Absolutely jaw-dropping article about the takeover of the USIP. Weaponizing the security guard company by threatening to shred their contract. The security guard locking the building down with the invading guards inside. The DC police siding with the takeover? www.wsj.com/politics/mic...

If anything, courts should give less deference to national security claims than other state interests because it’s such a vital area ripe for abuse it needs to be checked.

Weird how they don't ALLOW the sailors on the USS Lincoln to interviews. Maybe service members should be allowed to have their 1st amendment rights.

The soldiers were sitting outside a Popeye’s on H St when an argument started about whether the soldiers’ hairstyles followed Army regulations. One witness said that Mitchell told the soldier he was arguing with that he would “slap the Jackson 5 out of you.” www.cnn.com/2026/09/08/p...

Bruh imagine being sentenced by a judge who is applying for a job with the administration, when the president said publicly twice that you should get the death penalty and the judge threw out the case for it being unlawful command influence and used that writing sample for the job!

The West Point grit study is so funny to me because you're telling me the most predictive characteristic for graduation at the "put up with a lot of bs" academy is willingness to put up with a lot of bs? I'm shocked. But is this characteristic what we want to be selecting based on?

The thing that really gets me, is that not only are they not resigning, they won't even speak about what happened to the public after they're fired! I think that shows a much deeper rot. How is the public supposed to exercise civilian control if they have no information?

And these limitations would not hold up for any other catagory of person (including prisoners!) but judges just say "oh the military is different" depriving them of any due process IMO

Things like this show why soldiers 1A rights should be protected by the courts. This midshipman like many other service members have had family members sent to concentration camps and they're not allowed to speak about it. The public needs to know what's going on to exercise civ control.
