The Bill of Rights for soldiers
What you have to understand about the military is that it functions as a nearly absolute autocracy within the democracy that governs the rest of the country.

Disgusted. Weak and ineffectual...Republicans counted on you caving.
joncooper-us.bsky.social Jon Cooper @joncooper-us.bsky.social · Nov 10
Here’s the list of the eight Democrats who caved:

⚫️ Catherine Cortez Masto
⚫️ Dick Durbin
⚫️ John Fetterman
⚫️ Maggie Hassan
⚫️ Tim Kaine
⚫️ Angus King
⚫️ Jackie Rosen
⚫️ Jeanne Shaheen

Their excuses don’t hold water. They betrayed all Americans who were counting on them to stand firm and keep fighting.
