It’s a labor of love from volunteers and it’s an honor to put these tifos together with such a hard working group of people.

Incredible to me that anyone ever believed or credulously repeated the notion that this was about cutting waste or fraud It’s always been an ideologically motivated attack on federal capacity. We don’t need to believe or repeat obvious lies

Can't build mines quickly (would take more than a decade to come online in best of circumstances), let alone in a war zone. Unclear what Ukraine has in way of minerals. The effort to extract resources from Ukraine's wider value chain including ports & oil w no security guarantee should be nonstarter

This is theft and imperialism. The revenue from oil, ports may be more significant than minerals. $500 billion price tag. No security guarantee. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/w...

A judge ordered foreign aid to resume. Aid groups say it’s not happening. Instead, more than 200+ groups had their contracts terminated. Food is now rotting near starving people; some aid warehouses left unguarded. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Every senior officer serves at the pleasure of the President, but Trump and Hegseth’s firing of CJCS Chairman General Brown will reflect badly on the civilian leadership, not on the military.

Pay attention to this. Replacing JAGs with loyalists enables whatever orders Trump and Hegseth issue to be interpreted as lawful.

btw, i will tell you this - i have been talking to people all day, and the media is missing, whether intentionally or not, how absolutely, volcanically angry the people who have been fired are, not because they lost their jobs, but because their jobs matter, *to us*

Firing all the JAGs is very very bad

Firing all of the JAGs (Judge Advocates General)—the top lawyers in each service branch—is just as bad as, if not worse than, firing (most of) the Joint Chiefs.
