It’s important to note from a military perspective that if a subordinate is about to give an unlawful order & his senior knows about it, it’s also a requirement for the senior official to stop him from executing it. And then counsel/discipline him.

So there’s that, too.

Fail them all. Let God sort them out.
If you are a chair of a department or supervise grad students, it might be important to collaborate with your colleagues on ways to strategize when a "problem essay" comes down the pike. It's one small way of protecting each other.

Now is the time for all who have had a brain MRI to come to the aid of their nation. Follow up questions: Was the experience deafening? Did they put your head in a plastic vice? Could you see a clock at any point, or did time lose all meaning? Were you scared shitless the first time you did it?

No one shld lose sight of the fact that the Guard was only in DC as part of an extended political messaging stunt. The shooter is guilty for the attacks/carnage. Donald Trump is responsible for them. This is the collateral damage of Trump abusing his powers as President.
Pirro: "These Guardsmen and all who are here to protect the District are the line that separates a civilized society from a barbaric one."

AOC: I have to tell you, in my traveling across the country, I am hearing and have been seeing consistent things from everyday people. And it is that they are terrified, they are frustrated, they are angry, and they are shocked by a president violating the values that we hold dear

The executive branch not spending the money that Congress has told them to spend is bad. The executive branch spending money on things for which Congress has not given them money is also bad (and, arguably, worse).
President Trump on Wednesday signed a memorandum expanding his administration’s authority to repurpose unspent federal funds to pay members of the military during the government shutdown, escalating his challenge to the authority of Congress on spending matters.
Trump Signs Memo Expanding His Authority to Spend Federal Money
The president gave Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth wide authority to repurpose funds to pay members of the military without approval from Congress, which has the sole constitutional authority to decide federal spending.

This coverage was astonishingly good. I am somewhat in awe of it. Follow this man. Give the Sun-Times your money.
Standing by this morning, waiting for Judge Perry’s courtroom to open for arguments today in Illinois v Trump.

Doors should open in 30 minutes or so.
National Guard troops could hit Chicago streets as soon as Tuesday after a judge refused Illinois attorneys' plea to immediately block a deployment called “illegal, dangerous and unconstitutional.”

Judge Immergut quotes James Madison from the
Records of the Federal Convention of 1787: “A standing
military force, with an overgrown Executive will not long be safe companions to liberty. The
means of defence [against] foreign danger, have been always the instruments of tyranny at
home.”

Now might be a good time for Democrats to remind people that when they return to power they will not hesitate to prosecute people who murder civilians.
