John,

Since September, the Trump administration has launched more than a dozen lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean and Pacific, killing more than 80 people without due process, transparency, or congressional authorization.

And according to a bombshell Washington Post investigation, during the very first strike, Hegseth gave a verbal directive: no survivors.

When two people were seen clinging to the wreckage after the first blast, the commander overseeing the operation allegedly ordered a second strike to finish the job.

This is the kind of conduct the international community calls a war crime.

Hegseth now denies all of it—calling it “fake news”—but the White House itself later confirmed key details he tried to cover up. Rand Paul is openly asking how a Defense Secretary could possibly have “no knowledge” of a second strike he claimed to watch live.

Even worse? Trump is doubling down. He’s publicly defending Hegseth, dismissing the accusations, and brushing off the concerns of Congress, experts, and his own party.

A bipartisan group of senators has now launched an investigation, and lawmakers across the aisle are raising the alarm about extrajudicial killings carried out under Trump’s orders.

John — this is the reality: The so-called “peace president” is dragging us toward another war while shielding his own administration from accountability.

This moment demands action. There is no sitting on the sidelines while a president greenlights deadly operations that lawmakers, military experts, and even his own allies say may violate international law.

Grassroots power is the only force strong enough to stop this spiral before it becomes irreversible. If we’re going to hold Trump accountable — if we’re going to stop him from leading this country into another catastrophic conflict — we need to mobilize now.
