Guardsmen: Your oath is to the Constitution, not to a wanna-be king. If federalized you too can follow the law.

Illinois Guardsmen Capt. Dylan Blaha and Staff Sgt. Demi Palecek said this isn’t what they signed up for—and they’ll defy any order sending them after Chicago residents. “I’m not gonna go against my community members, my family, my culture, my neighbors,” Palecek said.

Exactly! That’s what I’m loving about the Portland and Home Depot peaceful protests. We did it in the ‘60s, we can do it again. Fire hoses, dogs, billy clubs. Spit on, terrorized. Every monumental piece of legislation came from peaceful, but unbuckling or apologetic, peaceful protests ✊🏾

I prosecuted international drug trafficking organizations for the Justice Department. In fact, for years one of my cases was listed as the #1 noted case on DOJ's Special Operations Division website.
But killing people with no trial or due process is wrong. It is cruel and degrades America.

Pete Hegseth is a straight-up serial killer
No asterisk, no caveat, he simply orchestrated—multiple times on multiple dates—a criminal conspiracy to murder unarmed persons who the U.S. military code deemed incapacitated and not a threat and then went online and admitted to doing it knowingly

MAJOR: The Trump Administration has been caught lying about the D.C. shooting suspect.
The truth: He was vetted by Trump. He had a CIA badge, worked with the CIA in Afghanistan, and granted asylum by Trump in April.

I guess it’s a good thing we were so concerned about the right to speak our opinions being outlawed by a ruling class that we guaranteed it by making it the very first amendment in our Bill of Rights when we formed the country.

A sad irony in Washington, D.C., where West Virginia National Guardsmen were shot today. Six days ago, a court ruled their deployment was illegal, but stayed the order pending appeal. My heart goes out to these public servants and their families. oag.dc.gov/sites/defaul...

@weissmann.substack.com explains to @timmiller.bsky.social why James Comey’s vindictive prosecution case against Trump may never get fully litigated unless the charges are revived—and why Letitia James could ultimately have the strongest argument on that front.

SEN. KELLY : “They informed me of this in a tweet because this is not about the law. This is about the media cycle, and intimidation… We basically repeated the uniform code of military justice, and they're saying that's in violation of it. It's absurd. Comical.”
