They've now killed four people -- three U.S. citizens and a Mexican national. They've shot several more.

They've lied about all of them. They haven't shaded the truth. They haven't "misled" us. They've brazenly, knowingly lied while in possession of the evidence disproving their lies.

I planned to share my report on the body cam footage early next week when I learned that a DC news station had obtained some of the footage as a result of my lawsuit and they were going to scoop me. After working on this for a year, I couldn't let that happen. Published 2 mins before they aired :)

… 6. US asks Ukraine, which is under Russian attack, for a hand dealing with Iran's Russia-assisted drones.

This seems suboptimal! _Deeply_ suboptimal, in fact.

i am reminded of how everyone tried to warn us that the very first trump cabinet from the first admin was β€œpeak” trump, and it was only going to get stupider from there… prescient, that.

this is literally what happens every time there’s military conflict, especially in the mideast.

So the question is… did the Trump Admin NOT known this, or do they just not care?

Bodycam video contradicts ICE claims in fatal shooting of U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas Video of last year's fatal shooting of Ruben Ray Martinez obtained by CBS News appears to contradict claims that Martinez was shot by an ICE agent because he "accelerated" and "intentionally ran over"...

DHS claimed "an ICE agent had fired 'defensive shots' into Martinez's vehicle after Martinez 'intentionally ran over' another agent."

But body cam video now "shows that Martinez's vehicle, a blue Ford Fusion, was stationary or going at a very low rate of speed when he was fatally shot."

Strategy is fundamentally all about developing a sophisticated theory of the mind of one’s opponent.

With MAGA’s Iran Adventure, guess we’re going to see what a modern war almost totally devoid of anything we’d call β€œstrategy” looks like.

The Crook-In-Chief robs the US of $1.6 BILLION with his (paid for) pardons alone. That's only so far and he's only getting started.

A reminder: ICE didn't leave Minnesota. The media isn't covering it, but the U.S. government is still terrorizing its own people.
