If the Republicans have decided that they want to die on the hill that troops should obey illegal orders and that encouraging them not to is a threat to Trump's defense policy, then I say let them.

The pedophilic wannabe-dictator wants you to be too scared to be willing to stand
In these trying times it's critically important to remember that courage is not the absence of fear
Courage is taking a stand despite the fear
Don't fight it or hide from it, let it pass through you and motivate

They lied about it. All of it. A thug cop shot an unarmed woman five times without justification, boasted about it to his colleagues, and then this administration tried cover it all up by arresting her and charging her with felonies.
Absolutely incredible; after shooting Marimar Martinez 5 times and arresting her on claims that she rammed them and pulled a gun, prosecutors have now moved to dismiss ALL criminal charges against her and her codefendant.
New: the govt has moved to dismiss its assault case against Marimar Martinez and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, two people accused of "box[ing] in" a Border Patrol vehicle in Chicago on Oct. 4.
One agent shot Martinez, with evidence presented to the court that he later bragged about in text messages.

Extraordinary that the Texas government would be so corrupt that it would have to black out more than 80% of its emails with Elon Musk.
NEW: After fighting to keep emails between Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s office and billionaire Elon Musk’s companies secret, officials have released nearly 1,400 pages of documents to The Texas Newsroom.
All but about 200 pages are blacked out.

Since everyone is rightly focused on the Epstein files, now would be a good time to remind you:
Child marriage is legal in 34 states across the US. That’s almost 70% of this nation.
How about we end that?

I know this is pedantic, but Kim Davis was not "jailed for refusing to issue same-sex marriage licenses." She was jailed for contempt of court because she refused to follow a court order (she had stopped issuing all marriage licenses). NYT makes it sound like the Woke Police broke down her door.

There are plenty of concrete good things that will happen because of winning these elections, but the intangible might even be bigger. Trump is going to issue a lot of illegal orders in the coming months and years. Nights like tonight might determine whether those orders get followed.
