Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Update on the earlier post about pauses on DOD firings, with RIFs starting next week. Anyone else getting whiplash? (Thank you to @wmn4srvl.bsky.social for bringing this to my attention)

Under her command, the US Navy met its recruiting goals last year. The Army did not. She made being in the Navy more tolerable, based on experience of more than 20 years of her career at sea. People wanted to join Navy, to the point they had to deny people because the training slots were filled.

LFG !

Ridiculous. I wonder if he has a case against DOGE, because we need people with standing to sue. Congress has made it ABUNDANTLY clear that they’re not going to do THEIR job, so all we have left is the judiciary, and even that’s shaky. But it’s better than nothing.

TRUMP: The NCAA has complied immediately. That's good. But I understand Maine -- is the governor of Maine here? JANET MILLS: Yeah I'm here TRUMP: Are you not gonna comply? JM: I'm going to comply with state and federal law T: You better do it bc you're not gonna get any federal funding at all

Canada beats the US in the 4 Nations faceoff in overtime 3-2. The US now becomes a Canadian province and Trump is downgraded to Premier.

Hey @meidastouch.com this is great. And awful. Maybe this is why he’s going over to king. Fewer ways to spell it wrong. Ruling by EO isn’t supposed to be possible. How do we resurrect the constitution? And legally established policies while sharpies exist?

Dozens of Russians are being subjected to compulsory psychiatric treatment because of their political views, according to lawyers and human rights groups — a trend they say has gathered pace since the start of the war in Ukraine reut.rs/42YChra

HEADS UP! We need to give this story more attention. This is the next phase - investigations of those who criticize Trump, Musk or SCOTUS. It’s already started. It is a campaign of intimidation designed to silence criticism. wapo.st/3X8d75G

Nuclear war is prevented by standing up to bullies, not siding with them. That's not hyperbole. If Putin sets his mind on Poland, France will use tactical nukes (ASMP) as warning shot. That could spiral into the release of strategic weapons. If so, Russia will nuke USA regardless.

Damn 😂 Putin's manbaby blames Ukraine for being invaded

This is incredibly stressful to our Alzheimer's community (families and researchers). There are Alzheimer Disease Research Centers that are in limbo now - no council meetings means no notice of awards, means all the research we are doing to slow or prevent this disease is paused indefinitely.

Yes, there are assholes in every organization. Under a different administration, this guy would have been canned so fast the energy produced could power a small town. Under this one? He'll probably be promoted. 🤬

Please, we need everyone to bug the shit out of their house representative(s) and senators! Call every day, request in-person meetings. Be concise. Don’t be an asshole. Tell them your concerns. Ask hard questions and demand answers. Hold them accountable. DEMOCRACY FIRST. Don’t let up!

Note worthy comments …

Senate Armed Services Chairman Roger Wicker says Vladimir Putin can't be trusted & should be jailed for life "if not executed." This guy's a Republican. I find it hard to imagine how Moscow could ever see Washington as a reliable negotiating partner, knowing this sentiment might reign again by 2028.

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"

Sellout SOAB POS. FUCK YOU. You CUBAN SELLOUT
