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...

In addition to Congress being the place that makes the laws, pretty key thing, the constitution explicitly says Congress gets to create the postal system. It’s not left implied that that comes under law making generally. The President has no power to unilaterally abolish it and move it to commerce.

Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected. It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"

REAGAN: “Our peaceful trading partners are not our enemies; they are our allies… beware of demagogues ready to declare a trade war against our friends—weakening our economy, national security, and the entire free world—while cynically waving the 🇺🇸 flag.” Trump’s bad ideas are not new.

One GOP proposal takes aim squarely at parents raising children on their own by eliminating the “head of household” filing status to reap some $200B more in taxes over a decade from single parents and other adults caring for dependents on their own.

Donald Trump is scrubbing critical health information from government websites. This is staggeringly stupid, anti-science, and will have real consequences. www.cbsnews.com/news/cdc-std...

"The cheap, reliable labor force has generated more than $250 million for the state since 2000 — money garnished from prisoners’ paychecks, the AP wrote in December. Parole numbers have also plummeted in recent years." Slavery by another name indeed.

Joe Rogan isn't a podcast host - he's a slip n slide. He oils himself up and lets his guests careen down his visage naked and bare chested.

I’m hearing from constituents whose jobs are at risk because they do agency outreach to minority communities. Consider what this means for public health, national security, agriculture and justice. The war on DEI has become a war on public service and government for all.

I don't know if the LA fire department is properly funded or not but the claim that the city cut its budget last year — which is circulating widely on the right — is false. As Politico notes, the budget actually INCREASED by $50 million. A portion of the funding was approved in a separate bill.

Call me crazy, but I think Justin Sun, a Chinese national being prosecuted for fraud by the SEC, sending Trump $18 million should be a bigger story The direct enrichment of Trump by a foreign national weeks before he takes office has merited no coverage in the NYT or Washington Post

Did you know the county jail in Flint, Michigan, does more than basically any other in the U.S. to promote voting, and civic engagement generally, for incarcerated people? I traveled there to learn more, and found a very complicated story. New for @bolts.bsky.social: boltsmag.org/flint-michig...

Elon Musk is a bag of bones in a flesh suit. He has no discernable personality that has emerged from the depths of his being; everything has been copied and pasted like a paper mache man child. Whomever he thinks he is, he is merely a dingy reflection

Porsha's death was preventable, according to more than a dozen doctors who reviewed her case for @propublica.org. It was clear she needed an emergency D&C, the experts said. The obstetrician on duty would only give her misoprostol but she continued bleeding. Hours later, her heart stopped.
