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

Another six-byline alarm on DOGE’s specious accounting. “That contract wasn’t canceled by DOGE or anyone else,” he said. “If they took credit for canceling the contract, they’re lying.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

DOGE is like burning your neighbor's house after looting the safe, then announcing you "decluttered" and might give everyone in the neighborhood a ketchup packet.

This isn't hypothetical. I wish I didn't know what toasting roaches sounds like.

Arresting someone for calling you fascist seems an excellent approach to proving their point.

All my household income comes from the Feds: Social Security, federal pension, Medicare, and Medicaid. My offspring transports disabled people for medical appointments. That whole situation will collapse without federal money. I might as well start punching Nazis. "Free" ="Nothing left to lose"

MAGAts believing lies planted by Musk/Russian anime avatar accts that they're gonna get $5-8k from illegitimate DOGE are saying they'd happily sell out their liberty + yours, - the very lives of their neighbors - for a little $$. When I say don't waste your time trying to "save" MAGA, this is why.

Stock up on Forever Stamps, they said. They'll last forever, they said. But now that DeJoy's done his job, I'm starting to think 'forever' has an expiration date. Will they still work in 2030, or will I need a second mortgage just to mail a birthday card? #USPS

The problem is not loss of US manufacturing, it's the loss of US manufacturing jobs. Labor moved from agriculture, to manufacturing, to ... what? How do we resolve this? How do we have a society of people who can afford to buy the goods and services we produce? youtube.com/shorts/WlYU_...

Disgusting toxic trash. Trump is a real tough guy, banging out Truth Social posts from his golf cart at a guy who has fought off a murderous drug-addled barbarian horde for 3 years defending his people from Russian rapists and child kidnappers.

I wrote this in 2020. Pretty much the same now, except the crazy dialed up so I just changed the date to this week. (If you want the text, lemme know.)

I've been burning off steam writing sign slogans to hit the buttons of wavering authoritarians. "Elon Musk: Making Apartheid Great Again", "Trump is Elon's Bitch", "Trump Loves Daddy Putin", "Americans Fire Their Bad Kings", etc. My favorite snarky one is "Trump Smells Like Poop".

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people. And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

He did his best to kill it. This reminds me to put it in my rotation of things to urge my representatives to square away when I call.

They do not understand anything about how the government works. I know they don't care, but smashing the government for cool points is a lot higher stakes than throwing your toys out of the pram or playing with Mommy's makeup.
