Friday, DJT fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, the CNO and the Vice-Chief of the USAF. An unprecedented purge of senior military, for what?? Some far-right, bigoted agenda??!! He further plans to replace GEN Brown with a retired 3-star who would jump over at least 40 more senior officers.

When Rupert Murdoch’s rags turn on you …

We've already debunked the 1875 dates (done on purpose) in the SSA database, but also: when someone dies, their SSN# can remain active for years after because their wives, husbands, disabled children, etc. may be entitled to receive all or a portion of it. Again - these DOGE bags know NOTHING!!

💯🙏

We must all band together. There are far more of us than there are of them. Never forget that, no matter how difficult this may become!!

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State. H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

@msnbc.com just “broke” the news that Sen. M. McConnell will not seek another term. The reporter said in part that he has in recent weeks “cemented his legacy”… really? His legacy is terrible. He cemented it when he stole a supreme court seat, and when he failed to vote YES on the impeachment. Sad.

Former 🇺🇸 ambassador to Russia 👇🏽

I was just an Education Department guy under Reagan and the most junior WH senior staffer under G.H.W. Bush, so what do I know? But if I were an ex-president, and the current president were executing the most disastrous turn in American foreign policy in 80 years, I think I might say something?

Jamie Raskin: "Given that I was marching at age 3, you know I’m not letting any coup-plotting, election-denying, insurrection-supplying autocrat, kleptocracy, plutocrat or theocrat, or any techno-feudalist Silicon Valley broligarchs aspiring dictator, turn me around now.” Amen!!

Those beautiful golden domes in Ukraine that can’t be replaced… really Donald?? Tell me, what happened to the art deco friezes in the Bonwit Teller building when you bought it and turned into your Tower?? I’ll wait…

He’s not making up: news.bloomberglaw.com/banking-law/... Is this really what y’all voted for? 🫤 💰

Headlines are not proof of anything. Suspicions are not facts. These DOGEbags are simply full of it!! Tens of millions of dead people are not getting Social Security! This is no more credible than the disproved claims that millions of dead people voted in 2020. Stay calm, protest On!!

Sure, our government could use some upgrades. FAA air traffic systems are antiquated. Some of our other systems are still based on Cobol from the 1960s. But that’s NOT what these DOGEbags are doing!! It’s only an excuse for something else all together.

When a judge stops the president from doing something illegal, that’s not a “threat to democracy,” that’s a check on the president’s power. That's the whole damn point.

Ah yes, focusing on the issues that impact regular Americans.

I’m in touch with Delta after a flight taking off from MSP crash landed in Toronto this afternoon. Grateful to the first responders and professionals on the scene.

An important point to keep in mind.

I sleep with a knife under my pillow in case someone with assorted meats and cheeses breaks in and needs to make a charcuterie board

Not celebrating Presidents Day until we get the convicted felon out of there, and get a REAL President like Biden or Obama back in office. It's No Kings Day for me.

LIVE: at the U.S. Capitol for a National Day of Protest. 💪💙

Veterans make up an estimated 30% of GS employees. 75k leaving in the buyout plus another 200k fired perhaps when this ends - that’s more than 80 thousand Veterans that will be out of work. Men and women who were #StillServing our Nation across our civil service. 🤯🤬🚩🚩🚩😢

We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.

How do we maintain common decency when monsters are in charge? Part of the way to do this, I believe, is to celebrate integrity wherever we find it — like the actions of Danielle Sassoon. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/surviving-in-a-time-of-monsters

This is what oligarchy looks like.

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

Knowledge is power…

1/29: First plane crash in 16 years in DC 1/31: Crash in Philly 2/5: Delta flight struck in Seattle 2/6: Flight wrecks in Alaska 2/10: Crash in Scottsdale 2/12: Military jet crashes in San Diego 2/16: Crash in Covington, GA 7 crashes since the WH congratulated itself for “restoring aviation safety”

There’s now close to 50 cases of measles in W. Texas, more than 67 cases of TB in two counties in Kansas, and at least 4 humans have been hospitalized for bird flu - some from “close contact” not with chickens, but cows. RFK Jr’s first move: fire 10% of the CDC…

He’s right again.

They won’t ever learn will they
