Remember that the only 3 things politicians care about is making money, staying elected, and screwing over the other party. Worry about constituents only occurs if it benefits one of the first 3.

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey.
This isn’t controversial.
A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

For what it’s worth, as a commander and officer it was my duty, moral obligation, and legal requirement to first question and then to not obey any illegal order I was given.
The same is true for everyone who swear their oath.
Hope that clears things up.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Team Trump has calculated that the public seeing whatever is in the Epstein Files is worse for Trump than a never-ending "why won't they release the Epstein Files" drumbeat. Every decision they've made re: Epstein is consistent with that, and I don't see any indication they've changed their minds.

It really is disgusting that Trump can insult, berate, single out, threaten, and demean female reporters on a daily basis for asking fair and legitimate questions and you can’t find a single Republican woman in Congress to say it is inappropriate behavior.

Incredibly depressing to see this story wrap up by quoting a lawmaker who says, “we have to allow for more exceptions,” when the entire story is evidence that exceptions don’t work, especially for a Black woman like Tierra Walker who was already at higher risk of dying due to medical neglect

That’s a NAFO fella in the cockpit!
A somewhat unusual image was shared by the Swedish embassy in Ukraine on Wednesday.
It showed a Swedish Gripen fighter jet with an animated dog in the cockpit on the day that signed an agreement to purchase Gripen fighter aircraft.
But why is there a dog on board in the cockpit?

To her credit, Salazar has been at the forefront of trying to pass actual immigration reform along with Veronica Escobar and Deborah Ross. But she's still a Republican who supported Trump, and she is likely toast if Florida Latinos swing back the way New Jersey's did.
GOP Rep. Salazar: "Talking about Charlotte -- 200 people in 48 hours were arrested. 70% of them did not have a criminal record according to DHS. That's a mistake ... do not touch the lady who has been here for 10, 20 years contributing to the economy ... that is why those people are protesting"
