Donald Trump’s firing of military leaders — four-star General Brown and four-star Admiral Franchetti — along with top legal officers is a betrayal of legions of first rate service members who dedicate their lives to our nation’s defense. This is a growing national security risk.

People need to understand this: Trump did not leave office willingly the first time. If his health holds up, he will not leave office willingly this time. He is not joking about serving more than two terms.

The US is refusing to co-sponsor a UN motion backing Ukraine ahead of Russia's full-scale invasion 3-year mark. The US, under Trump, is joining the axis of evil

How Hitler seized power: 1. Create a crisis. 2. Demonize opponents. 3. Declare a state of emergency. 4. Undermine elections. 5. Make the rule of law irrelevant. 6. Rule by decree. If America falls it will be because of the people who didn’t pay attention.

If Joe Biden said this, the entire Republican Party would be yelling about Munich/1938/appeasement, & it would prompt nonstop front page headlines about whether he was mentally unfit to be president.

Gotta love that Trump is still whining about that 60 Minutes interview and how they edited it -- during a pre-taped chat with Hannity that is chopped up.

A good moment to remember the Russia thing was always real. Trump's goal is to help Russia and Putin, always has been. He's trying to throw our democratic allies under the bus and America as well. Again, the Russia thing was always real.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

This is extraordinarily dangerous. Tomorrow, the legacy media will ask Republican officials about this. Those officials will lie and obfuscate. And the legacy media will move on. That is part of the crisis we face.

We need to be clear that Trump and Musk are not reducing the size of the US government, or making it more efficient. They are destroying it.

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies. Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE. Funny how that works, huh?

i am going to put a finer point on this: executive orders are not laws. and they certainly are not royal decrees. they are interpretations of existing law for the purposes of enforcement. the fact that so many people are treating them as laws is actually driving me a bit insane.

David Remnick on the Daily Show blaming Democrats and Biden for Trump while absolving the media of any culpability is impossible for me to stomach.

We should all be pushing our local & municipal government agencies and elected officials to establish @bsky.app accounts. Making Bluesky more of a hub of civic information will encourage many, many users to migrate away from Twitter/X. Is there a Bluesky HOWTO for govt departments and officials?
