This is for @gtconway.bsky.social Five things I did last week. 1. Took too much ketamine 2. Danced onstage with a chainsaw 3. Ignored my new baby momma 4. Laughed at my own jokes. 5. Neglected all of my children except for the one I use as a human shield.

You don't fire Judge Advocates General unless you plan on issuing unlawful orders. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-f...

It's not about Brown, or Caine, or other individuals. It's not about reforming DOD . What it's about, at DOD and DOJ and the FBI and the intelligence community, is breaking all institutional resistance to Trump, and ensuring as much as is possible personal fealty to Trump.

If you support this, you’re an awful human being

Trump was willing to stand up there for a few minutes to pretend to care about black history, but hugging the guy was a deal breaker.

Running thread of people trying to normalize the sieg heil. It's not an "Elon gesture", it's not autism, it's not your heart going out, it's not parody or trolling. It's fucking despicable. Don't ever let this shit become normal. Fuck any excuse given, there is none. Zero tolerance. 1. Elon Musk

So much for a “meritocracy.” Last night at the Pentagon, President Trump and Secretary Hegseth dismantled a core principle of American democracy: the apolitical military. Let me explain what’s going on and why it is deeply dangerous for our country: 🧵

200 million dollars of waste.

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

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.

Cuts to NSF expected to be at 50% reduction in force for an independent agency that fuels discovery and innovation. "The NSF budget was $9B, or 0.13% of the total [budget]." This is not about fiscal prudence. This is about killing universities. nanoscale.blogspot.com/2025/02/the-...

“What merit means to them” General Brown’s record, which Hegseth questioned for obvious reasons: www.af.mil/About-Us/Bio...

Powerful. Tomorrow’s front page of the most influential weekly publication in Germany. “BETRAYED. First Zelensky, Soon Us? The radical departure of the US from its allies.”

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.

Of the Chiefs of Staff, vice chiefs of staff, and judge advocates general of the three branches, Trump fired all the women and Black people.

Words fail.

CARVILLE: “More deficit accumulated under Trump than any president… Trump’s approval rating lowest at this point in his presidency ever… GOP supports Putin, wants to get rid of Medicaid & Medicare…” James Carville exposed Hannity’s audience to some facts 👇🏽 Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGUcU1c...

Here's video of Steve Bannon doing a Sieg Heil today at CPAC. It is what it is and it's what Bannon intended. Don't let yourself be gaslit.

Murphy: "There's no separation between the Kremlin & the White House right now. The White House is a full-time Kremlin propaganda operation..there's a real probability American troops are going to have fight abroad to protect the global world order & our allies & perhaps American sovereignty itself"

No, Trump didn’t “baselessly claim.” He LIED. Again. www.mediaite.com/trump/trump-...

Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev seems shocked by how quickly Trump has aligned the U.S. with Russia. The WSJ reported today that Russian officials “appeared to be caught off guard” by the speed of Trump’s pivot toward Moscow.

Speaking at Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump made several false or misleading claims about Ukraine and the war. Here's what the facts actually say. 🧵 1/4

Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

I try to keep the language on here… PG… but in this case i can’t. You, Trump, are a traitorous piece of shit

There will be a bunch of screw ups that don’t get caught or reported on too. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

Eric Adams’ lawyers offered Trump’s Justice Department “an ever-present partner,” promising full cooperation as Trump removes “undocumented immigrants,” before the DOJ moved to drop the mayor’s bribery case.

Bill Browder to Bartiromo: "This is like war reparations from Ukraine, who's the victim. Russia should be handing over their natural resources for all the money we've spent, not Ukraine. Ukraine needs to rebuild, they need to defend themselves. To punish Ukraine is a highly unsympathetic position."

when you're so pro-Putin that you've lost Maria Bartiromo ...

Saudis got a seat at the table with the Americans and Russians to discuss the end of the war in Ukraine, but Ukrainians and Europeans did not. Odd. Wrong. And tragic.

Nearly 1,000 former federal prosecutors ⬇️⚖️⬇️

Hard to imagine Putin could’ve dreamed up a headline better than this. www.lbc.co.uk/usa/politics...

JD Vance is so nauseatingly unlikeable that he’s literally dragging down the AfD’s approval rating

I was electrocuted, beaten, stabbed in the leg and starved after being captured while defending my home and family in Mariupol. We held back Putin’s invasion for several weeks while Russia slaughtered over 25,000 predominantly Russian speaking Ukrainians including women and children.

Russia ended years of political isolation as a delegation of Kremlin officials met with their U.S. counterparts in Saudi Arabia to discuss how to end the war. The talks ended with little in the way of concrete agreements, but the very fact it happened — without Ukraine — is a huge win for Moscow.

I've noted some of the procedural things Democrats could be doing in Congress, but this point from @edgeofsports.bsky.social's great piece in the Nation deserves emphasis. This is basic politics, and it's baffling that every Democrat isn't doing it every day. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Musk and Trump see all probationary employees as unnecessary, with DOGE failing to do any evaluations. This is not about saving money. It’s about dismantling government willy-nilly, with no regard for priorities or critical missions.

Japanese GDP data came in today (+2.8% annualized), which means another update to my G7 growth chart! Here's each country's cumulative increase in real GDP, since just before the pandemic: 🇺🇸 +12.9% 🇨🇦 +7.6% (thru Q3) 🇮🇹 +5.2% 🇫🇷 +3.4% 🇬🇧 +3.2% 🇯🇵 +0.9% 🇩🇪 -0.2%

Elon Musk is an idiot on an almost inconceivable scale. He had his high-school toadies pull a random list from a database he doesn’t understand, and on that basis alone decided that 60 MILLION SOCIAL SECURITY ENROLLEES, out of 72 million total, are fraudulent. 83% fraudulent!
