Senator Kelly is correct. Plus this Public Service Announcement: The KEY section of the Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1. The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

Mark Kelly on the Trump/Hegseth boat strikes: "If orders are illegal, not only do they not have to follow them, they are legally required not to follow them."



Whenever I catch @MSNOWNews on weekends I’m very impressed by @AliVelshi & @AlexWitt, who each solo-anchor from 10 to 4. Both really first-rate.

I take Wikipedia for granted. But reading this interview with @jimmy_wales reminded me what a remarkable and important creation it is. A true pillar of civilization. And costs only $200 million a year. Requires our support. I’m finally donating. Gift link: nytimes.com/2025/10/18/mag…

The great Stoppard is gone. What a life. And a hero of mine, whom I got to interview when his trilogy The Coast of Utopia was on Broadway. wnyc.org/story/106931-t…

A sign of Trump’s lame-duck withering when a powerful senior Republican Senator at the beginning of a term makes a move to rein in the mad commander-in-chief and his flying monkey Hegseth.

News, a very big deal: Senate Armed Services Committee Chair Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) issues statement w/ top SASC Dem Jack Reed vowing “vigorous oversight” of Hegseth’s “kill them all” order — after Hegseth dismissed WaPo story earlier as “fake news.”

I’m not a devotee of fantasy and myth and tales of netherworlds. Which makes me all the more surprised that I found this essay by Katherine Dee/Katya Ungerman/@default_friend so illuminating, gratifying and, we’ll see, possibly useful. Gift link: nytimes.com/2025/11/28/opi…
