Pretty clear to me there’s a very good case against this man for mass murder, and I’m saying that in as measured a fashion as I can. He’s order the killing of 234 people under no plausible war or legal justification. I am skeptical he will ever face legal accountability for til his but he should.

The fact is Trump not only lost his war but it's the biggest L the US has taken at least since Vietnam. Our bases are destroyed & abandoned, Iran is emboldened, China is toying w/ us.

A federal judge ORDERED the Trump admin to privately show him the memo purporting to justify boat strikes that have killed 234 people in the Caribbean and Pacific. Judge Engelmayer rejected several rationales for withholding the memo from the public and will determine whether to release it.
The Court directs defendants to file the declaration(s), and to arrange for the Memo to be available for in camera review, within two weeks of this decision. See ACLU II, 2016 WL 889739, at *6 (ordering Government, within five days, to produce document at issue and “advise the court who has received [it] (including persons who received it from its original recipients) and for what purpose”); Elec. Frontier Found. v. U.S. Dep’t of Just., 826 F. Supp. 2d 157, 172 (D.D.C. 2011) (directing agency to “provide further explanation regarding whether it shared with non-Executive Branch entities the responsive documents that it withheld from the plaintiff”). Defendants are authorized to make appropriate redactions in the declaration as publicly filed, while filing the unredacted declaration under seal. Upon review of these materials, the Court will determine whether to commission supplemental briefing.

E. coli was the cause; doctors suspected raw milk as the culprit. Emily was not aware of the medical consensus that raw milk has no proven nutritional benefits compared to its pasteurized counterpart and carries >100x the risk of foodborne illness. “Just how stupid could I be?” she thought.

Brooklyn had developed HUS, a rare condition in which microscopic blood clots clog small vessels and destroy vital organs. Doctors fastened wires to the barely conscious toddler. A tube down her trachea to help her breathe. Dialysis lines into her vessels to support her failing kidneys.

But after Brooklyn drank raw milk for six months, it all began to unravel. Vomit that turned bilious yellow, then a tarry blackish-green. Bloodwork that so alarmed ER doctors they called for transport to a pediatric ICU 70 miles away.

That day, Emily visited the farm, met its owner Courtney Baker, and bought a gallon of raw goat milk. She explained it was for her toddler. Later on, Courtney texted to see how the child was liking the milk. "She is gobbling it down! 💜” Emily thought she had found a solution.
Screenshot of text messages exchanged between Emily Marris and farmer Courtney Baker from early January, 2025. The messages begin with Emily sending a photo of her toddler and writing: "She is gobbling it down!" with a purple heart emoji. Courtney replies: "Yay!! I'm glad she likes it!" On Jan. 8, 2025, Courtney follows up by asking "How's her tummy handling the milk?" Emily responds: "So far so good," to which Courtney says "Yay!" On Jan. 9, Courtney asks "Hey! How's her stomach?" Emily replies: "She has had two great and more normal poops!!!! Not constipated anymore!"

She asked if raw milk would be good for her toddler, and the group’s members quickly chimed in. "I had to put my baby on raw goats milk…Healed her right up," wrote one mother, recommending a nearby farm. Little did Emily know, the farm, called Moonlight Ridge, was unlicensed and unregulated.
Screenshot of Facebook comments on Chris's post. Emily Marris asks: "Would this be a good milk for baby Brookie? She's 1 year now and the store bought milk left her very constipated." A user whose name is blurred out responds: "I had to put my baby on raw goats milk. Healed her right up. With the guidance of my midwives. Goats milk is easier digested than cow. Do a google search. It saved my baby. I still drink it myself. Well it's all I drink."

Last year, Emily Marris started a new medication for chronic hip pain that could pass through breastmilk. She needed to find an alternative for her 1-year-old daughter Brooklyn. In a Facebook group run by her chiropractor, she saw one of his posts, which made her curious about raw milk.
Facebook post by Chris Boman, dated January 8, 2025. The post features a photo of a small black fridge with a transparent door, filled with gallons of milk. The post caption includes: "I have 4 gallons of A2A2 Jersey milk. Alf alfa fed only, no grain. $16 a gallon. The cream is a little lighter, we didn't skim it she is just holding back for her twins. Pick up at Trailhead Family Chiropractic in Murrieta. Venmo or Cash."
