Many of the executive orders that come from the White House seem like knee jerk reactions to “unfavorable” remarks, not reasoned policy decisions.
The situation with Senator Kelly could be the lack of careful reading of what the Senators said. Not one of his sycophants has the courage to correct 🍊.

We may have reached the Joseph Welch moment of this presidency. To go after Senator Kelly is beyond the pale. Welch’s remarks below [finally] lead to the downfall of Senator McCarthy.

Hi, Bluesky!

I packed awesome people into the “Additional November Pack.”
I check each individual account, which can take some time, so please don’t be offended if you’re not included in this starter pack.
Next time for sure!

I wish all of you a beauteous day.

Remember this tactic that might be needed someday.

The police in Brazil arrested former President Jair Bolsonaro on Saturday amid fears that he might escape house arrest to avoid serving a 27-year prison sentence for a failed coup plot, according to a Brazilian court order.

But Ms. Greene said she had made the decision to leave because she did not want to endure a “hurtful and hateful primary against me by the president we all fought for, only to fight and win my election while Republicans will likely lose the midterms.”

If a reasonable person would know the order is illegal, you MUST refuse.

Obedience is not absolute, duty to the Constitution is.

Oath is to defend the Constitution not a person

Yes. U.S. service members have a legal and moral obligation to disobey an illegal order.

Not just the right.
The DUTY.

And the dominoes start falling for arrogant Larry Summers.

First, he “stepped back” from public engagement, then, he “stepped down” from the board of OpenAI, and now,“taking leave” from teaching at Harvard. Dude, you’re cooked. Overdone already. There are nice rocks to crawl under in New England.

Too Late, Larry. You’re only sorry that you were finally found out.

“I am deeply ashamed of my actions and recognize the pain they have caused,” he told POLITICO.

Pressure to resign from Harvard was already high. Clock is ticking.
