The poster child for white male mediocrity, Pete Hegseth, is firing qualified Black men and women from the military.

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.

Quite the consequential Friday night massacre. They not only took out three top military leaders, but also the JAG officers who interpret what’s lawful and constitutional for military command.

Okay, enough is enough — it’s time to impeach the MF! 🇺🇸

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

"Six weeks ago, we had the strongest economy, employment, and stock market in history. ..All gone in 30 days."

This is key to understanding the building outrage & backlash that extends way beyond the hurt of those fired. Firing people for no reason is brutal & loathsome but the even larger overall offense is wiping out all the fired people’s jobs with them, all the purposes & needs & value those jobs serve.

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*

Modern-Day Peaceful Protest… TikTokers are hunting Cybertrucks—pulling up behind them and projecting anti-Elon Musk messages onto the tailgate. What’s genius: the driver has zero rear visibility & zero idea. The Cybertruck Hunters account launched a week ago and already dropped a dozen videos.

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

AP sues Trump, stocks crash, consumer confidence plummets, Trump fires the ICE director over poor deportation numbers, GOP has horrible fundraising numbers, and more. Catch up on today's news!

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

#ProudBlue #Voices4Victory Cutting $2.3 trillion from Medicaid will abandon seniors & bankrupt families. Republicans don’t care about the human cost - they only care about their billionaire donors’ profits. #DontCutMyMedicaid

If we have enough people with the knowledge and moral fortitude of Maine Governor Janet Mills, and the Associated Press- we might be able to save our Democracy

🚨✊AP sues 3 Trump administration officials, citing freedom of speech 💃🕺

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

JUST IN: Mitch McConnell will NOT seek reelection next year.

I've been wondering for a while: why does a British online newspaper have the best headlines about Trump?

What a shame. Teamsters deserve better than this.

Europe's largest pension fund sold its entire €571 million ($585 million) stake in Tesla #DefundMusk

And fully half of it is a humiliating error where they mistake the value of a contract by 1000x confusing 8 million with 8 BILLION
