. General Mark Milley was right . . . ... and he's still right ! 💠 👊 💠

I am very politically active and write/call my congressman often. I have lived in his district for almost 2 decades. I have never seen him in person and it’s not for a lack of trying. No town halls. No visiting his district. I’ve never seen hide nor hair of Sam Graves.

Destroying the CDC team researching Lyme disease. Disbanding the HHS Long COVID council. Cutting Medicaid. How is any of this cost-saving? This is not about efficiency. It’s about funding tax breaks for billionaires while costing Americans their health. www.9news.com/article/news...

Information was shared illegally. A career employee at the Social Security Administration provided unauthorized access to data to Elon Musk’s staffers. This employee, Leland Dudek, a data analyst, was recently promoted to acting commissioner by Trump.

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

Nailed it.

Driving an EV is almost 4x cheaper per mile than a gasoline engine vehicle. It costs around $1 in electricity to go 24 miles in an EV It costs about $3.65 to go the same 24 miles using a gasoline engine. electrek.co/2025/02/21/t...

At the Long Beach Tesla Takedown, lots of folks out here (I’d estimate probably 40-50 so far) and lots of support from cars driving by. Come out and join!

All this bullshit immediately crumbles when it's presented to anyone who's not a sympathetic cohost on your podcast

Clinical trials for the most serious diseases halted. Research grants ended. 1,500 NIH workers fired. All probationary employees fired- these were the brightest, fully trained & vetted, most talented next generation of public servants - fired. This is not ending “waste, fraud or abuse”’

Odd how the turns have tabled… Trump reversed course and admitted that Russia did, in fact, invade Ukraine. International news sources and independent media have stepped up to keep Americans informed.

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...

This is how you do it. Other news agencies like Axios and CBS, stop rolling over! Grow a spine, stand up straight and fight!

This hits hard.

🫡🇺🇸 "Americans do not swear an oath to a king, a tyrant or a dictator. We swear an oath to the Constitution and the idea of ​​America, for which we are willing to die," — Mark Milley ❗️He said that every US military member gives his life to protect the Constitution, not to individuals.

In 1994, under pressure from US, Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons in exchange for assurances from United States, Russia, and UK to respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders. Eventually Russia invaded Ukraine. Imagine if Ukraine had kept its nukes-

Take it from a guy who was nearly killed because of Trump's lies 👇 Former Vice President Mike Pence speaks for all of us, on this point at least, when we see an American President spew disgusting, easily provable lies and grovel at the feet of a murderous Russian dictator. #TraitorTrump

Doesn't happen often, but sometimes you have too much lens for wildlife. I had a 700mm prime lens on the camera (500mm + 1.4x TC) when this White-tailed Deer basically walked right up to me. This image is not cropped. Rothesay, #NewBrunswick, Canada February 2018 📸 #photography #nature #mammals

It is Saturday! Affirmation Coyote hopes you have plans, even if they consist of no plans. They note that it is also National Margarita Day.

If ever anyone needs a picture to properly drive home the point that Congress really needs term limits, here's the one.

200 million dollars of waste.

I've been building and installing Corsi-Rosenthal boxes since the southern California wildfires were really bad a few weeks back and they've made a huge difference in my indoor air quality. Really highly recommend, should have done this years ago

For Europe, supporting Ukraine is a matter of security and stability on the continent. Keeping Ukraine strong means keeping a strong, battle-hardened army with real combat experience - the second largest in Europe. Ukrainian army can become a reliable ally in a defense union⤵️

Speaking of no interest in existing. I’m curious why people have issue with the MAiD program we have rolled out in Canada. Personally think it’s a pretty great program.
