An ICE removal flight operated by Journey Aviation just landed in Myanmar--the second time this year. Migrants onboard will have been shackled for 19+ hours. Previous Burmese deportees were immediately sent to a nearby torture prison, per @jamesstout.bsky.social. gillianbrockell.com/three-craven...

Here to say that of Sunday shows I watch every week, today, Senator Mark Kelly is truly the star of the day. Happy Mother’s Day to all who believe in a military that follows its orders, a nation where guns are controlled, so our children can grow up without fear, & the lure of space is not a dream.

Kristi Noem ousted as DHS secretary
The chief “hatchet woman” for Trump’s merry band of xenophobes’ profoundly unpopular—and largely illegal—mass-deportation schemes is out. Kristi Lynn Noem, fired by Truth Social fiat, was unaware of the development while in the midst of a lie-filled speech. According to the aforementioned Truth Social post, MarkWayne Mullin will take over as DHS secretary. Noem is […]

I can confirm that in the case of 155 mm shells, production ramped up from 14,000 units to 40,000 units per month because we were shipping them to Ukraine. Now we’re at 45,000 with a goal of reaching 100,000.

She has two strikes against her. One is being a grifter who is playing canoodling around with a married man while she herself is married. So let the evangelicals get all hissy fit about that. And then there’s the fact that she’s a woman who’s doing that. If she was a man, they’d probably go along.

The defense companies can agree to ramp up production, but it will take years, not weeks. This announcement has a little to no bearing on the current war. But it makes for good propaganda. Sure we have an emergency — of the president’s own making, without congressional approval. Quelle urgence?

US State Department approves 'emergency' weapons sale to Israel
While US arms sales typically require approval by Congress, the secretary of state issued a waiver bypassing the approval. Major US defense companies have agreed to quadruple production of advanced weapons in an effort to 'improve Israel's capability to meet current and future threats.'

Yet just this week, Trump was insulting Zelenskyy, comparing him to PT Barnum. Of course we all know it’s projection. If only the United States had a leader comparable to the one guiding Ukraine in this time… What a world it would be.

Trump’s decision to go to war with Iran has given Ukraine a new card to play—its hard-won expertise defending against Russian drone and missile attacks. The Iranian counterattack with cheap, easily produced drones has added new urgency for the Pentagon to close a deal with Ukraine. Ah, the irony!

The issue at stake here is that principles no longer apply. After an arbitrary, warrantless execution, Jonathan Ross should be suspended. He should not be on duty. DHS should be taking appropriate disciplinary actions. Everything is upside down. The principles we know are gone.
