YouTube video by CBS News Sen. Slotkin asks Hegseth about defying a Trump order if unconstitutional

Since I was a kid, it's always been clear that the US military would never be used against its own people. Now, with the Secretary of Defense confirmation hearing. That might not be true.
Don't believe me? Watch this and tell me what this means.

Read through Fox News articles on the #Hegseth confirmation hearing, and one thing is apparent.

Fox will continue to focus on Dems attacking his "character" and focusing on women in combat.
Yet no mention of Hegseth putting Trump above the Constitution or his inability to name countries in ASEAN 🥴

It's important to note that these positions swear an oath to the US Constitution, not the US president.

⚠️ Spider warning! ⚠️

I can't stop thinking about this Riggs v Griffin race here in #nc. After a canvassing period and 2 recounts, it's clear that Riggs is the winner. Even if she only won by 734 votes, she won.

These 60,000 ballots Griffin wants to throw out are not invalid. They followed the rules. I'm in awe.
