The showdown between Texas National Guard and the CBP + Supreme Court is a good time to repost this 2021 editorial by 3 retired US generals: "The military must prepare now for a 2024 insurrection".

          Ooh, I wasn’t thinking. Thanks! I see somebody else posted an archive link already, so I deleted my comment and will try to be more mindful in the future.

      Not paying for journalism means receiving only news that someone has a reason to invest money into causing you to consume.

        Not a bad point. I’m not sure that paying them means they’re not beholden to larger interests as well, though.

    A group of 124 retired military officials, under the name “Flag Officers 4 America,” released a letter echoing Donald Trump’s false attacks on the legitimacy of our elections.

    Mancino claimed that while the Oklahoma Guard is not federally mobilized, his commander in chief is the Republican governor of the state, not the president.

    Trump’s acting defense secretary, Christopher C. Miller, testified that he deliberately withheld military protection of the Capitol before Jan. 6.

    Army Gen. Mark A. Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, reportedly scrambled to ensure the nation’s nuclear defense chains were secure from illegal orders.

    Our elected officials and those who enforce the law — including the Justice Department, the House select committee and the whole of Congress — must show more urgency.

    Finally, the Defense Department should war-game the next potential post-election insurrection or coup attempt to identify weak spots.
