The number of ways this is disgraceful behavior from the Secretary of Defense is...a lot.
Service members do have a duty to refuse illegal orders

The only fight I’ve ever witnessed at a show was Wilco at the Capitol Theater in Port Chester, New York. Tweedy was playing “California Stars” and I guess one middle-aged guy said the other middle-aged guy spilled beer on his wife and they threw down. Amazing scenes
You gotta go pick up your uncle, yeah he mixed up his medicines and went crazy yelling about Uncle Tupelo songs again

When he first got the cone on I felt so bad for him and couldn’t wait for it to come off because it broke my heart. Now I’m fed up that he still doesn’t understand the spatial challenges the cone presents and keeps knocking shit over and running into me with it. Can’t be de-coned soon enough

In a speech at her campaign launch today, Stewart said she's running for governor because Connecticut is "too far left." Despite her campaign previously informing reporters she'd be available for interviews, she left after her speech without talking to the press.
“I’m Erin Stewart. I’m running for governor because the clowns in Hartford have run our state into the ground.”
Erin Stewart is kicking off her campaign for CT governor with an on-brand, slightly cheeky video emphasizing her blue-collar roots.

I really sort of thought the president explicitly calling for specific Democrats to be hanged would be a bigger story

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Had tickets to see Jens last week but life happened and I had to go to a funeral instead. Still heartbroken!
Still get chills when Jens Lekman implores his lesbian buddy in Berlin—and all of us—not to let anything stand in our way.
