🚨MAJOR BREAKING: DOJ Deputy Chief Joseph Schnitt was caught on a hidden camera saying the government will “redact every Republican” from the Epstein files and leave only the Democrats. He also revealed that Ghislaine Maxwell was transferred to a minimum security “to keep her mouth shut.”

Mamdani: Why should I debate Trump's puppet when I could debate Trump himself? If Trump is serious about this, he should come to New York City. We can have as many debates as he wants about why he is cutting snap benefits for hungry New Yorkers just to fund tax cuts for his billionaire donors

Oh, now the turtle wants to speak? The same man who allowed this all to happen? He had the opportunity to stop all of this. To prevent it from happening. It’s because of this man that we’re in this goddamn mess.

Dept. of Credit Where Due: Rand Paul is a mook, sure, but he'a consistent and non-partisan on extrajudicial killing by Presidential fiat for more than a decade now, as far back as Obama's drone execution of U.S. citizens Anwar al-Awlaki and son. This slippery slope is now a murderous, amoral cliff.

This move by the Trump administration is an overtly discriminatory civil rights violation. Trans people have the same legal rights as other Americans — end of story. There are lots of good reasons to keep certain people from owning guns. Being trans isn't one of them. https://cnn.it/4niJnxG

4/ If law of armed conflict does not apply (and it does not), then... DoD has long-standing view that assassination and murder are part of customary international human rights law that applies to U.S. military action beyond U.S. borders. 2024 Operational Law Handbook⤵️ tile.loc.gov/storage-serv...
Ryan Goodman (@rgoodlaw.bsky.social) reposted reply parent
3/ The best line of argument for the administration might be that the law of armed conflict somehow applies. But if so (and it doesn't), that means the US War Crimes Act applies too, including the prohibition on murder. Finucane spells out that implication here:
