When you're accustomed to privilege, equality can feel like oppression.

There is no Article II authority to exercise war powers unilaterally and there is no Article II authority to violate the basic laws of man and God because “the president said so.”

One of the reasons I think it’s also essential to not call the boat strikes “war crimes” but “crimes against humanity,” is that it emphasizes that Trump and Hegseth are acting extra-constitutionally and are not entitled to any shield from the courts. This systematic murder of civilians is illegal.

Fuck you Hakeem Jeffries.
Jeffries: "The border is secure. That's a good thing. It happened on his watch. He wants to claim credit for it, of course he'll get credit for that. In terms of making sure that we actually deal with the issues that matter, including on immigration, there's a lot that's left to be desired."

Yes.

And then also fired a ton of senior agents with a ton of counterterrorism experience, including the Acting Director.
Didn’t the FBi pull a lot of personnel from anti terrorism to put them on deportations?

Actually the whole security establishment pivoted

Dress for the TSA pat down you want, not the TSA pat down you have.
Sean Duffy: "Dressing with respect -- whether it's a pair of jeans and a decent shirt, I would encourage people to maybe dress a little better which encourages us to maybe behave a little better. Let's try not to wear slippers and pajamas as we come to the airport."

There’s really not a blanket way to answer this question, because it would really depend on what the context was.

It likely wouldn’t be without drama for the member in question, either.

It’s drilled into our troops to not follow illegal orders, but actually disobeying an order is more complicated.

Hey, so what would actually happen if a member of the military refused to follow an illegal order? In normal times but also now?

I think they’ll be making a huge mistake if they tamper with them. Too many people have seen the real ones, and it will be immediately evident if they release a bunch of bullshit.

They’ll probably try it, but they’ll get caught.

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey.

This isn’t controversial.

A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

Just as an exercise in rote mathematics, there is no such a thing as a center when a limit is removed. Centrists get dragged along for the ride, pulled ever-further into the depths of fascism, thinking themselves savvy players that will land on a center that is no longer possible.

When Texas tried to steal 5 seats, I said to watch the litigation my law firm had filed because we had a good chance of winning in court. Today a federal court BLOCKED THE MAP.

Oh I just think America is selfish.

For a country that kidnapped millions of people to build the country.

It’s a bit mean to now close the doors.
