The truth 👇

The Friday Brief, February 20, 2025 open.substack.com/pub/therickw...

The stock market is going down like Donald Trump’s approval ratings. It’s like we warned this would happen.

Trump promised he wouldn't touch Medicaid. He lied. 2 out of every 5 births in this country are covered by Medicaid.... Don't Cut My Medicaid

It was always Rand Paul’s destiny to be the last man to board the political Titanic and the first one to shove a woman out of the way to take the last seat on a lifeboat.

There’s a special place in heaven for amazing teachers ❤️❤️❤️ 🔊🔊 Sound up! 🎥 in|cool.missp

The Republican Tax Scam could take a machete to slash 230 billion from SNAP and 880 billion from Medicaid. #DontCutMyMedicaid

I’m not saying we should all panic. But maybe the government shouldn’t shut down all the systems we have for monitoring this situation. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

🚨BREAKING: Supreme Court keeps lower court order that undid Trump effort to fire Special Counsel Dellinger in place. Trump administration's motion to reverse is held in abeyance until after TRO expires on 2/26. Subscribe to Democracy Docket to stay informed. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

The Supreme Court, in its first ruling on President Trump’s use of executive power during his second term, decided that he cannot, for now, dismiss the government lawyer leading the watchdog agency responsible for protecting whistle-blowers.

In a shocking display of incompetence, tRump fired General CQ Brown, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. This reckless decision is a blatant attack on military integrity, leaving a power vacuum that could jeopardize national security. www.axios.com/2025/02/22/t...

Secretary Turner wants to cancel HUD programs that serve seniors and people with disabilities. Harming seniors and vulnerable Americans does not make our government more efficient. Senator Warren, Senator Smith, and I are holding this Administration accountable.

Always stand up to a bully

Promoting an 0-9 to Chairman of the Joint Chiefs is insane - Trump is going to have to promote him to four star AND waive the legal requirements to even hold the position Dan Caine had a distinguished career, but he’s never been a vice chair, combatant commander or service chief

John Fetterman’s staff are leaving him in droves and there are awful rumors about how he treats them. Are we sure he’s not just three Kyrsten Sinemas sitting on each other’s shoulders in a hoodie? Our latest:

ProPublica has released another study related to the effects of abortion bans in the U.S., this time showing a spike in sepsis cases in Texas following the implementation of that state's "heartbeat" abortion ban in 2021.

We have breaking news for @votevets.org as Trump fires the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs on Friday night. Join us shortly. www.youtube.com/live/OdOjEdR...

General Brown is a brilliant, amazing leader. I worked at the Air Staff for three years and it was known that he read everything the staff wrote for him. He believes if an analyst took the time to write it, it’s his responsibility to read it. Very few generals do this.

These NIH funding cuts threaten research happening in Delaware on heart disease, cancer, diabetes, stroke recovery, & more. This is what this administration is focused on. Not lowering your household costs.

Better not call it a “vaccine” or it might not get approved. Maybe market it as a recreational drug.

Billionaire investor Steve Cohen says tariffs and DOGE's cuts are negative for economy www.nbcnews.com/business/eco...

The shortest honeymoon in history.

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

We refuse to let the oligarchs win and control us, and I feel a sea change (link to full video in reply)

BREAKING: Donald Trump just fired General CQ Brown (left) and has replaced him with the less qualified Lt. General Dan Caine. DEI isn’t a problem if you’re white.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center say results of a Phase I trial of an mRNA vaccine aimed at preventing pancreatic cancer show promise. The vaccine PREVENTED the cancer from coming back in patients who had already received treatment for MORE THAN three years. 🧪🧵⬇️

What fucking ignorant moron at the Journal wrote this subhead

www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/o...

“I’m in West Virginia — My insulin went from $6 to $80”

Sure Trump fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the CNO....but they fired the top JAG's in the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Why would you fire the top lawyers in the armed services at night on a Friday? That's the part you should be freaking out about.

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

Trump’s jealousy of Zelensky is so obvious. No one will EVER say Trump is a hero or compare him to Churchill.

Just asked Grok to compare the military experience of current Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Gen. CQ Brown, and Trump's pick for the position, Lt. Gen. Dan Caine. You can read the full comparison, but here’s the final takeaway and it's pretty much what I figured:

#TeslasBurn🔥🔥🔥

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

JUST IN: “A federal judge in Maryland on Friday blocked the Trump administration from terminating federal grants and contracts related to DEI as called for in executive orders signed by President Donald Trump.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...
