Senator Kelly’s remarks in the video are “a 100% accurate representation of what the law says."

“No American citizen should have to deal with this type of preposterous investigation.”

- Professor Eugene Fidell, leading military justice expert in Wall Street Journal

Targeting Kelly is one of those “this is why we’ll win” moments, bc it shows how politically impetuous this admin is.

There’s clearly no adult in the room to say “wait, maybe don’t go after the charismatic war hero turned literal astronaut who ran after his wife was a victim of political violence.”
Mark Kelly: "My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head. Six people killed around her, a horrific thing. She spent six months in the hospital. We know what political violence is and we know what causes it too, The statements that Donald Trump made incites others."

No the Democrats in this video aren't "implying" anything. Members of the armed forces ARE required to refuse illegal orders. This is simple. Not controversial at all. And it's super revealing that MAGA is so worried that troops won't carry out an illegal order from Trump.

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

It’s widely known (and, I think, pretty uncontroversial) that learning requires effort — specifically, if you don’t have to work at getting the knowledge, it won’t stick.

Even if an LLM could be trusted to give you correct information 100% of the time, it would be an inferior method of learning it.
Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

Gratitude for a plan that benefits Russia and certainly not Ukraine or broader Europe?
President Trump publicly accuses Ukraine’s leaders of showing “zero gratitude” for U.S. support in Ukraine-Russia peace talks, just as U.S. officials in Geneva are working to show a united front.

Watching Vance dance for Putin really inspires a lot of the same thoughts I have about Trump's obeyance to Putin:

Get bribed to do the evil you love, and you'll never work a day in your life.
It's unclear how many times Marco Rubio can do this--hastily convene all of Europe to present a counteroffer that Russia will inevitably refuse, only to have the Russians throw a few more bribes onto the funeral pyre of the Western order and with those bribes rope in a few more venal Trump flunkies.

No, Biden was not "like" Trump in a y way shape or form, Senator Slotkin, including and especially in his prudent and effective economic policies, which Trump has upended.
Slotkin: "He's trying to distract us from the big stories of last week, the Epstein files and economy. He's tweeting 'the economy is the best it's ever been' -- amazing considering the public isn't stupid. It reminded me of Joe Biden. Biden tried to tell us for a year that the economy was great."

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.

It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management.
