The American profession of arms has been and is clear on the question of whether an active-duty officer may use the authority and symbolism of the nation’s military uniform to advocate for a partisan political outcome.

Trump on Greenland: "That's what hurt my relationship with NATO because Greenland doesn't help Denmark. Denmark doesn't really spend money to help Greenland. But it is an important part for the United State…That should be controlled by the U.S., not Denmark."

Trump at the NATO summit: "I was very disappointed with NATO. Frankly, if it weren't held in Turkey, where my friend happens to be a very strong leader, a very strong person, it's possible that I wouldn't have attended."

"Rob Sand's got a good thing going. What he's got working against him, however, are two giant factors: a state that dislikes his party, and a party that’s charging in the opposite direction from him."

"The Fourth of July was more than an American holiday. It had become a demonstration that democratic nations stand together—that liberty, once secured, is worth defending even beyond one’s own borders."

"Death panels" are back—only this time, it’s not coming from the Democrats. It’s coming from Donald Trump and his top health care advisers.

The layman's TLDR here - but read the whole thing anyway - is that the people making crucial decisions about American security really do not understand how any of this works.

"Kicking Platner to the curb might feel like unilateral disarmament. Or it might feel like the only option for a party that still cares about things like truth, decency, and morality."

.@SarahLongwell25 calls for Graham Platner to drop out: "I want to win. I want Democrats to win the Senate and to win the House…Platner is in an incredibly weak position to do that now, and I think as a moral matter, when someone is accused of rape, that's game over."
