The military has a duty to refuse unlawful orders, but Congress has a duty to remove from office a president and secretary who would issue such orders. There is something off about members of Congress talking about the former while refusing to say the latter, the part that's actually their job here.

Always Remember: The President serves at the pleasure of Congress and not the other way around. It is the most powerful branch and if the federal government sucks, it’s the fault of the Congress and all the members in there.

I obviously never want that to happen. But no one in human history has had more obvious warning signs, more people begging them to save themselves, and more flagrant and explicit threats of what is being planned from someone who serves at their pleasure.
It is embarrassing.

They can do whatever they want if Congress chooses not to act. It’s flagrantly illegal but at some point the people in the legislative branch need to have some ambition.
Not a single senator has called for Trump to be removed and only 79 House members even wanted to DEBATE impeachment articles.

There are also ridiculous leaps of logic in there around the Turing Test and equating "intelligence" (not defined) with "consciousness".

The High Cost of Targeting International Students in Texas
The Trump administration’s bans and airport detentions are derailing the academic dreams of students who carry out important research—and sometimes pay hefty tuition—to attend Texas institutions.

I can’t believe these idiots are willing to just let Trump do this stuff for three more years (at least).
Seriously what the fuck is wrong with them?

This argument stinks to high heaven. Disobey the commander in chief who we aren’t necessarily saying is giving illegal orders but we also believe is a legitimate president who should serve out his full term.

They didn’t give away anything. They have all the power. They, like the democrats, are just refusing to use it.
The crazy thing is Republican members of Congress gave away their power and now they’re mad that they gave away their power. Like Trump didn’t do this to you, you did it to yourselves

“And that’s why I will…”
Threatening a U.S. Senator because you don’t like what he said is never acceptable—especially when all he said is that troops should follow the law.
I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.
If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

On rare occasions something like the poop jet video or Trump Tower Gaza will get picked up a bit, but it's... a choice... to mostly treat it as not even newsworthy that his "Truth" feed is now a constant flood of full-blown manic psychosis.

She has it exactly backwards. The domestic deployments to date are a much weaker case for being so manifestly illegal as to justify refusal; that's a high bar. The boat strikes are outright unambiguous murder, everyone in that chain down to the one pulling the trigger has had a clear duty to refuse.
Sen. Slotkin said today—to my surprise—that she's unaware of any illegal orders *so far*.

Utterly ludicrous framing from @nytimes.com here, treating Pete Hegseth's arguments as if they're legitimate. The casual reader will be left with no inkling whatsoever of how unusual and corrupt an abuse of the process this truly is:
