Please read @fpwellman.bsky.social substack on this. It’s crucial. This is the beginning of the destruction of the US Military.

Sure Trump fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the CNO....but they fired the top JAG's in the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Why would you fire the top lawyers in the armed services at night on a Friday? That's the part you should be freaking out about.

Sen. Padilla and I will be supporting Governor Newsom’s request for federal aid to recover and rebuild from the Eaton and Palisades fires. To deny it – or place conditions on it – would be to abandon people in their time of most need. People need help. We must act urgently.

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

🚨Trump just fired Gen. CQ Brown and threatened more firings are coming. This isn’t strength—it’s the move of a weak, insecure tyrant. Gutting military leadership for loyalty tests puts US security at risk and sends a dangerous signal to our enemies. History will judge this—& those who stay silent.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

📢Veterans, now is the time to raise hell! While Trump & Musk fire critical VA staff, House Republicans are rushing through bills to GUT Veterans’ care. They think no one will fight back. Prove them wrong. Speak out. Spread the word. MORE: www.military.com/daily-news/o...

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

For all my colleagues who want to be on Donald Trump's 'good side' - just remember: There's more room under the Trump Bus than on it.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

Any Democrat in congress who still says they want to find common ground with Trump should resign. Let us elect a real Democrat.

“I am a king and my will is law” isn’t a clever distraction from what he’s doing, it’s the central underlying justification for everything he’s doing.

With all due respect, Congressman, he’s not trying to distract from anything here. He’s a grandiose pathological narcissist. A narcissistic sociopath. A malignant narcissist. A psychopath. A megalomaniac. This is what he thinks of himself. And what he wants others to think of him.

This Fourth Estate--what is this Fourth Estate that you speak of? Other than a few indepedent media outlets here and there, I am amazed at the eunuch brigade we have in newsrooms. They are just allowing their power to be run over roughshod while their billionaire owners laugh and sneer at democracy.

For people wondering when the right began falling in love with Putin: It was after the passage of the first anti-gay law in Russia in 2013. That was the moment GOP elected officials and rightwing Christian grifters started showing up on Fox to heap praise Putin. www.theguardian.com/world/2013/j...

The best way to slow down Trump is to drive down his poll numbers. There is no easy way to do that, but Dems need to recognize that anything that helps Trump hurts Dems. They must do everything they can to gum up the works and give him no votes on anything. www.messageboxnews.com/p/how-to-mak...

I like Hakeem Jeffries as a person, but I increasingly feel that he’s not the right leader for these truly perilous times. I want to see more fire in the belly. More anger. More passion. Our country and our democracy are under daily assault by Trump and Musk, for fuck’s sake. ACT LIKE IT, damn it!!!

It's not just the money, either. A venue manager told me that when they're setting up her show, she went out and introduced herself to the locals doing the work to thank them. He said that's the only act he's ever seen do that. You don't have to be a fan of her music to be a fan of Taylor Swift.
