Monday’s "technicalities" are piling up—the Strait is open, the blockade is on, and the logic is nowhere to be found. Since the headlines are a mess, here is a breakdown of the stuff that actually makes sense (and a few things that definitely don’t). open.substack.com/pub/votevete...

Kash Patel’s colleagues are alarmed by what they say is erratic behavior and excessive drinking, Sarah Fitzpatrick reports. More than two dozen people she spoke with described his management failures and conduct that could harm national security.

In case you weren’t paying close attention, our Republican led Congress passed a law, signed by Trump in December 2025 (the Fiscal Year 2026 National Defense Authorization Act), mandating the U.S. government initiate an automatic military draft registration for eligible men by December 2026…

If you live in Virginia, tomorrow you have a huge opportunity to make it clear to the GOP that if they want to win, it won’t be by changing the rules and redrawing maps. At least, not without a fight. Vote YES on the redistricting vote, and push back!

Jeffries: "Republicans have spent tens of million trying to convince the people of Virginia that President Obama and Gov. Spanberger are urging a 'no' vote. That's a stone cold lie. The 'no' vote position is Donald Trump's position, as is being evidenced tonight. He's been trying to hide it."

New: Republicans weigh how big to go on their next party-line funding bill THUNE & party leaders want a “skinny” bill limited to ICE & Border Patrol funds. Others say go bigger: CRUZ (tax cuts), Kennedy (SAVE Act provisions), Tuberville (Iran war $$). www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

So you and I and everyone else are in effect now refunding American corporations for import tariffs, although we paid for most of them in the form of higher prices — which they won’t now lower because they have monopoly power to keep prices high. The Art of the Deal.

Center on Conscience and War runs a GI hotline.

depends on where we're talking, but JAGs, service & JS lawyers are supposed to be available for this kind of advice. but also remember that some orders don't give enough time to seek advice, so training in law of war is absolutely essential.
