Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.
What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

We’re a full month into ACA Open Enrollment.
Families are scrambling to figure out how they’ll afford to pay double, triple, and even quadruple in premiums.
But Republicans are still uninterested in joining Democrats to stop these disastrous price hikes.

It’s not a great deal if you don’t need it. And especially this year, others really need support. So for all of us who have enough, let’s refuse to get sucked into the holiday shopping frenzy and share instead of shop. We don’t need more stuff, we need communities where all our neighbors are safe.

The Epstein files are important, but not releasing the economic data for October is damning. The economy has completely tanked and the Trump government is refusing to and or incapable of carrying out its basic functions. share.google/e726OJJXXxry...
October jobs report canceled and November release delayed, BLS says
Federal labor market data is a crucial part of understanding the U.S. economy — and one of the pieces the Fed analyzes in considering interest rate moves.

Pam Bondi and Kash Patel told Congress the Epstein inquiry was already completed.
Now, on the eve of a vote to release the Epstein files, it’s suddenly “reopened.”
You don’t need a conspiracy board to see what that means:
Calling it active gives them cover to keep the documents sealed.

These kinds of things happened two decades ago under the last Republican president. A lot of people made a lot of short term money. Then it all came crashing down and his successor had to clean up a huge mess. Here we go again.
