{𝗮𝙅𝙎𝘿}: At moments like this —𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒕𝒉 𝒊𝒔 𝒃𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒗𝒆 𝒑𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒓— you can almost hear Cicero thunder: the Republic demands light, not flattery; law, not loyalty tests. Stop prostituting 𝓿𝓮𝓻𝓲𝓽𝓪𝓼 to shield the prince; restore it to the public good.
⤴ {𝗮𝙅𝙎𝘿} ❝At moments such as these, when truth itself seems bent to the service of power, one cannot but summon in imagination the voice of Cicero1, thundering with righteous fury as though the very Forum still echoed with his words from the rostra:❞ ❝Studium veritatis, quod sanctissimum semper haberi oportuit atque lumen rei publicae esse debuit, hic non modo flectitur sed plane depravatur, non modo infirmatur sed turpissime prostituitur atque corrumpitur, ut non populi salutem tueatur nec legum auctoritatem confirmet, sed principis mendacia contegat, eiusque libidini ac dominationi serviat.❞ English (thunder in the Forum): The pursuit of truth, which ought always to be held most sacred and to stand as the light of the Republic, is here not only bent but utterly debased, not only weakened but most shamefully prostituted and corrupted, so that it does not guard the safety of the people nor uphold the authority of the laws, but cloaks the ruler’s lies and serves his lust and tyranny. 1 The Roman statesman, orator, and lawyer Marcus Tullius Cicero (Mon. 03-Jan-0106 BCE — Fri. 07-Dec-0043 BCE). BTW, that’s pronounced KIK-eh-ro ˈkɪkɛro. If you want to hear Italian as close to Latin as possible, listen to Sardinians speak.

A longtime DC observer warns that Trump’s push to punish Sen. Mark Kelly for telling troops not to follow illegal orders could trigger a ❝moment of truth❞ when senior officers must either speak up or obey dubious commands.
The piece reports John Heilemann’s warning that Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s campaign against Sen. Mark Kelly for reminding troops about illegal orders may backfire, forcing senior active-duty officers into a historic ❝moment of truth❞ where they either publicly resist or comply with questionable —even blatantly illegal— commands. ❝The question for me is, when do we get to the point where active duty senior military officials start to speak up, because they have kept quiet?❞ John Heilemann, longtime Washington observer, on ❝Morning Joe❞ ❝They have kept quiet in the face of the discussions of sending in the military to a place like Chicago and Los Angeles and other places…❞ John Heilemann, arguing that senior officers are already uneasy with Trump’s politicised use of the military ❝I think there’s a moment that’s coming … where not just retired, but where current active duty senior military who are clearly, quietly troubled by everything that’s going on with this, are going to face a moment of truth where they’re either going to have to speak up, or they’re going to have to end up obeying orders that are at least questionably legal and possibly blatantly illegal.❞ John Heilemann, describing the looming choice for top brass under Trump ❝That’s going to be a big moment in this country. We haven’t seen anything like that from active duty military speaking out publicly, really, in our lifetimes.❞ John Heilemann, on how unprecedented such open dissent from serving officers would be

Trump’s death-threat rant at lawmakers who told troops to refuse illegal orders, Hartmann argues, is a criminal assault on the rule of law that must be answered with impeachment, prosecution, and a mass rejection of his counterfeit kingship.
Hartmann argues that Trump’s call for death-penalty ❝sedition❞ charges against six veteran lawmakers —simply for reminding troops they must refuse illegal orders— is itself a textbook crime and a declaration of war on the rule of law that demands impeachment, criminal prosecution, and organised public resistance. ❝Under Trump’s neofascist worldview, the only ❛legal❜ act is obedience.❞ Thom Hartmann, arguing that Trump is trying to redefine legality as personal loyalty ❝Threatening members of Congress with execution for following the law is an extreme, textbook violation.❞ Thom Hartmann, citing 18 U.S. Code § 610 to argue Trump’s threats are themselves criminal

{𝙖𝙅𝙎𝘿} Call it venting 😡 if you like — but this is too important to let slide… ⤵
{𝗮𝙅𝙎𝘿} A reminder; just chock-full of my opinion(s) because venting… On Sun. 12-Feb-2017, on CBS’ Face the Nation, Stephen Miller said: ❝The powers of the president to protect our country are very substantial and will not be questioned.❞1 FactCheck and similar outlets got fussy later because memes shortened it to ❝The powers of the president will not be questioned❞ and left out the ❝to protect our country❞ bit.2 That ❝correction❞ doesn’t actually fix the core problem: He was explicitly attacking the judiciary for blocking the Muslim ban and saying, in effect, when it comes to ❝protecting our country,❞ the president’s powers are beyond review. That’s exactly the unreviewable authority mindset we’re talking about — the same worldview behind calling lawful statements about refusing illegal orders ❝seditious❞ now. Different year, same throughline: 2017 Miller: courts shouldn’t question the president’s ❝protect the country❞ powers. 2025 Trump / Hegseth / Patel: lawmakers warning troops about illegal orders might be traitors ❝punishable by death.❞ It’s the same project: turn questioning the leader into something abnormal, dangerous, or criminal. {𝗮𝙅𝙎𝘿} It’s dissent that Trump and his minions hate most; their overuse of ❝emergency❞ and ❝sedition❞ to crush opposition is straight-up tyrant-like behaviour. They criminalise disobedience to them while pretending it’s loyalty to ❝the nation❞ or ❝order.❞ Two classic tools: Emergency Declare everything an emergency so you can bypass normal constraints. Anyone resisting becomes ❝reckless,❞ ❝dangerous,❞ or ❝helping the enemy.❞ Sedition / Treason Slap the language of betrayal* on ordinary opposition so you can justify surveillance, prosecution, or at least public vilification. Once you start tossing around ❝punishable by death❞ over a lawful, accurate statement of military duty, you’ve left the realm of normal democratic politics. In this case it’s especially perverse because the Dems’ message —you must refuse illegal orders— is literally textbook military law. So, investigating that isn’t about legality; it’s about enforcing personal loyalty and scaring off future dissenters. That’s basically the core diagnosis. The process is the punishment, and the word ❝sedition❞ is the club.

{𝗮𝙅𝙎𝘿} ❝Fourth Estate❞ as estate sale: a press that sells off its spine then wonders why nobody trusts it. When the banner headline is ❝All the news that’s fit to capitulate,❞ the credulity gap isn’t a mystery, it’s the business model. ⤵
Editorial cartoon set on a city sidewalk. On the left, a big yellow sign reads “4th ESTATE SALE,” a pun on “fourth estate” (the press) and “estate sale.” At centre is a shabby wooden newsstand stacked high with newspapers. A bored vendor in a hoodie and red cap leans on the counter, looking at his phone. A sign over the stand mimics the New York Times slogan but says, “ALL THE NEWS THAT’S FIT TO CAPITULATE.” Two newspaper piles on either side are labeled “POST” and “TIMES.” A trash can and street sign sit off to the left. On the right, two pedestrians—an older woman in a coat and boots and a man in a suit—stand facing the stand. The woman says, “Oh… I think we’ve found the source of the CREDULITY GAP.” The cartoon implies that mainstream newspapers have sold out or gone soft, helping create a public “credulity gap” where people are too willing to believe untrustworthy news.

⚡ A federal judge has dealt a major blow to Trump’s handpicked prosecutor, tossing the criminal cases against James Comey and Letitia James and likely ending the Comey prosecution for good.
U.S. District Judge Cameron McGowan Currie has thrown out Trump-driven criminal cases against former FBI director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James, after ruling that interim U.S. attorney Lindsey Halligan was unlawfully appointed. The move undercuts Trump’s effort to weaponize the Justice Department against political rivals, likely closing the door on any new case against Comey while leaving prosecutors a narrow path to try again against James. ❝All actions flowing from Ms. Halligan’s defective appointment … must be set aside.❞ U.S. District Judge Cameron McGowan Currie, written opinion in the Comey case ❝There is simply ❛no alternative course to cure the unconstitutional problem.❜❞ U.S. District Judge Cameron McGowan Currie, written opinion
