Every Democrat in Congress should put out a video saying troops have an obligation to refuse unlawful orders. Make them prosecute all of you. This isn't a close call. I'd add Republicans too if I thought any of them had the courage to actually cross Trump on this.

Elon Musk donated $277 million to Trump so he could steal the federal government’s data, dismantle the nation’s infrastructure, and stop foreign aid from going to nonwhite people. It’s a quid pro quo breathtaking in scope, corruption, and damage, & completely unprecedented in American history.

Trust Rep. Felix Barry Moore will be consistent in ‘denouncing socialism in all its forms, and opposing the implementation of socialist policies in the US’ as he campaigns for US Senator across Alabama. Thus, he’ll be cussing TVA and other publicly-owned utilities, libraries, farmer co-ops, etc.
