I’m a past winner of the Orwell Prize & won partly because I exposed Vote Leave’s unlawful activities.

The military has a duty to refuse unlawful orders, but Congress has a duty to remove from office a president and secretary who would issue such orders. There is something off about members of Congress talking about the former while refusing to say the latter, the part that's actually their job here.

It's a lot easier to cover the soap opera of the Trump attacks on Comey & James than the destruction of NASA, the Department of Education, EPA, NOAA, the IRS, etc

NASA is sinking its flagship science center during the government shutdown — and may be breaking the law in the process, critics say
"There is just a general acknowledgement that a lot of what is happening is illegal…"
