Someone has to find out where these are running - did the Trump admin just give Fox $200 million? Where is the $ being spent? x.com/Acyn/status/...
And PS it's blatant propaganda paid for with taxpayer dollars

No clue who the fuck you are but it's not.

Why is half the military purge focused on lawyers?
Two reasons:
*Hegseth has complained about lawyers restricting the military, and has defended war criminals
*Broader pattern where Trump is targeting General Counsels, assuming that loyalists will offer a legal rationale for illegal actions

Can Trump fire Generals? Yes. It is unprecedented, but he is violating norms not laws.
Look at who is being fired: the most senior is a qualified Black male, so he can be replaced by a less qualified three star general who may need a Congressional waiver to serve.

Trump's pollster found that in 18 swing House districts, 68% are unhappy about their financial situation. Majorities want ACA's expanded subsidies to continue and oppose corporate tax cuts.
Swing voters want the opposite of what Trump/Rs are set to do.

Next week, House Republicans will vote on a blueprint that could lead to $880 billion in Medicaid cuts, big cuts to spending on food stamps, and more big tax cuts for rich/corporations.
Trump's own pollster finds broad opposition to these priorities.

Except most of those people are furiously staunch protectors of all of that information.

Mark,
Are you suggesting that Ukraine should agree to Trump's quid pro quo? That's nuts.
IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW LONG IT MIGHT TAKE FOR A SOVEREIGN NATION TO DEVELOP ITS RESOURCES.
It's THEIR decision to make.
You seem to be looking at this as a business quandary. IT'S NOT.

Mark. They aren’t negotiating. Negotiation requires Ukraine. They are being extorted. There were only three countries “negotiating” in Riyadh. The U.S., Russia, and Saudi Arabia. There is no Ukraine. This is Yalta.

Except...
And I can't believe I have to write this.
It's NOT our (or Russia's) land. This means it's not our (or Russia's) resources.
None of the land is "annexed." it's an ongoing war! We should be aggressively backing Ukraine for the win!
Shame on you, Mark Cuban, for this post.
