Now that it's been confirmed that the military will carry out illegal orders from the felon, has anyone else wondered what his next illegal order to the military will be? Has anyone else wondered if this was a test that the felon gave the military to see if they would act?

Not saying the people running State are foreign agents but also if you were a foreign agent running State this does feel like the kind of thing you’d do.
Context for Trump withdrawing dozens of ambassadors
*China has invested heavily in expanding diplomacy
*The US has significantly degraded soft power
*The US already has scores of diplomatic vacancies

I've now watched the censored 60 Minutes report on CECOT. If you watched it too—and if you have any decency at all—I'm sure you came to the same conclusion I did: winning elections won't be enough; people like Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem will need to be charged and imprisoned.

Excellent 🧵 on how to transmit the truth under authoritarian rule. Good reason not to turn your back on the rest of the world, America: they have lessons for us.
With the 60 minutes leak, the many recent Epstein releases, etc., I think we are seeing the future of government accountability under authoritarianism:
Leaks, hacks, data dumps, releases of big document caches.
Journalists and the public will have to learn how to digest this stuff. 🧵
