🚨 BREAKING: President Trump just fired Joint Chiefs Chairman CQ Brown—no reason given. That’s another highly qualified African American official ousted, only to be replaced by a white guy. This is what "America First" looks like? So sad.

This is how Mitch McConnell should be remembered: Without him, there’s no President Trump right now—he had the chance to convict during impeachment and end it, but he didn’t. Without him, there’s no stacked conservative Supreme Court—you’d have more rights today.

Please don’t turn this into ax grinding about Biden and DeJoy because, and I can’t emphasize this enough, what Trump is trying to do is illegal and being done with the goal of privatizing the USPS. You can’t use that playbook if you’re trying to make something better.

NPR's analysis found that, of its verifiable work completed so far, DOGE has cut just $2 billion in spending & NOT the $55 billion that Musk reported saving by ending federal contracts. Musk cannot be trusted to tell the truth & therefore cannot be trusted w/ personal info or the programs we need.
