Members of the military have a duty to obey lawful orders but must not obey patently unlawful orders. Given the administration's unlawful, deadly strikes in international waters, our troops are being put in difficult and dangerous circumstances by Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth. The National Institute of Military Justice has create The Orders Project to provide real-time, informed advice for military members who are trying to lawfully navigate the difficult situation in which they are being put. I spoke with Treb Courie, Legal Director for The Orders Project, about the services available to our military members.

Ramble On: Waiting for the Barbarians (video) Morning thoughts on exfiltrations, the gutting of the FDA, tomorrow's protests, and how to quiet the brain by visiting Alexandria Greg Olear Apr 4 Good morning! Here is today’s ramble: And here is the transcript, edited for clarity: Good morning. It is Friday, April 4th, 6:17 a.m. We’ve made it. Those of us who have made it have made it through another batshit crazy week, courtesy of Trump and Musk and Vance and this entire cockamamie administration.

One of them I wrote about on Monday, or Tuesday rather, in  the April Fool’s piece , which is that the ICE Ge...

POLITICO Nightly: Tesla’s Elon Musk problem

  By  Charlie Mahtesian  and  Calder McHugh Presented by  Elon Musk speaks during a cabinet meeting at the White House today. | Al Drago/Bloomberg BEAR MARKET  — You wouldn’t know it from the frenetic, high profile he currently cuts in Washington, but tech mogul Elon Musk has  lost more than $100 billion in net worth  since mid-December.

For Musk, the world’s richest man and Tesla’s largest shareholder, those are just paper losses. He owns and runs several other companies — among them SpaceX, Twitter, and artificial intelligence startup xAI — so Tesla’s recent decline is just a flesh wound. But the largely parallel timeline between Tesla’s nosedive and Musk’s rise as something ...
