Firing all of the JAGs (Judge Advocates General)—the top lawyers in each service branch—is just as bad as, if not worse than, firing (most of) the Joint Chiefs.

The one really positive thing about Trump’s firing the CJCS and Musk and DOGE attacking the Pentagon is that it’s awesome for Canada and Greenland/Denmark

The most important thing to understand about the recent history of Russian aggression against its neighbors, and especially against Ukraine, is that Putin is not a product of “Russia” or even of Russian nationalism. He is, in every way, a son of the Soviet Union. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

btw, i will tell you this - i have been talking to people all day, and the media is missing, whether intentionally or not, how absolutely, volcanically angry the people who have been fired are, not because they lost their jobs, but because their jobs matter, to us

Yeah, these federal workers actually understand what they do for us and how devastating these cuts are for us. It'd be great if the media could explain that clearly instead of taking Elon Musk's word that he's magically produced "savings" that come with no downside.

Trump confuses sycophancy with loyalty among his aides and of course loyalty to him above loyalty to the country. It is a sign of weakness and of terrible leadership. Tonight it is weakening our military and our national defense. All to soothe the fragile ego of a small, small man.

How shocking that after basically every major economist predicted Trump's policies would be bad for the economy and America elected him anyway, that we'd start seeing signs of a troubled economy a month into his term. Who could possibly have predicted that?🙄 (Do we really need a sarcasm font?)

It's dangerous to make a man like Tarrio think he can crime with impunity. I suspect a lot of the people Trump pardoned will find themselves in more trouble soon.
