I've often insisted that we need to keep our eyes on Trump's actions more than his words (because so many of the words are bluster & lies). Now we have a genuinely dangerous action: a purge at the Pentagon, notably a purge of the top figures who can decide if Trump's commands are unconstitutional.

Anyone else see that Cybertruck stuck in the snow while the Honda Fit drives right past it? Pretty much sums up America vs rest of the world.

"I just hope Canada is proud. Cause every player in that room is proud to be a Canadian…Canada needed a win. The players beared that on their shoulders & took it seriously. This one was different. This wasn't a win for themselves. This was a win for 40+ million people...” - Coach Jon Cooper 🇨🇦

Grateful for fearless journalism 💙

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

Yep

Maple syrup shots! 🇨🇦

People keep bemoaning the lack of leaders in the liberal democratic world - and I echo them. But we overlook Zelenskyy, who is as admirable a symbol of courage, resolve, clarity and righteousness as you will find.

Maine: You have an awesome Governor.

Read the real stories about what USAID cuts mean, not the Musk propaganda www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/o...

Bernie too!

Hahahahaha

i love that they put a bullet proof vest on mangione as if a) he's under any danger at all and b) it wouldn't make him look like 300% hotter

It’s only right for him to be on the first flight to Mars. It’s his baby.

Gov. Mills: I’ll comply with the state and federal laws Trump: We are the federal law. You better do it because you’re not going to get any federal funds. Gov Mills: See you in court

Dear @cnn.com, The judge did not “vacate” the trial. He adjourned it. Then he appointed an amicus curiae to argue against dismissing the charges. Who writes your headlines?

Trump has announced via social media post that he is ousting Chairman of the Joint Chiefs General CQ Brown and will be replacing him with Air Force Lieutenant General Dan 'Razin' Caine.

POLITICO: Judge Abelson said “longstanding court precedent bars the federal government from ‘leveraging its funding to restrict federal contractors and grantees from otherwise exercising their First Amendment rights.’” @kyledcheney.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

There is nothing more powerful than a large and growing group of Americans that are being told they have no voice and no power over their own government. Never forfeit the power you are being told you don’t have.

Remember this press conference Trump did promising to bring prices down? www.c-span.org/program/camp...

"Strikes at the core of the First Amendment": AP sues Trump admin over Gulf of Mexico spat: The president has booted the outlet from certain events until it uses his preferred term for the Gulf of Mexico

Judge temporarily blocks key parts of Trump’s executive orders targeting DEI wapo.st/436OM44

How does firing Americans help make America great again? Cutting 5-8% of the workers is unproductive and harmful to our economy and society. This is just simply reckless and unsustainable. www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

NEW: Arizona Republicans urge U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi to reconsider the DOJ’s stance in a lawsuit challenging two state laws requiring extremely strict proof of citizenship to vote, which the Biden DOJ previously said violated federal law.

Senate Republicans have absolutely no shame. While Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, trying to make ends meet, they're hyper-focused on cutting taxes for the wealthiest Americans. Make that make sense.

COHEN: “.. I’m actually pretty negative for the first time in a while. .. It may only last a year or so, but it’s definitely a period where I think the best gains have been had and wouldn’t surprise me to see a significant correction.” @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Mark my words—He is going to try to shut down mail-in voting. When he does, we will sue and we will win. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Now why do you think it is that DOJ dismissed charges against SpaceX WITH prejudice but Emil Bove plans to hold charges over Eric Adams' head for almost four more years? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/u...

Minnesota is now South Manitoba. I don't make the rules.

I just wanna congratulate @meidastouch.com for beating Joe Rogan, and thank them for recommending my Substack. Indie media FTW! Check theirs out here: www.meidasplus.com

Carville: USAID spent $41 billion the federal budget is 6 trillion. Actually comes to something like .014%. So take that and put it against the 6 trillion and see what you have done when your president is responsible for more federal debt than any president in the history of the United States.

@joy.msnbc.com can you please post video of your interview with Chris Kluwe last night? Let's help more people see that!
