now THIS is an unambiguously, obviously illegal order
Hegseth is a cold-blooded murderer. There's no way to dress it up. He's a criminal. And his was precisely the kind of illegal order that those Dem members of Congress urged the military not to follow. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.

They believe that Trump will use the formal powers of the government and whatever informal powers he may have to extract costs from them if they do not play ball and they equally believe that the anti-Trump coalition will not extract these costs.
So we need to extract those costs.

given how unpopular Trump is, it’s insane that civil society/universities/law firms are still asking themselves “how do I stay on Trump’s good side” rather than “how do I avoid facing consequences for complying with Trump’s illegal demands”
New Gallup poll shows Trump's approval hit a new low for his second term:
-36% approve
-60% disapprove
His approval among Republicans went from 91% in January to 84% in November

when it comes to the military, there's a huge difference between clearly illegal orders that must be refused and: bad orders, orders I don't like, orders I think are unethical, orders that seem like they might be illegal, orders that feel like they ought to be illegal in a proper society

another way to put this - to be moderate is to support the status quo, broadly speaking. it's only a winning strategy if the electorate likes the status quo.
"voting for the status quo you dislike is better than voting for the other guys" isn't as compelling a pitch as Dem consultants think it is

I actually think chucking out moderates will make Democrats *more* electable; nobody wants to vote for a party full of losers who don’t believe in anything

OK so:
1. Senate Democrats cave, pass "clean CR"
2. House Republicans amend the bill, pass a "conservative CR", toss it back to the Senate
3. Senate Democrats ???

Millions of farmers, small business owners, and families are seeing their health insurance premiums skyrocket because Trump and Congressional Republicans refuse to come to the table and negotiate with Democrats.

A deal that lets ACA credits expire fails the millions of families counting on us to keep their health care affordable.
Republicans have spent years trying to dismantle the ACA, and pretending Johnson will allow a vote on a clean ACA bill in the House is a fantasy.
I will be a no on this “deal.”

I’ve voted 7 times to reopen the government in a way that holds Trump accountable for his lawlessness and prevents a health care crisis.
I’m prepared to work toward a compromise, but this “deal” before us does not come close to meeting those terms. Voting NO.

they had to write it this way because of headline length limits in social media link cards
without that limitation, I'm sure they would have written something like "US citizen alleged to have been struck from behind by bullet at around the time of an encounter with federal law enforcement agents"
