So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

saying it again: if there are "conditions" on aid to california, no democrat should vote for any disaster aid of any kind to any state. all states get aid or no states get aid. that's it

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

I just can’t believe how dumb everything is.

I've received a tip that access to NASA supercomputing services used for fundamental physics research has been disrupted. I was told in-process computation jobs were interrupted from January 22-29 and access hasn't been restored. If you're in this situation, message stevanzetti.12 on Signal.

This period under Musk/Trump feels like early February in 2020—when a terrible thing was happening with breakneck speed, and the people paying close attention were hair-on-fire about it while the rest of the country carried on as normal.

I can’t believe the Supreme Court said the president was above the law and now the president is acting like he’s above the law.

It’s hard to give lawmakers any benefit of the doubt on things like TikTok when this is what they’re allowing to take place www.nytimes.com/2025/02/05/u...

A good way to understand why wealth inequality is a problem is, if some idiot says "no regulations should exist" you just laugh at him, but if that idiot has $400 billion then it's an existential crisis for America.

If Democrats accuse Trump of purposely crashing the economy to the benefit of his oligarch owners one of two outcomes: -The economy crashes and at least they don’t look blindsided. -It doesn’t and they take credit for disrupting the plan. This is totally how the GOP plays it.
