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.

"Getting rid of USAID is a very easy way of winning headlines... But if your one accomplishment in government is to rip funds away from the neediest, so that they can die, so they can be unmedicated, so that they can starve, that is a moral stain that I hope will haunt you 'til the day you die."

One of the great joys of my life is that I educate students from all around the world. It may not look like it, but that makes me an exporter, bringing in money from abroad. But the President is making that harder, thereby blowing out the trade deficit.

The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 created the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. I reread it today; nothing in the law allows a president to defund PBS and NPR. In fact, Congress specifically sought to insulate public media from political pressure.

The firing of Biden officials from the Holocaust Museum is unprecedented & reprehensible. Museum Board membership a solemn obligation to education, tolerance & preserving the memory of six million lost. As with everything else, Trump is using it for purposes of political retribution. Unconscionable.
Every American who cares about preserving the memory of the six million lives lost in the Holocaust should be outraged by Donald Trump’s actions.

This is a big deal. Spread the word. But it’s tiny compared to the totality of what’s happening at NIH. Cure Research for all cancers, Alzheimer’s, everything is being gutted. Intentionally. It’s all getting burned to the ground but the news isn’t getting out. The new cures won’t be there for you.
