Why did Hegseth just fire every top military branch lawyer? What did they refuse to sign off on? A Pulitzer awaits the reporters and outlet who can tell the public.

US threatens to shut off Starlink if Ukraine doesn’t sign minerals deal. Starlink is essential for Ukraine’s battlefield comms. This is the equivalent of FDR threatening to arm the Nazis if Europe didn’t sign over half its resources. Extortion. And utterly unforgivable. Hell awaits.

January 29, 2021 "Donald Trump was cultivated as a Russian asset over 40 years and proved so willing to parrot anti-western propaganda that there were celebrations in Moscow, a former KGB spy has told the Guardian." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021...

More CFPB news: The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's employees have been told that the bureau's Washington HQ lease is cancelled and the agency has 30 days to vacate the building www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

Sigh.

Trump pardoned the sentence of arguably the single biggest drug trafficker in American history on his second day in office!

A new bat coronavirus that has the capacity to spread to humans, similar to the one that caused the COVID-19 pandemic, has been discovered by a Chinese researcher. Good thing we are completely prepared this time. www.newsweek.com/new-coronavi...

People need to understand this: Trump did not leave office willingly the first time. If his health holds up, he will not leave office willingly this time. He is not joking about serving more than two terms.

Holy crap. At his town hall last night, Rep. Rich McCormick compared *his own constituents* who asked him tough and fair questions to January 6 insurrectionists

DOGE = Department of Gross Errors

When did firing people like nuclear scientists and air traffic controllers seem like a better idea than simply taxing the rich?

It's only been a month since he was sworn in... Art by @dennisgoris.bsky.social

Trump is surrendering America. Trump is the opposite of strong. He is a tiny, weak, small, scared, trembling, sissy, husk of a man. There is nothing manly about his fat, sweaty, smelly, gross, makeup'ed self An absolute joke

The share of Americans employed by the government steeply dropped in the decades leading up to 2000, and has remained essentially flat since. A bloating federal workforce is a myth.

New from @propublica.org: Ever since Texas banned #abortion, deaths among hospitalized pregnant and postpartum women there have 𝘴𝘰𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘥 – even as maternal mortality rates across most of the nation were dropping. Welcome back to the “Golden Age,” MAGAts. www.propublica.org/article/texa...

The waste is coming from the White House. 👇

the “make america healthy again” agenda appears to be an elaborate op conjured up by sentient strains of listeria and salmonella www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people. And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

Hey, SCOTUS, you cool with this part of the executive order Scribble Face signed today?

This is a coup.

Holy shit. Senator Dick Durbin, the Ranking Member of the Judiciary Committee, has proof suggesting Kash Patel may have LIED under oath when he said he did not know Stew Peters, a right wing extremist who worked with prominent Neo Nazis. See below: Vote NO on Kash Patel!

The last few days should put to rest the idea that Trump can be managed with the right combination of flattery and acquiescence. Zelensky made a series of reasonable and credible efforts to get Trump onside. He basically followed the playbook for how Trump ought to be managed. And, look:

Teamsters going to rebrand themselves as a “confederacy”

Has Putin also ordered Trump to cut the US military down to the point where we can't stand up to Russia? www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Did Panama agree to build and run Trump’s concentration camps so he’d stop talking about seizing the canal?

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Rep. Jasmine Crockett exposes near $1 billion in new contracts for Musk in just 2 weeks: "This is nothing more than a money grab. He's not out there trying to save money for the American people, he's lining his pockets."

This is what Hillary Clinton meant by calling him "Putin's Puppet."

🚨BREAKING: A small plane has crashed near Marana Regional Airport in Pima County, Arizona. One person is reportedly dead. What’s going on with all these plane crashes since Trump took office?

😯

It’s a conundrum. 🤷‍♂️

Move fast and break stuff is the stupidest philosophy ever. It was created by people incapable of moving fast and creating stuff, and applying it to things that affect people's lives is just pure incompetence, ignorance and irresponsibility.
