😭😭😭 Just said goodbye to a furry friend today. Hammy, you are such a good boy, I love you! I miss you already and I hope you and Rex can be better friends across the rainbow bridge than you were in life. I’m so proud of the hole you dug! It was amazing buddy! I love you! Snuggles, kisses, & loves!
🧵1 To be clear, orders are not presumed to be legal in the sense that anyone can refuse to follow a blatantly illegal order- and in cases of orders where ambiguity of legality exists there are multiple avenues to reach a consensus outside of a court martial. Especially in peacetime.

And because the senior leaders know this- tRump and KegBreath got them all in one room to look for facial and behavioral clues for who will be a yes-man and bend the knee- and who will follow the oath we took.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth — decrying “fat generals and admirals” — outlined new rules for the “highest male standard” for fitness in combat roles.
“If that means no women qualify for some combat jobs, so be it,” he told hundreds of military leaders ordered to gather at Quantico for his speech.

Government punishing individuals & businesses for speech is literally a First Amendment violation.
This isn't some "free speech has private sector consequences" situation. This is exactly what the founders were trying to prevent.

When discussing how to handle the unhoused and mentally ill populations, Brian Kilmeade of Fox & Friends recommended to “just kill them” using “involuntary lethal injection.”
This is how the Trump regime and its propagandists can normalize and bring about the mass murder of vulnerable populations.

I hope these service members and federal employees retain counsel from the @aclu.org because while the gov can limit what they say in certain aspects and circumstances, opinions they post on private accounts and what their spouses or children post is not subject to the UCMJ or Fed Law.
(1/2) "Several service members have been relieved from their jobs because of such posts, the officials said [...] It’s unclear exactly how many people have been disciplined."
It's also unclear how making statements as simple as "I don't give a shit about Charlie Kirk" are against military policy.

My bootcamp buddy came back from her deployment and while we discussed the merits of combat experience she said, “a person can do honorable things, even if they’re a dirtbag, but that one act of honorable mention doesn’t make them honorable, they can still be dirt!”
Matthew Dowd has integrity. MSNBC, not so much.
What he said was true.
Just because you're dead doesn't mean you are all of a sudden a good person. You're still a asshole, past tense.

Political analyst Matthew Dowd appeared on the network as gunfire at Utah Valley University, where Kirk, 31, was speaking on Wednesday afternoon.

I served as a Marine for 9 years, am transgender and served as a transgender man. I know how to properly handle a firearm. I also believe we need more responsible hands-on gun education to demystify guns, hold owners responsible for proper storage, de-militarize our police, and better free MH care.

Considering he’s been feeding ammunition for war crimes- I say if he wants to claim that he’s “in the service” then he’s also subject to the UCMJ and Geneva Conventions. It’s all or nothing- you’re either in it and subject to rule of law- or you’re a liar and a hypocritical jackass. Take your pick!!
Trump, who famously dodged the draft by claiming he had *bone spurs*, calls himself a “war hero” 🤔

Holy cow- Schumer is doing something more than a lazy speech for once!
It’s August 15th, the deadline for Trump and Bondi to release the Epstein files to us under the Rule of 5.
They’re now breaking the law to hide the files.
Sen. Thune must appoint a lawyer to defend the Senate in Court and get the files.
If he chooses complicity—we’ll take them to court ourselves.

Imagine being a juror and hearing these instructions from the judge, “If the defendant has been formally charged with a crime, your only option is to find them guilty. Your job is to determine whether they’ve been charged.”
