OK, the report is now fully in major media. Media must get an extensive White House response; Congress must investigate (even if it's a minority report); DOJ and the FBI must investigate; the CIA must issue a report on what it knew about this and when.

This guy is gonna get pelted with so many Dunkin' iced coffees.

I need everyone to be crystal clear that this is a continuation of RFK and the wellness community’s *obsession* with the elimination of the disabled and the chronically ill. They are disgusted by us, they view illness and disability as weakness, and they believe in using eugenics to disappear us.

Running thread of people trying to normalize the sieg heil. It's not an "Elon gesture", it's not autism, it's not your heart going out, it's not parody or trolling. It's fucking despicable. Don't ever let this shit become normal. Fuck any excuse given, there is none. Zero tolerance. 1. Elon Musk

Some sick lib riffing here.

Joni Ernst cast one of two pivotal votes to let this happen.

If you support this, you’re an awful human being

Again: tech journalism is meeting this moment in a way the mainstream establishment newspapers and cable channels just aren’t. I can’t emphasize enough what a big deal this is.

Rep. Jason Crow: “The purge of senior officers at DOD is deeply troubling, but purging JAG officers worries me the most. “JAG officers interpret law for our commanders. They help determine what's lawful and constitutional. “Replacing these military lawyers with Trump loyalists is so dangerous.”

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

And we got finger-wagged by a New England journo "expert" for not staying in our lane and sticking to our knitting (his words) and leaving hard stuff to (paywalled) NYT and Wapo. So we were right, and we did the right thing, and we didn't need anyone's permission to make our own news decisions.

If we have enough people with the knowledge and moral fortitude of Maine Governor Janet Mills, and the Associated Press- we might be able to save our Democracy

Marco Rubio has instructed USAID to claim this is all a lie.

Well done Maine Governor Janet Mills, slapping Trump down with “See you in court!” This is how you do it, stand up to the bully. Trump threatens all her state’s federal funding if she doesn’t comply with his EO on trans people playing sports. He ends with personal insults. Of course.

This is Israel's most read daily newspaper, openly calling for genocide and saying there are no innocent people in Gaza. This is who Biden sacrificed the country to arm.

So an open threat against a sovereign state. Where are all my “state’s rights” people?

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.

Is it too much to ask to want the government to stop the president from doing the illegal stuff?

Americans proposed that Ukraine concede half of the profits from its mineral rights in perpetuity... in exchange for essentially nothing. This is not a monetary proposition, let alone a "deal," but rather the demand that Ukraine become a permanent American colony. snyder.substack.com/p/recoup-the...

“At one point, McCormick…was pointedly asked about the firings of hundreds of workers at the CDC which is based in Atlanta: “Why is a supposedly conservative party taking such a radical and extremist and sloppy approach to this?” www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

Never forget.

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State. H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

This would be completely illegal. But you wouldn’t know that from reading this post, the headline, or the lede. Unbelievably bad.

🚨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!

Again I am begging people in the media to note the legality of these actions in their headlines or blurbs. A post office is literally written into the constitution.

Disgusting toxic trash. Trump is a real tough guy, banging out Truth Social posts from his golf cart at a guy who has fought off a murderous drug-addled barbarian horde for 3 years defending his people from Russian rapists and child kidnappers.

Absurd that all GOP senators but 2 voted to make a grifter/QAnonish conspiracy-theory-monger who was paid $25,000 by a Kremlin-funded propaganda operative to head the FBI. He also has helped Putin by repeatedly claiming Russia did not attack the 2016 election. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
