Again, every elected Democrat needs to put out a video stating exactly what Kelly and the others said. If ever there were a line to draw in the sand, it’s here. The military is not the president’s Praetorian Guard.

"If this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable, it won’t work," Kelly has responded. "I’ve given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies who care more about their own power than protecting the Constitution."
"As of this writing, Kelly has yet to officially respond to the DoD’s decision to open an investigation into his conduct. However, Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) responded on X with a short five-word post that read, 'Fuck you and your investigation.'" www.commondreams.org/news/trump-d...

In every way, Trump demands fealty to himself—and to his whims, wholly untethered to law—over fealty to federal officials’ oaths of office. So again: Are you effing kidding me? What Dems did here was patriotic. They forced the debate we need over Trump's lawlessness.

This is very moving. Messages to a Pennsylvania congresswoman and former Air Force officer who is among the six Democrats being attacked by Trump and his henchmen for telling troops they should not obey illegal orders.
Fear is contagious, but so is courage. I remain steadfast in my oath to the Constitution and am grateful to those across the nation who stand with us. Don't give up the ship.

Every Democrat in Congress should put out a video saying troops have an obligation to refuse unlawful orders. Make them prosecute all of you. This isn't a close call.
I'd add Republicans too if I thought any of them had the courage to actually cross Trump on this.

1. I do not think this is going to go well for them, because it is going to be just as clown shoes as everything they've tried to throw at Comey or James
2. "we can go after ex-military congressmembers for things they say in public" is really not a pandora's box the GOP wants opened

Never does end well, least of all for the hundreds of thousands killed for NOTHING.

Really looks like the United States is about to launch a regime change war against Venezuela with:
-No casus belli
-No authorization from Congress
-No allies or international support
-No plan for a post-Maduro Venezuela
-No preparation for any sort of stabilization or containment of the fallout
