The military absolutely must obey lawful court orders and refuse to execute illegal commands. Repeating this norm and reminding the public about this core value is essential. Hope that helps.

I can help with this. The military doesn’t and will continue not to obey court orders. Hope this helps.

I wonder if judges may well be more receptive to enjoining the unnecessary deployment of National Guard because anyone allowed to use the military to police civilians will almost certainly find the judiciary as a target eventually.

This is good, from Hakeem Jeffries. More of this please, in every conceivable forum:

"Sycophants who aid and abet the President’s vengeful schemes will not be able to hide from the serious legal consequences of their behavior. They will be held accountable."

Isn’t there reporting that it’s Miller? Or am I not remembering correctly?

egg price watcher @bluser12.bsky.social · 2h

Miller is public enemy number 1. Holding him accountable for his many heinous crimes should be the Democrats’ top priority no matter what and how long it takes.

In many ways the mania felt much bigger then than it does now. Felt like the stock market was all people were talking about.

The thing with “if everyone is saying it’s a bubble, is it really a bubble” is that we just went through a boom-bust cycle in 2020-21 where “this is a bubble” during the boom was a very common take

I think this is true but I do think worth noting that Israeli public opinion moved a lot more towards wanting the war to end over the last year. American leadership matters but Israel does in fact have its own politics and autonomy. bsky.app/profile/exum...

This week has confirmed my suspicion that Biden’s Middle East policies will look worse, and will be even more embarrassing for Democrats, with the passage of time.

Again, this wasn’t the first time he’s done it either! He’s posted messages on main that were clearly supposed to be private.

Another thing: what sorts of other things are being discussed via Truth Social DMs? How sensitive are they? I’m guessing Truth Social doesn’t have the best security.
