Democrats sensed their opportunity to cripple Donald Trump’s Presidency.
They’re willing to cross any line to make that happen.
And Democrats launched one hair-raising plot to inspire a military revolt against Trump.
Anti-Trump activists launch billboard campaign telling troops to disobey orders
Two left-wing organizations just launched a coordinated campaign to undermine military command authority by telling American service members they might be receiving “unlawful orders.”
Defiance.org and Whistleblower Aid rolled out billboards in military communities near U.S. Southern Command in Doral, Florida and U.S. Special Operations Command in Tampa, Florida that read “Obey Only Lawful Orders.”
The groups are flooding military bases with online messages providing links to organizations offering “confidential advice” to troops who think their orders might be illegal.
Miles Taylor — the disgraced former Department of Homeland Security official who wrote an anonymous op-ed attacking Trump during his first term — founded Defiance.org and is leading this effort.
This is the new Russia collusion hoax for Trump’s second term.
This is a coordinated campaign between Democrat politicians, left-wing activist groups, and their media allies to sabotage Trump’s presidency.
The “Seditious Six” couldn’t name a single illegal order
U.S. Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona appeared in a video with five other Democrat lawmakers telling service members to “refuse illegal orders.”
President Trump called the lawmakers’ actions “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH.”¹
Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell slammed the billboard campaign and the Democrats’ video. “President Trump and Secretary Hegseth have never given an unlawful order,” Parnell stated. “Those who continue to encourage seditious behavior are scum and should be ashamed of themselves.”¹
Here’s what makes this so dangerous: none of the six Democrats could name a single specific illegal order.
Not one.
Kelly and his colleagues — Michigan Senator Elissa Slotkin, Representatives Jason Crow of Colorado, Maggie Goodlander of New Hampshire, Chris Deluzio and Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania — warned about “threats to our Constitution” coming “from right here at home.”²
They told troops repeatedly to “refuse illegal orders” without citing any examples.
The implication is clear: Trump is an illegitimate president, therefore every order he gives is illegal, so the military should flat-out rebel against the Commander-in-Chief.
This is Democrats subverting the very concept of law and order.
The Pentagon is now conducting a formal investigation of Kelly — who retired from the Navy as a Captain — for “serious allegations of misconduct” and could recall him to active duty for court-martial.³
Democrats are building their 2026 midterm impeachment playbook
This isn’t about protecting troops from illegal orders.
This is about stopping Trump’s war on drug cartels — and setting up the impeachment case Democrats will use if they win the House in 2026.
Trump designated groups like Tren de Aragua and the Sinaloa Cartel as Foreign Terrorist Organizations in September, giving the military expanded authority to strike vessels smuggling drugs.
Trump argues these cartels are narcoterrorists engaged in armed conflict with the United States because their fentanyl killed 107,000 Americans last year.
Democrats attacked these operations relentlessly.
They leaked to CNN that the military deliberately killed survivors during a September 2 strike.⁴
They highlighted that the senior military lawyer for U.S. Southern Command objected to the strikes before being overruled.⁵
Now they’re telling troops the orders might be illegal and offering them “confidential advice” from Democrat-aligned organizations.
The playbook is transparent: claim Trump’s orders are illegal, tell troops to disobey, demand investigations, then use those investigations as grounds to impeach Trump and Hegseth after the midterms.
The billboard campaign targets military communities near the commands running these operations.
That’s not coincidence. That’s coordination.
This is Russia collusion hoax 2.0
Democrats spent Trump’s first term claiming he was a Russian agent based on a fake dossier paid for by Hillary Clinton.
They impeached him twice using manufactured scandals.
Now they’re running the same playbook — wild accusations without evidence, media amplification, investigations to create the appearance of wrongdoing, then impeachment.
The difference this time is they’re not just attacking Trump.
They’re attacking the military chain of command itself.
They’re telling American troops that their Commander-in-Chief is illegitimate and his orders should be questioned.
Trump designated 24 drug trafficking organizations as terrorist groups and deployed the USS Gerald R. Ford carrier strike group to the Caribbean for Operation Southern Spear.⁶
The strikes have killed at least 95 people operating drug boats in international waters since September.⁷
Democrats claim these are “extrajudicial killings” that violate international law.
Trump’s not backing down. “I’m not going to necessarily ask for a declaration of war to continue killing people that are bringing drugs into our country,” he stated.⁸
The real scandal isn’t the boat strikes against cartels poisoning Americans.
The real scandal is Democrats are so desperate to destroy Trump that they’re willing to encourage military insubordination during active operations.
This is sedition dressed up as concern for the rule of law.
And every American who cares about our military and our national security should be furious.
