5 former Secretaries of Defense call on Congress to exercise oversight responsibility on Trump-Hegseth firing of senior military leaders: The "dismissals raise troubling questions about the administration’s desire to politicize the military and to remove legal constraints on the President’s power."

Notice how on the day Trump promises to release the Epstein files he actually releases Andrew Tate, another sex trafficking rapist.

One thing that popped out of YouGov polling this week: The idea of Musk making money off his access is VERY unpopular.

Pitch: Thinly disguised “Citizen Kane” style biopic about Elon Musk - but instead of starring a genius young actor, deliberately cast a very uncharismatic, bloat-bodied, empty faced, middle aged failure to accurately portray his completely wasted wreckage of a personality onscreen.

Let's be clear. All these tech billionaires like Bezos and Musk and Zuckerberg didn't become right wingers because of some ideological awakening -- or because of "wokeness." It's because they're BILLIONAIRES and they want to avoid taxes. That's it. It's the MONEY.

Paying American farmers to feed starving children around the world, putting our flag on lifesaving nutrition for innocent lives, makes America great. Breaking that pipeline of good work and goodwill does not. Trmp, Msk, and R*bio are taking food from the mouths of babies and hurting our country.

This hits hard… “Then she was fired by a Fox News weekend host.” You know what else hits hard? The fact that voters thought it was a good idea to hire a reality show host/bankrupt businessman as President of the United States.

I think it’s imperative that Democrats say that the firings are illegal. In every piece of communication, it needs to be clear that Republicans are breaking the law.

Trump isn’t just acting like a president—he’s acting like a king. From forcing bad deals on Ukraine to calling himself "LONG LIVE THE KING," his delusions of grandeur are more dangerous than ever. It’s time to wake up and push back. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/the-king-o...

Though many claim to embrace both the Golden Rule and Jesus' command to love others as they love themselves, an army of self-identified faith-filled Americans seem incapable of asking a seemingly elemental question: "What is it like to be someone else?" johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/is-america...

Lots of clever commentators on the right are reluctantly concluding that Trumpism is rotten. Which is a bit odd because most people with History GCSE saw he was flat out fascistic the second he came down that elevator. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019...

Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

Four years ago, Trump's VP, attorney general, and FBI director defied his scheme to lie about an election and overturn it. Now he has replaced them with 3 people — Vance, Bondi, and Patel — who have proved their willingness to help him lie. Team Coup is ready to go. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbyL...

This is huge! Trump is ramming his agenda through now, so he can’t be stopped later—shock & awe. But look at these approval numbers—he’s underwater on our major issues. Public opinion is against Trump & his policies—his approval rating is historically low. It’s only going to get worse… MUCH worse.
