Just a reminder for all the National Guardsmen - While deployed by Federal order, NGs are subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

Article 92 of the UCMJ makes it a crime to follow illegal orders.

They must expect a lot of people all over the country to be really upset about something next year. I wonder what that could be?

You’ve probably heard but I have been federally indicted by Trump’s DOJ.

We now have to cover the costs of a campaign *and* a legal battle to preserve our First Amendment rights.

from a Jag person. National Guard: If there is an illegal order you do not want to follow, you can refuse and state that you were not trained to do what they are asking you to do.

Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva has now been waiting 36 days to be sworn in to office — setting a new record that any member of Congress has had to wait following a special election.

Also it is objectively unhinged that Mike Johnson has simply chosen to freeze an entire branch of government by refusing to call it into session. He’s the second most powerful person in our government and is treated like he has no obligations or responsibilities.

Mockler: I’m 23 years old, and Gen Zers have spent all of our formative years living in a political system that’s purely dysfunctional. People in my generation see the president posting memes online rather than actually negotiating with the other side.

A long-deranged and deeply depraved man with a pronouncedly and acceleratingly deteriorating mind announces that he intends to play with the large arsenal of nuclear weapons he controls.

But it's okay, because he's not seeking a third term.

What's happening in Ukraine is both tragedy and travesty. If the U.S. withdraws from NATO and it can't step up without our support, it will also be disaster and atrocity. And all of it can be laid at the feet of the traitor, Donald Trump.

Every day, the criminal gangster in the WH shatters norms and practices and ignores the Constitution and laws, while Republicans in Congress join him as co-conspirators. Did any Republican senators speak up about this? Hell no. Cowards all. Vote every one out that you can.

ABC: A shocking video shows an ICE Agent wearing an American flag mask break a woman's car window to arrest her in Addison, Illinois. “Me, as a U.S. citizen, even us are afraid of these guys,” said a local man. “We feel this is something that is not right, not legal."

I agree!
