She, her. Pearl’s mother, gardener, doer of sporadic attempts at art. Lefty but with discernment. If you only want a perfect echo chamber of Lefty Establishment thought, don’t follow *me*.

Musk took over the US government with graft and is using it—in combination with his space launch firm—to exploit an allied country that’s suffering under Russian invasion for its mineral rights. The scheme is so imperiously evil I feel like audiences wouldn’t find it believable in a Bond villain.

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

I betcha several GOP lawmakers are thinking this may not have been the best star upon which to hook their wagons about now.

Absolutely. Call the reps you have, whether they're Ds or Rs. You can be incredibly powerful when you call YOUR OWN reps. PARTICULARLY very LOCAL reps. They don't get that many calls! You can make a big difference!

I just called my senators. You should too. This is something they can actively stop.
