In 2016, Pete Hegseth said troops “won’t follow unlawful orders.”
In 2024, Pam Bondi said, “Military officers are required not to carry out unlawful orders.”
Now, they're singing a different tune to grovel to Donald Trump.

I’m surprised more people aren’t talking about Don Jr receiving a massive loan for his startup from the Pentagon. I guess when there’s so much corruption some things fly under the radar?

Democrats wanted to force big airlines to pay you if they delayed your flight for hours and hours. Then Trump came into office and cancelled the entire plan.
Why? Because he only cares about helping out his billionaire buddies, not you.

They’re simultaneously arguing that soldiers have to follow all orders from the president, legal or not, but they get to ignore orders from a federal judge if they feel they’re not legal.
KARL: Did you know about the judge's order when you issued your order for the planes to continue?
KRISTI NOEM: This is an activist judge. We comply with all federal orders that are lawful and binding.

The New Deal wasn’t built on a promise that there would be “no ceiling” for the richest Americans.
Quite the opposite, in fact. FDR knew its politics could only work if he singled out the rich as villains and knew that its policies could only work if the rich paid their fair share in taxes.
