Rep. Chrissy Houlahan: "The last time we received a briefing on Venezuela with the full committee was never. That is something that should alarm everybody. Congress is supposed to be aware of what intelligence validates and justifies these attacks."

1. Will weaken safeguards against misconduct, harassment and assault, hazing, and discrimination - risking the trust and confidence that military troops have in their leaders.

Did 15 minutes with the acupressure mat tonight. It was not terrible, although reminder to self: don’t violently sneeze right after you finally get comfortable on one of these things. #selfcareish

This is a, 'Is it a legal order?' question. Is it legal to compel your Soldiers or service members to sign this legal document? When generally, classification methods and operational security (OPSEC) measures cover everything that would make such an NDA redundant. #UnneccesaryNDAs
"If I were a commander today, I would not sign an NDA like the one reportedly being circulated in the Southern Command theater. Not out of defiance, but out of respect for the oath I took to support and defend the Constitution."
Why Commanders Don’t Sign NDAs
Existing rules and laws applying to military secrecy are sufficient—and asking officers to sign NDAs is deeply inappropriate.

We need to stop calling Peter Thiel’s rants lectures.
They’re the ravings of a lunatic and should be treated as such.
What’s gone wrong in him is a mind poisoned by greed and paranoia, with a dash of religious zealotry.
Being rich doesn’t mean you have any sense.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

⚖️ If Trump truly believes Oregon is a warzone, he can try invoking the Insurrection Act.
He won’t—because it’s public, reviewable, and requires proof the state can’t govern itself.

Stephen Miller threw a 2 a.m. Rumpelstiltskin tantrum because a judge followed the Constitution.
Judicial review isn’t “insurrection.” It’s how we keep wannabe kings from turning the National Guard into their toy soldiers.

Polygraphs don’t detect lies, they detect stress.
Truth serums = drunk talk.
Torture = coerced confabulation.
If any of this worked, courts would use them. They don’t.
👉 Intimidation ≠ science. Don’t give empty threats more power than they have.

Just a reminder that the Commander-in-Chief of the Louisiana National Guard, who can call them out all by himself if they were actually needed, is … Governor Landry.

The head of the government's intelligence service is drumming up a conspiracy for referral to the head of the prosecutorial arm of the government to repress government opponents in potential show trials. All to consolidate the leader's power. (Yes, we are there. Up is Down. Ignorance is Strength.)
