"During the meeting, Ukraine was told it faced imminent shutoff of the Starlink service if it did not reach a deal on critical minerals, said the source, who requested anonymity to discuss closed negotiations." Astonishing betrayal of an ally. www.reuters.com/business/us-...

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

It is so hard to get through to people that before food stamps, kids starved. Before meat inspections, kids died. Before vaccines, kids died. You're choosing to kill children to save a buck & you refuse to see it because it's not real to you

I know folks hate seeing content from the other site, but the escalation implied in this tweet exchange is so severe that it needs to be acknowledged.

“A prudent court will give the govt officials… multiple opportunities to comply with the order, and will escalate things only when the officials… make their defiance clear.” These law professors learned nothing. Granting delays, treating bad faith BS as merited, is why Justice lost from 2021-2024.

Top USAID officials are trying to create a false narrative that life-saving aid has continued despite Trump’s blanket halt to foreign aid. Our @nytimes.com reporting shows the exact opposite. USAID even issued an internal email to stop applications for waivers: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/u...

Trump and Musk claim they are trying to reduce waste, fraud and abuse. This is the job of Inspectors General, whom Trump is firing. Two days ago, the USAID IG explained how shutting down the agency created the risk of billions in fraud. Next day he was fired. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

In case there’s any confusion, the “fraud” Trump is lying about here is, as described by the AP, funding for “early childhood education, pollution reduction and HIV prevention research” as well as “billions of dollars in grant funding from the National Institutes of Health.”

Elon Musk dismantled USAID as it was investigating Starlink for shutting down satellites over Ukraine to help Russia. Elon Musk shut down the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau as it was about to regulate big tech financial operations. Don’t be surprised. This is EXACTLY how oligarchies work.
