Just like we shouldn’t be firing FAA employees when commercial airliners are flipping upside down.

A new website created by about a dozen federal employees, called “We the Builders,” aims to be a secure outlet for government workers to share stories about how their workplaces are being impacted by DOGE, and a place to explain the real-world impact of its access to government tech systems.

General Brown is a brilliant, amazing leader. I worked at the Air Staff for three years and it was known that he read everything the staff wrote for him. He believes if an analyst took the time to write it, it’s his responsibility to read it. Very few generals do this.

This is an excellent and timely factsheet on Ukraine, U.S. v. European security assistance, and other misunderstood or lied about aspects of the war, by our friends at @thestudyofwar.bsky.social. I'll summarize a few main points below, with additional sources of my own:

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Trump is a goddamn traitor to America. Any congressional Republican who supports him — or is afraid to stand up to him — is just as much of a traitor as Trump.

Trump just fired the Joint Chief of Staff to install his own puppet. Do you really think he plans on leaving in 2028? www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

We all knew this was part of Project 2025. Trump is looking to cut over a trillion dollars from Medicaid + food stamps & there's already a bill. This will decimate under-resourced communities. Make no mistake that they've declared WAR on the working class. Healthcare & food access are human rights.

The Trump Administration deletes the nationwide database for reporting police misconduct, an effort that started after the murder of George Floyd. (Under Trump in 2020). It helped prevent bad cops from jumping to new agencies and start over with clean records.

A reminder that Nikki Haley endorsed, supported and voted for Putin’s puppet. Just shut the fuck up.
