Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

If members of Congress—like Rep. Grothman —are this clueless about what the man who is dismantling our government is saying and promising, they don’t deserve to keep their jobs! This woman is in his face, begging him to wake TF up—and he just walks off. Pathetic.

They want us to be afraid. They want us to hesitate. They want us to fear their next move. Fuck that shit. We are just getting started fighting.

Russia started this war by brutally invading a sovereign democracy and claiming innocent lives. You will not rewrite history. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

(CROWDSOURCING THREAD) Hi all. So it’s been almost exactly a year since the last PROOF Threat Index—which I just made free, below—and I’m almost done with the update. The names have changed considerably. I have 150+ names but am wondering who poses a threat to our democracy you think I might miss.

Sign of the day…

“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” Beyond parody.

My parents- before i was born. It was WW2. My dad was proud to be in the Royal Canadian Navy.

There is no better analyst of what is happening in politics, in the GOP, in the pro-democracy movement, and in the media than @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social. Please watch, consider and share. youtu.be/GyleOTPeEHs

Not asking much… Make America Normal Again

As a global leader in medical technology, Philips understands the value of doing business in Minnesota. I visited their headquarters in the Netherlands to learn how their recent expansion in Plymouth is supporting innovation and creating good-paying jobs.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social why are you not posting on here first ? You have some great things to say. You are trying some great things. Yet you post on X where 100pct of the replies are meaningless and hateful. It's not all roses here, but the engagement has depth and real convos happen

Whether your kids love Moana or you don't want to miss the game, this deal matters to you. Disney wants to buy Fubo to combine it with Hulu+ Live TV. Fewer streamers could mean higher prices… I'm pushing for an investigation.

I am proud that my law firm is currently litigation 48 voting and election cases in 18 states.

It took ten years, but the NYT finally got there

His followers are like, “Surely there must be some mistake, he said only THEIR lives would be ruined. I’d better message the president and let him know.” We’re in the denial and bargaining stage folks.

Trump allies including Russell Vought, the head of the Office of Management and Budget and acting director of the CFPB, were seen as concerned that DOGE’s lack of discipline could undermine efforts to neuter the agency.

This. Sorry. Ass. Old. Republican. Fuck.

Elon Musk is firing everyone that is investigating any of his businesses. The most egregious conflict of interest ever! Officials Are Fired at Traffic Safety Agency Investigating Musk’s Company www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/b...

BREAKING: USCP is arresting Enrique Tarrio for swiping his hand at a counterprotester who got in his face.

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

Are they stupid or lying? Or are they lying and assuming we're so stupid we just won't notice?

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

I’ve met with President Zelenskyy and members of his government. They are strong, honorable allies. Minnesota stands with the people of Ukraine as they fight to defend freedom and democracy. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

EMERGENCY VIDEO: Doesn’t it make sense, since we evidently don’t have enough money to stop AIDS in Africa or utilize that we cut Congress’ budget? Doesn’t it make sense for the White House to live on less? Shouldn’t Elon Musk take a cut to his Space x? adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/emergency-...

Math is hard

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important: Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

the “make america healthy again” agenda appears to be an elaborate op conjured up by sentient strains of listeria and salmonella www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...

3rd day in a row on the golf course while Musk runs the country. He didn’t even know yesterday that the head of the Social Security Admin resigned, and didn’t know SpaceX employees were working at the FAA/DOD, and claimed Medicaid wasn’t being cut when it’s being cut massively.

Over 120,000 Japanese Americans forced into imprisonment in internment camps simply because they were of Japanese heritage.

I'm in the Netherlands this week to foster business ties with companies looking to expand in Minnesota. I've made similar trips as Governor, representing Minnesota around the world, but this time is different.

I try to keep the language on here… PG… but in this case i can’t. You, Trump, are a traitorous piece of shit

Dark Pence is back.

Support workers!

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

I'd bet cash money that he cut a deal to get a private mail delivery contract, and to hand over his project to electrify the USPS truck fleet to Tesla in exchange for his resignation. Just a hunch.
