Please read @fpwellman.bsky.social substack on this. It’s crucial. This is the beginning of the destruction of the US Military.

This was the moment, just over a month ago, when the ADL could've put an end to Republicans doing Nazi salutes. They didn't. They chose instead to provide cover by calling it "an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm." Now the sieg heil salute has been normalized. The ADL literally had ONE JOB.

Those of us in the DMV (and elsewhere) should make sure there is a larger protest outside than there is an audience inside.

CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

Trump DOJ says Jan. 6 pardons apply to other gun charges. He has now told them all, “If you answer the call when I ask you to become violent, you never have to worry about a thing!” www.npr.org/2025/02/20/n...

A former Soviet intelligence officer alleges Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987 and given the codename “Krasnov.” Alnur Mussayev served in the 6th Directorate, responsible for counter-intelligence support in the economy. One key objective was “recruiting businessmen from capitalist countries.”

Eliminating accountability for crooked and abusive cops means your priority is protecting crooked and abusive cops instead of the communities they’ve harmed. This is a fascist police state tactic.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Good morning and Happy Friday to everyone who agrees that if you want people to stop calling your party a bunch of Nazis, then your party leaders should stop doing Nazi things like the Sieg Heil. Did you notsee this coming?

When I see Steve Bannon doing a Nazi salute to cheers it means only one thing: 420,000 U.S. troops died defending our country from Nazi assholes and 77 million people voted for them to be in power. MAGA betrayed our country voting for this nightmare.

Hegseth: A Waste, Fraud, and Abuser

The top 1% evades $163 billion in taxes each year and many Fortune 500 companies pay an effective tax rate of 0%. President Musk is cutting 6000, mostly enforcement, jobs at the IRS because he feels the rich aren’t exploiting the system enough. Grift.

Arresting someone for calling you fascist seems an excellent approach to proving their point.
