Trump again proves he is focused on all the wrong things. These firings put his chaotic, short-sighted decision making norms on full display. Weakening our country by gutting the Pentagon only further demonstrates that he doesn’t put our national security first. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

Donald Trump just fired a well-respected General who was Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. And his Administration announced they’re replacing other officers, too. The purge of people of stature and independence goes on.

Agree with @brianbeutler.bsky.social here: The effort to use the 2024 outcome to cast Obama's politics as superior to Biden's (or the other way around) is largely a waste of time. Intra-Dem factional infighting isn't interesting, and it isn't even constructive. www.offmessage.net/p/theres-mor...

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

In America we don’t bow to Kings or would be dictators. Today across the country people will actually gather to say NO. They want you to believe resistance is futile, that their power is inevitable. It’s not. History proves that people who stay engaged can change the course of events.
