War crimes or merely extrajudicial killings, the median American voter will still see action on one side and pearl clutching on the other unless we reorient the message.

Democrats once again getting distracted by morality with the boat strikes just like they did with food aid - yes cutting SNAP is morally reprehensible just like blowing up speedboats filled with men who are essentially hostages to the cartels - but the politically salient question is about Americans

The Red Spider Nebula: surfing in Sagittarius. This warm planetary nebula harbours one of the hottest stars known and its powerful stellar winds generate waves 100 billion kilometres high. ESA & Garrelt Mellema (Leiden University, the Netherlands) - Hubble.
Huge waves are sculpted in this two-lobed nebula some 3000 light-years away in the constellation of Sagittarius. This warm planetary nebula harbours one of the hottest stars known and its powerful stellar winds generate waves 100 billion kilometres high. The waves are caused by supersonic shocks, formed when the local gas is compressed and heated in front of the rapidly expanding lobes. The atoms caught in the shock emit the spectacular radiation seen in this image.

Marko Elez's reported resignation has interesting implications for Musk/DOGE control over Treasury payment data. Elez was one of only two DOGE affiliates permitted by court order to access the data, and DOJ claimed that the other (Tom Krause) had only supervised Elez's work.
ORDER
(February 6, 2025)
With the consent of the parties, the Court DEFERS RULING on the Plaintiffs' [8] Motion
for a Temporary Restraining Order and ORDERS as follows:
• The Defendants will not provide access to any payment record or payment system of
records maintained by or within the Bureau of the Fiscal Service, except that the
Defendants may provide access to any of the following people:
• Mr. Tom Krause, a Special Government Employee in the Department of the
Treasury, as needed for the performance of his duties, provided that such access to
payment records will be "read only";
• Mr. Marko Elez, a Special Government Employee in the Department of the
Treasury, as needed for the performance of his duties, provided that such access to
payment records will be "read only";
• Any person who is an employee (but not a Special Government Employee) of the
Department of the Treasury and who has a need for the record or system of records
in the performance of their duties;

Here’s the math on that. Let’s assume every voter in Trump’s margin of victory this election voted for Biden in 2020 (to get a conservative estimate of the number of Biden voters who decided to sit on their hands in 2024). 77.3-74.2=3.1 81.3-75=6.3 6.3-3.1=3.2 But y’all wanted cheaper eggs.

Frustrated with Dems’ inaction in the face of the R’s assault on the govt? Consider this: America voted for this. We knew what would happen and we voted for it. 2024 Trump: 77.3M Harris: 75M 2020: Trump: 74.2M Biden: 81.3M That looks like 3.2M Americans who can’t say a damn thing about this.
