For what it’s worth, as a commander and officer it was my duty, moral obligation, and legal requirement to first question and then to not obey any illegal order I was given.
The same is true for everyone who swear their oath.
Hope that clears things up.

The attorney general and the FBI director, a manosphere podcaster bro, pulled into the situation room a member of Congress best known for getting kicked out of a Beetlejuice musical for drunkenly giving her date a handy, in order to pressure her about the president's child sex trafficking scandal.

This is Adelita Grijalva. She was elected 43 days ago.
Republicans still refuse to swear her in because she is the final vote needed to release the Epstein Files.

America's religion is capitalism. Money is the God and the color green even trumps the color white.
So many Americans are going to suffer deeply due to Trump’s economic policies.
Meanwhile, they're throwing Great Gatsby parties.
They're underestimating people's rage.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions
"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Food insecurity is ALWAYS a political choice. Famine is ALWAYS manmade. People go hungry because of other people’s decisions. We have more than enough food for everyone, and enormous amounts of it are wasted—literally thrown in the garbage—on purpose.

Coast Guard bought Kristi Noem two private jets (I guess if one breaks down). Cost: $172 million. Is that what you call draining the swamp?

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.
I did it because the government isn’t.
This is what I found.

I was born in 1972. The replacement rate he's panicked about has been below 2.1% for almost every year of my life.
If you're really worried about the population falling, giving immigrants a path to citizenship is an obvious and easy solution.
Unless there's ... something about them you don't like?

RFK Jr: "When my uncle was president, the fertility rate in this country was 3.5%. Today it is 1.6%. The replacement rate -- in other words the amount of fertility you need to keep your population even -- is 2.1%. We are below replacement. That is a national security threat to our country."
