Mike Johnson, a lying fascist who has never served in the military, got it wrong. They said, “Our laws are clear: you can refuse illegal orders, you must refuse illegal orders. No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our constitution.”
Screenshot from the Guardian Nicola Slawson Fri 21 Nov 2025 07.57 EST Share Good morning. Democrats expressed outrage after Donald Trump accused a group of Democratic lawmakers of engaging in “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH” and that they should be arrested after they posted a video in which they told active service members they should refuse illegal orders. The video, released on Tuesday, features six Democratic lawmakers who have previously served in the military or in intelligence roles, including senators Elissa Slotkin and Mark Kelly, and representatives Maggie Goodlander, Chris Deluzio, Chrissy Houlahan and Jason Crow. The video seemed to prompt a furious response from the US president. After his statements, the Democrats released a joint statement condemning Trump’s remarks. What did the lawmakers say in the video? “Our laws are clear: you can refuse illegal orders, you must refuse illegal orders. No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our constitution.”

Reddit is pretty sure Sam Thernstrom, who helped Clarence Thomas write his biography & is associated with conservative think tank American Enterprise Institute, is the same guy who intentionally struck a bicyclist with his car in Arlington this weekend 😬 #arlingtonva www.arlnow.com/2025/10/20/a...
ATTEMPTED MALICIOUS WOUNDING, 2025-10190094, 400 block of Long Bridge Drive. At approximately 11:13 a.m. on October 19, police were dispatched to the report of a vehicle crash.

Each commander typically travels with his senior enlisted adviser and a few lower-ranking military aides traveling for the summit could seemingly exceed 1,000. It’s unclear how the military will house them or transport them. None of the people who spoke with The Post could recall a defense secretary ever ordering so many of the military’s generals and admirals to assemble like this. Several said it raised security concerns. “People are very concerned,” one person said. “They have no idea what it means.”
