Sens. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) and Jack Reed (D-R.I.) issued a statement Saturday vowing to conduct “vigorous oversight” on Caribbean strikes after a report surfaced that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered the U.S. military to “kill everybody” aboard an alleged drug vessel.

Donald Trump has killed at least 200,000 US citizens mostly elders through deliberate COVID disinformation and slow response, and in collaboration with Elon Musk at least 300,000 people, mostly children by cutting USAID. Altogether Trump has killed at least 500,000 people.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

Jeffrey Sachs estimates that the Trump tariffs eliminated $10 trillion. That money didn't transfer or switch countries; it was destroyed. In a matter of days, one decision cost as much as 20 years of war in the Middle East or half the cost of the 2008 crash—by choice.

Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me

The biggest thing we need to do is let people know that the protests are FUN. Yelling fuck the man is fun. You will meet fun people. We also need to make them more fun. Bring grills like the French. Bring instruments like it’s Mardi Gras. Give people a reason to spend their weekend in the streets.
