In 2016, then-Fox News contributor Pete Hegseth strongly asserted that U.S. military personnel had a duty to refuse unlawful orders, specifically those that could potentially come from then-candidate Donald Trump. He emphasized that the military would not follow illegal directives, a stance rooted in the understanding that service members could face criminal consequences for executing such commands. However, as Trump’s Secretary of Defense, Hegseth has recently shifted his position, criticizing Democrats for raising similar concerns about unlawful orders. These earlier comments have resurfaced amidst his current criticism of Democrats for encouraging troops to reject illegal orders, a message he now claims undermines the chain of command.

That’s what we get paid for: Ukraine’s spy chief confirms ability to eavesdrop on Kremlin’s inner circle. This confirmation isn’t just about technical prowess; it’s a stark reminder of how war fundamentally alters everything. Every casual conversation, every private chat, suddenly transforms into a potential intelligence goldmine.

The fact that the spy chief would even acknowledge this is intriguing. You’d imagine most Ukrainians would want to do this, regardless of any compensation.… Continue reading

President Trump, who has accused political opponents of mortgage fraud for claiming multiple primary residences, appears to have done the same himself.

Contemporaneous reports and his real estate agent confirm the properties were rentals, a situation his administration has deemed fraudulent. Legal experts noted the irony, highlighting how Trump’s actions mirror those he has condemned, potentially exceeding the low bar his administration has set for mortgage fraud.

The Supreme Court is set to hear the case of Trump v. Slaughter, which concerns President Trump’s request to fire independent agency officials at will, potentially dismantling the precedent set by Humphrey’s Executor. This case, driven by the “unitary executive theory,” aims to consolidate presidential power by removing protections for officials in agencies like the FTC and the Federal Reserve, impacting areas such as economic regulation and consumer safety. The outcome is expected to favor Trump, allowing the president more control and challenging the historical understanding of independent agencies. However, the court may make an exception for the Federal Reserve. This move is part of a larger conservative legal movement’s efforts to limit the power of agencies and reshape the balance of power.
