"When senior leaders disparage legal oversight, sideline JAG officers, impede the ability of the press to report, or treat accountability as the enemy, they do more than risk unlawful action. They weaken the moral foundation that makes our military credible in the eyes of the American people...
@markhertling.bsky.social warns the gravest threat to the U.S. military is the erosion of the values that keep our forces lawful and legitimate. He implores Congress to investigate whether unlawful orders were issued in the Caribbean, and hold every official to account.

NEW: Another purge of immigration judges just happened, this time in New York City. This latest purge includes one of the smartest people I know, an immigration judge who dutifully served on the bench for 10 years. She was unceremoniously fired in violation of civil service laws.

One of the reasons servicemembers, from admirals and generals to the greenest private, should know “don’t follow illegal orders” is that this administration is a goulash of dishonorable character flaws like cowardice and dishonesty. There is no bus under which these pissants will not throw you.

Aaaaaand…this is exactly why the six lawmakers needed to remind servicemembers about not obeying unlawful orders (this will get driven home when Hegseth gets a pardon but no one else does)
