JAGs fired by Trump & Kegsbreath have issued a statement, posted on Just Security. Here’s a quote from it, courtesy of Cheryl Rofer: ‘We also advise our fellow citizens that orders like those described above are the kinds of “patently illegal orders” all military members have a duty to disobey.

Exactly what I said on FB yesterday. www.facebook.com/share/p/1AJ2...

This is insane by any measure.

If true, the s***’s really going to hit the fan soon.

Historical precedent of note...

In the 1970s, factory robots hammered blue‑collar jobs and made cars cheaper for professionals. Many white‑collar folks shrugged. Now AI threatens office work, making services cheaper for blue‑collar consumers. Same movie, different cast. Fairness means seeing both sides.

This dude was vetted six ways from Sunday. Can’t say he wasn’t vetted enough. Vetted by multiple administrations.

I’m beyond tired that the leader of my country is an absolute piece of shit. apnews.com/article/trum...

Just what we need, AI ‘used in elections, policing, and federal agencies.’ What could possibly go wrong?

If just one speaks out they would likely lose their job, become the main character for a week... ridiculously, it would be a life-altering decision (Like half of them are shills anyhow but everyone else should quit imo, it's uniformly degrading every day, a farce)

Or you could just stop using Twitter because it’s a racist website owned by a racist

I know this is like ten years too late, and America blew it. But please do this before Farage gets into power, and the US and UK are both firmly on the side of Putin.

Well this ought to be the object of Trumpian demagoguery in 3… 2… 1….

Excellent news.

My aunt who famously can’t cook tried to make a pumpkin pie. She didn’t know what cloves were, so she put garlic cloves in it. Whole.

It doesn’t get more blunt than that.

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends. We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over. We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

Yes, a lede for the ages.

Trump and his regime must perish for liberal democracy to survive. There is no way around this. The rot emanating from him and his people is a stronger challenge for the free world than all external enemies.

How dumb are these people? Truly. This coming on the heels of the magistrate judge in Comey’s case skewering Halligan & the FBI for illegal and improper handling of the investigation and indictment.

Of all the terrible things Roberts has done, this was the most shocking stat: "the right-wing majority has used the shadow docket to uphold Trump’s actions roughly 90 percent of the time, repeatedly bailing him out of any obligation to follow the law"

I find it far more likely, based on past practices, that: 1. They vote for release; 2. DOJ then says they can’t release due to recently announced investigations of Democrats; 3. They maintain that fiction straight through the next elections.

Hard to understand how she could still have a law license after soliciting and receiving a $25,000 "campaign contribution" from someone her office was investigating, and subsequently calling off the investigation. www.cnn.com/2016/06/10/p...

Who are the 8? Millions of us have a stake in this & the Judases need to hear from us NOW.

Do you suppose he’d settle for having my toilet renamed for him? Just a thought…

Regular reminder that Axios stories saying Dems are about to cave are likely sourced from GOP staffers trying to make it happen. Doesn't mean it definitely won't happen. But it's like those NYT stories that Harvard is considering caving (they haven't). The anonymous source was trying to manifest it.

Love this Pelosi anecdote via @semafor.com www.semafor.com/newsletter/1...

what are we doing here?

Let this sink in. The President of the United States is now appealing a court order forcing him to feed starving children.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Read this thread. This is what @katmabu.bsky.social was protesting, and why she repeatedly says getting beaten up by ICE outside is nothing compared to the torture and crimes being committed inside Broadview. These thugs must be held to account.

Did you hear?? Donald Trump solved the affordability crisis, and he doesn't want to hear about it anymore from you whiners. Don't listen to us. Take his word for it. Who are you gonna believe? Him or your lyin' grocery bills and bank statements?

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

Well, this is pretty extreme…

"Do you know who my führer is?"

This is begging to shared everywhere (things being what they are).

…

Periodic reminder that this scheming half-wit Goebbels isn’t even a lawyer.

Stephen Miller on Fox threatens to arrest JB Pritzker for "seditious conspiracy" and says, "to all ICE officers: you have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties. And anybody who lays a hand on you or tries to stop or obstruct you is committing a felony."

I still say anyone who wants to defend a Confederate statute should be forced to read the original dedication speeches to tell us all what “heritage” they’re celebrating. Here’s one from my college: 1619education.org/sites/defaul...

This is a great, must-read analysis. Careful, methodical work by Charlie savage.

Everyone with friends or family in the armed forces should be in close, continual contact with them. It is crucial that members of the military not lose sight of a world beyond Trump’s relentless myth making.

Utter nonsense. Every American should read the Mueller Report: Mueller report - Wikipedia share.google/fWIv0SoiqkFL...

Additional translation: ‘Let us rob millions of Americans of their health insurance, pretend Trump has line item veto power over program funding & remove ACA coverage from legal immigrants, or the whole country gets it.’

WELL HOW ABOUT THAT "A millionaire levy in Massachusetts has generated $3 billion more in revenue than expected without forcing significant high-profile departures from the state." www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Yep. When a party votes 66 times (!) to repeal the ACA but still has no plan to replace it when they do have the votes to enact one, guess what—their alternative is nothing. GOP to the public: Be rich or die in the gutter.

Rick Scott was CEO of a company forced to settle what the DOJ called “the largest healthcare fraud case in history.” Is that the expertise that’s driving your “plan.” www.justice.gov/archive/opa/...

Yes, brilliant idea, since anyone with an ounce of sense knows that US healthcare is completely f***ed up precisely because it’s market-based. And as noted by others, Rick Scott, unconvicted former CEO of the firm convicted of the biggest Medicare fraud in history, is just the guy for the job.
