUS has rejected her.
Regardless, she lied with Todd Blanche so her credibility is dogshit unless you get someone like former AUSA Maurene Comey in there to question her.
