Here’s what is going on. When you start firing the military’s top lawyers, that means you are getting ready to order the military to do unlawful things. Trump replaces those JAGs with men who will justify any future unlawful and unethical actions that he wants the military to do.

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

Did you know that 72 MILLION Americans rely on Medicaid for healthcare? The Trump Administration and MAGA Republicans in Congress want to take it away to give tax breaks to billionaires. Don't let them take away our healthcare. Let them know you didn’t vote for this shit.

Of the Chiefs of Staff, vice chiefs of staff, and judge advocates general of the three branches, Trump fired all the women and Black people.

Rise up, Americans. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, the Chief of Naval Operations FIRED tonight, and we know why. Black guy, woman. That's why. RISE UP. SPEAK UP. SPEAK OUT.

I'm about to drop a piece at The Atlantic on this Pentagon purge. As I warned, Trump is capturing Justice, Intelligence, the military. This is praetorianism, pure and simple.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on Friday that he was firing Admiral Lisa Franchetti, the first female officer to rise to the Navy’s top job of Chief of Naval Operations, and would be looking for her replacement.

I tell you what, I have never wanted to own a gun. I hate guns. But now?

King Musk-Trump removed the Black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour (without cause) and trying to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander. Yep, being Black is a crime.

Janet Mills, my new hero, "See you in court."

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

I have an ancestor who signed the Declaration of Independence. I WILL BE DAMNED BEFORE I LET THIS ASSHAT NAME HIMSELF A KING.

Last night, Trump promised he wouldn't touch Medicaid. This morning, Trump endorsed the House Republican plan to slash Medicaid. It's smoke and mirrors: Trump and Republicans are plotting to take away health care from millions of people to pay for tax breaks for billionaires.

During WWII, four brothers from the same Jewish family signed up to fight against the Nazis. Only one of the four brothers survived. His grandson is the current President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky — who has been fighting Russia and Putin and who should now not trust US and Trump.

Just tried calling the WH on the comment line. The numbers are no longer listed on the WH website, but are on the USA.Gov site. The line does not connect. There is a message to press two additional numbers, but then the line drops. What gives???

Trump on civil servants working from home: “Nobody’s going to work from a home. They’re going to be going out. They’re going to play tennis. They’re going to play golf. They’re going to do a lot of things. They’re not working.” Trump 1.0 - 293 golf days, $150m to taxpayers Trump 2.0 - $10.7m

Get out of Dodge, DOGE! Trump has already spent $10.7 million of taxpayer money playing golf. How has that flown under the radar of waste, fraud and abuse experts at DOGE. 🗣️Tell someone who doesn't follow the news. ca.news.yahoo.com/donald-trump...

TX Gov. Abbott used razor wire, endangering migrants crossing the Rio Grande. Abbott is illegally transporting immigrants to "Blue States" as a publicity stunt. Heartbreaking use of immigrants as pawns in his cruel political game. http://dlvr.it/TJ3PL6

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

In yet another episode of, "But I didn't think the leopard would eat MY face: 'Betrayal': Trump-voting state facing 'financial blow' as funding cuts threaten key industry www.alternet.org/trump-voting...

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

Anyone just wishing we could, in fact, turn back time? Get more people to the polls?

Zelenskyy: "I will never accept any decisions between the United States and Russia about Ukraine. Never."

I have never thought I could hate someone as much as I hate Trump and Musk. Never. I know, I know, only love can overcome darkness, but truly, I HATE THESE GUYS.

Slava Ukraini!

The millions in USAID food is STILL sitting at the Port of Houston. Trump fired the watchdogs reporting on this story, he doesn’t want Americans to see this debacle. Wasting millions on food already purchased is the epitome of wealthy entitlement #Voices4Victory www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/usa...

Dems MUST hold daily press briefings just after WH briefings. Fact check, fight back, fill the news void. Press banned from WH briefings will show up -- I promise! (I know what I'm talking about, so lets do this!)
