Mark Esper has sent a memo to DOD personnel this week emphasizing the need for them all to stay out of politics. “I ask that you remember at all times our commitment as a department and as public servants to stay apolitical in these turbulent days,” the secretary wrote. — PolitiTweet.org

“We know that we are better than the abuse of executive authority that we witnessed in Lafayette Square,” said former Trump Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, retired four-star general. “We must reject and hold accountable those in office who would make a mockery of our Constitution." — PolitiTweet.org

“We all bear the scars of history, of oppressors and the oppressed,” said Air Force Gen. Joseph Lengyel, the chief of the National Guard. "We cannot tolerate racism, discrimination or casual violence. We cannot abide divisiveness and hate. We cannot stand by and watch.” — PolitiTweet.org

America is a nation of laws – but also norms. It’s a republic that’s thrived because of institutions, but those are ultimately only as strong as the people who lead them. This crisis has put that in especially stark relief. — PolitiTweet.org

The events of the past week have deepened and exposed rifts between those who serve in uniform and their commander in chief, as well as between the police and those they have sworn to protect. They’re also raising questions about the role of the free press in American society. — PolitiTweet.org

The killing of George Floyd in police custody, the protests that followed and the ensuing crackdown have combined to generate a heated national conversation about those values “embedded” in the Constitution and, as Milley puts it, “the idea that is America.” — PolitiTweet.org

Thread: After joining Trump's photo op & patrolling DC streets in combat fatigues, Mark Milley sent a handwritten note to service chiefs: “We all committed our lives to the idea that is America – we will stay true to that oath and the American people.” https://t.co/ECrmf6QdEc — PolitiTweet.org

Trump will sign an executive order today telling agencies to waive environmental reviews for key projects like highways and pipelines, on the grounds that the U.S. is in an "economic emergency." By @eilperin and @JStein_WaPo https://t.co/JiiCTk2eA8 — PolitiTweet.org

America is a nation of laws – but also norms. It’s a republic that’s thrived because of institutions, but those are ultimately only as strong as those who lead them. The laws, the norms, the institutions and their leaders are all under intense strain. https://t.co/ECrmf6QdEc — PolitiTweet.org

Flying choppers low in urban areas presents numerous risks to the pilots, crew, aircraft and people on the ground, factors that are typically considered before flying such a mission. But it does not appear to have been factored in before DC deployments. 🚁 https://t.co/2xYBRXrLMq — PolitiTweet.org

“Misuse of the Red Cross symbol is prohibited even during peacetime by the First Geneva Convention, to which the U.S. is a party,” said Rachel E. VanLandingham, a former Air Force attorney and professor at the Southwestern Law School in Los Angeles. https://t.co/2xYBRXrLMq — PolitiTweet.org

The use of a helicopter’s downward force, aka rotor wash, is a common military tactic to incite fear, disperse crowds and warn of other capabilities, like rockets and guns, said Kyleanne Hunter, a former Marine pilot who flew them in Iraq & Afghanistan. 🚁 https://t.co/2xYBRXrLMq — PolitiTweet.org

Trump and Biden both went to Episcopal churches on Monday, and they each posed for photos. That’s where the similarities stop. And it says a lot about both of them. https://t.co/njPdqXzjEw — PolitiTweet.org
