They can't tell a Maryland dad or a makeup artist from a "terrorist," but now they claim the right to blow up boats carrying people they imagine to be terrorists. If you have tattoos, maybe stay on dry land until a court inevitably strikes this down. nytimes.com/2025/09/04/us/…

Describing sending desperate migrants back to Haiti as an action with "lethal precision" is poetic in a dark and horrifying way.

What an amazing time to be a criminal. Diverted from their _real_ jobs to “mass deportation”: “1 in 5 US marshals (650 of 3,892), 1 in 5 FBI agents (2,840 of 13,700), half of DEA agents (2,181 of 4,620), over 2/3 of ATF (1,778 of 2,572), and nearly 90% of HSI (6,198 of 7,100).”

Stephen Miller tweeted that "a Democrat judge is refusing to let" 609 Guatemalan children "reunify with their parents." Guatemala's general counsel's office (PGN) could find almost no parents who wanted this outcome. To the contrary, Reuters reports: reuters.com/legal/governme…

There it is. The Commander-in-Chief issued an illegal order to the U.S. armed forces within @Southcom's Area of Responsibility, and the U.S. armed forces carried out that illegal order. state.gov/releases/offic…

From @WOLA_org: "Proportionality in use of force is a fundamental international law principle. Mere suspicion of carrying drugs, or merely being pursued in international waters, are not offenses that carry a death sentence, much less summary execution." wola.org/2025/09/lethal…

Sen. Cruz has long opposed authoritarian regimes like #Nicaragua. Now, #ElSalvador faces similar threats—political prisoners, free speech suppression, & power concentration. U.S. Congress must stay vigilant in defending democracy, regardless of ideology, before it’s too late.

I'm concerned about the potential for permanent damage to the long history of harmonious US civil-military relations. On the other hand, I'm out of landscaping ideas for the front yard, and these guys are just walking around. As I'm a DC resident, you can see my dilemma.

My wife and I went to a fancy DC restaurant last night for our 23rd anniversary. I took this shot from my table. As this admin. exploits our professional military in its sweaty pursuit of political stunts, armed Guard patrols passed so often it was like dinner in the Green Zone.
