Senator Kelly is correct.
Plus a Public Service Announcement:
KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.
The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

KBJ threaded the needle thanks to CA1’s unfinished business.
-if she denied the admin stay, the full SCOTUS woulda stepped in to override her.
-if she immediately referred the case to the full Court, they coulda dragged feet.
-instead she boxed them in to act quickly once she does refer the case.

US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better."
Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better.
Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand.
We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.

Attacking Iran fits with Trump’s desire to divert attention from his failures at home: his losses in the courts, his unpopular budget bill, millions of people protesting against his authoritarianism.
When he feels humiliated, he gets reckless.
Understand what's going on.

Trump got maneuvered by Bibi into arbitrarily attacking Iran while they were engaging in talks, with no evidence they are actively developing a bomb, after changing his mind several times, without consulting Congress. But GOP lawmakers praised his "decisiveness."

Prepare for America’s Summer of Pain
The Trump administration has hollowed out the parts of government that secure our summers.

One of Ukraine’s most successful strikes deep inside Russia might be happening right now. New footage reportedly shows Olenya Air Base with Russian Tu-bombers burning after drone hits. More visuals are surfacing—this looks really big.

The federal budget is our money– not my money that was stolen from me and your money that was stolen from you, but OUR money, pooled from a bit of each of our incomes, so that we can fund the country we all share.
