This would be a war crime even if there were an actual war and these people were actual combatants, which there isn't and they weren't. It's unquestionably an unlawful homicide under any form of law you wish to apply: military or civilian, domestic or international, federal or

A woman dies every two hours of cervical cancer in the US -- tragically and unnecessarily. With HPV vaccines and screenings, cervical cancer deaths are unnecessary, as Australia shows.

People who have lived through many presidencies are well-positioned to understand that Trump is unique in his flouting of norms, laws, and the Constitution.

Big day tomorrow. Don’t let Trump’s authoritarian crowd bully you into silence. This is our moment to stand up for our democracy and against his corruption. I will be with @BernieSanders at the DC rally. Find yours at https://t.co/8C7hvJzIBJ.

The shameless GOP lying about next Saturday’s No Kings gatherings reveals how deeply hostile much of the Republican Party is to “the right of the people peaceably to assemble.” I look forward to our local No Kings event and urge my fellow Americans to attend in their communities.

I don’t think folks realize how surreal this is. The fact that the Texas governor refuses to respect another state’s right should alarm Texans. Imagine the outcry from Abbott himself if it was Texas on the receiving end of unwanted National Guard from Illinois?

I will say, watching the behavior of the Generals today, respectful but reserved and apolitical in the face of Trump was heartening. Hopefully the next generation of officers, the young ones, see that and take it to heart.

This is a heartbreaking day for my LDS friends and neighbors. In my experience, the LDS folks I know are among the kindest, most Christlike folks I've ever met. And now they've endured the loss of their president and a deadly attack on a church. Horrible. God bless you all.

President Trump has dispatched federal troops to what he calls "war-ravaged Portland." Portland has its problems but it is not the "hell" Trump claims; it remains a food-and-wine heaven. "Hell" does not serve Pinot Noir this good. I suspect Trump is sending troops mainly to see

James Comey’s indictment isn’t the endgame, it’s the beginning. The first domino in Trump’s plan to corrupt the DOJ: silencing opponents, intimidating donors, and laying the groundwork to undermine the next election. This is about whether the future belongs to the rule of law—or

What I am hearing from DoJ sources: The Comey indictment is among the worst abuses in DOJ history. Shocking. It’s hard to overstate how a big a moment this is.

A corrupt president is using a thoroughly corrupted Justice Department to criminally pursue his enemies. Apart from the merits of any individual case, this is an alarming low point for our Constitution and our system of justice.

Aggie student: Political pressure on TAMU president is a bad look | Opinion

Where has all the leadership gone?  If not for university presidents, law firm managing partners, and corporate chief executives standing up against bullies, who then will step up for the first amendment?  The “suspending indefinitely” of Jimmy Kimmel immediately after the

Cowards. Shameless, morally bankrupt cowards.

“Let’s be clear about what just happened: Jimmy Kimmel, a prominent late-night comedian, was just taken off the airwaves because the Trump administration didn’t like what he had to say — and threatened his employer until they shut him up.”

The countries where comedians can't mock the leader on late night TV are not really ones you want to live in.

President Trump suggested today that media outlets are engaging in “hate speech” by being “unfair” to him and “maybe” should be prosecuted. Trump’s statement demonstrates the inherent danger of “hate speech” laws: Those in power will always weaponize them to silence dissent.

The attack on Charlie Kirk is disgusting, vile, and reprehensible. In the United States of America, we must reject political violence in EVERY form.

In any other administration (including Trump's first one), someone in the Pentagon would have said: "Mr. President, you cannot order the military to murder a bunch of people on a boat on the high seas." Designating them "narco-terrorists" isn't a thing that lets you do that.
