  1. The worst lie Donald Trump ever told was when he promised to faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States. #OathOfOffice

  2. Whether I agreed with them or not, each of them tried to uphold the oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. That commitment matters.

  4. (Posting in my personal capacity.)
    Eight years ago today I was reporting live from #CapitolHill to #VoiceofAmerica’s International audiences. Today, as I watch the super #snowstorm hit the DMV region, I reflect on how it’s been almost a year since my (and most of my colleagues’) right to report the news accurately and fairly (in line with #VOA’s mission) has been “frozen.” My commitment to a #FreePress and #OathofOffice however, remains as strong as ever. 👉 savevoa.com/contact.html #savevoa

  5. “We investigate when it’s appropriate to investigate & that is not the case here, it wasn’t the case when it happened, & it’s not the case today,” #ToddBlanche insisted. “If circumstances change, & there’s something that we do need to investigate around that shooting or any other shooting, we will,” he said, adding, “but we are not going to bow to pressure from the media, bow to pressure from politicians.”

    [what about pressure from the people?]

  6. “We don’t just go out & investigate every time an officer is forced to 'defend himself' against somebody or putting his life in danger,” #ToddBlanche, formerly Trump’s personal atty, said. The #Trump admin began asserting immediately after the killing that #RenéeGood was a “rioter” who committed an “act of domestic terrorism,” continuing a long pattern of responding to deadly tragedies by making baseless & false claims.

  7. Hegseth orders Navy to review Sen. Kelly for 'potentially unlawful conduct'

  8. TIL…

    In 2018, Central Bucks County (PA) School Board president Karen Smith swore in on a pile of banned books:

    Night by Elie Weisel

    Lily & Duncan by Donna Gephart

    The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison

    Flamer by Mike Curato

    All Boys Aren’t Blue by George M. Johnson

    I wonder how the discussions about what "uphold and defend the Constitution" means in practice are going among US military officers.

    It's probably obvious to them that such conversations would be monitored if conducted online.

    Which fits with the apparent absence of such conversations between military on Mastodon at least.

  10. Chaos / בָּלָגָן Pronounced: bah-lah-GAN
    Balagan, which means #disorder or #chaos refers to an overwhelming situation, what we might refer to in English as a circus. #politics #government #congress #GOP #house #senate #federalgovernment #regulations #democracy #ethics #oathofoffice

  11. #HouseRepublicans think nothing of abandoning their #oathOfOffice in service to their 34x #felon. It's not #Congress' job to "retaliate" against the #DepartmentOfJustice because members from one political party are angry that #FeloniousTrump was tried and convicted by a jury of his peers in a state court. But that's exactly what they're prepared to misappropriate public funds for.

  12. “I, Donald John Trump, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
    ~ Donald J. Trump

    President Trump “honored” his oath of office just as he did his marriage vows to Melania. And Marla. And Ivana. He’s definitely been consistent.

  13. @PDFlynn Leonard Leo's SCOTUS-majority-six may certainly deserve thorough scrutiny & investigation after a bunch of decisions undermining the authority & ability to act of the United States government, especially pertaining to vital issues like climate change, environmental protection, SCOTUS majority's decisions, that are spreading the stench of corruption.

    "You’re not going to convince Alito that women are people; you’re not going to convince Thomas that being loved by white people is a pathetic life goal; you’re not going to convince Neil Gorsuch that the 20th century happened. If you are part of the conservative-industrial complex, you don’t have to convince these people of anything; they’re already on your side. All you have to do is convince the conservative justices to be the worst versions of themselves."

  14. @shawnwegner "Republicans" & "Russia" all begin with an "R" - without implying any grandness.
    No wonder Putin wanted a "Republican" in Oval Office - the group of least resistance to his strategy of weakening the United States, & the least committed to American democracy & civil liberties.

    Remember the meaningful words "Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort."

    How committed is today's "GOP" to not adhering to enemies of the United States & to not giving those enemies aid & comfort?

  15. @froomkin looks like he lied (again)

    [I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and ...]
