CQ Brown was one of the most qualified Joint Chiefs ever, so it’s not surprising that the most incompetent administration in history would get rid of him. America is currently led by stupid people, and we see that every day!

“If FBI agents who are just doing their jobs aren’t free of the risk of political prosecution, then who is? In a country run by a president who has accumulated all power into his own hands, you never know who might run afoul of the leader’s good graces.” joycevance.substack.com/p/kash-patel...

72 million Americans are on the chopping block to lose their healthcare if Republicans pass the budget that came out of the House. AOC (D-NY) voices her concerns daily telling her colleagues on the other side of the aisle that people are yelling Don’t Cut My Medicare. AOC has no fucks left to give.

While Grimes was pleading with ketamine freak, Elon Musk for help with a medical situation involving one of their children, he was at CPAC ignoring her and pulling this shit. Tell me more about their 'family values.'

This what Trump has brought to the country, threats of political violence against anyone who disagrees with him. Where have we seen this?

DOGE is not about waste and fraud. This is about gutting government services without any evaluation of their need. Americans have decided to have and fund an effective National Park Service. Trump and Musk are trampling on democracy to do whatever the hell they want.

Important to stop phrasing & headlining things as "Trump does XXX" (e.g. "Trump fires all USPS heads and integrates it under Commerce"); we can simply say he is purporting to do XXX, or claiming the power to do XXX. Mere fact of a president saying he did something doesn't will it into existence.

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.

Giving tax cuts to the wealthiest while gutting programs families rely on—that’s the Republican plan. Democrats just tried to pass an amendment that would prevent a tax cut for those earning more than one billion dollars. Senate Republicans blocked it.

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

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. 🧵⬇️

Elon & Trump have unveiled the next target of their “move fast and break things” approach: air travel. What a reckless, stupid development. I’m pushing for answers and to save the jobs of already overworked air traffic controllers. This makes the flying public less safe.

Trump has spent half of his time and more than $10M in taxpayers' money visiting Trump properties to play golf (and charging the Secret Service for staying at his properties) since the inauguration. ⛳

Baldwin: "Last night, the president said 'I'm not touching Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, VA, I'm not touching them.' By this morning, he endorsed the House budget resolution which paves the way for massive cuts to Medicaid."
