Must the military disobey unlawful orders? Pam Bondi has said yes.
As a lawyer for a conservative think tank, Bondi filed a Supreme Court brief last year saying service members who followed such orders were committing crimes.
"Military officers are required not to carry out unlawful orders."

Trump and Hegseth have been committing murder on the high seas. They must be held accountable. The Medina family and all others devastated by these lawless #boatkillings deserve justice.

We are not at war with Venezuela, yet. The boats are civilian craft. The U.S. criminal code does not maintain a death penalty for drug smuggling. Due process is required before conviction or sentence.
All of the 80 people killed thus far are wanton murders slain under illegal orders. All of them.

Yesterday, it was reported the Coast Guard would no longer classify symbols such as swastikas or nooses as hate symbols. Today, the Coast Guard has again classified swastikas & nooses as hate symbols. It looks like Trump TACO disease is spreading. Perhaps a vaccine would help.

Trump's approval ratings are tanking.
He's flailing on the economy.
He backtracked on the Epstein files and lost control of the GOP.
His plot to steal the 2026 midterms is faltering.
Do not let him gaslight you into believing he is all powerful.

Threats against lawmakers are not speech; they are coercion designed to freeze the functioning of government. If Congress can’t advise the military without fear of execution, then checks and balances are dead. The House and Senate must formally censure this attack. Call your representative now.

Alan Dershowitz is one of those claiming Epstein was not a pedophile because he pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. "That’s not a pedophile." See this important response from Julia Brown, the brave reporter who broke the news on this

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Where are all those rightwingers yelling "you can't tear that down, it's history!" They protect statues which say "white supremacy" explicitly on their bases, but not the East Wing of the People's House. Just to replace it with a gaudy banquet hall.
