Trump Moves with Light Speed and Brute Force.

Strong statement by retired Rear Admiral Mike Smith, President of NSL4A: "National Security Leaders for America strongly condemns the removal of senior military officers without just cause. ... Removing experienced leaders with meritorious records weakens the force and emboldens America’s enemies."

Donald Trump — The House resolution "implements my FULL America First Agenda, EVERYTHING, not just parts of it." The House plan slashes $880 billion from Medicaid—TRUMP OWNS THIS!!! Democrats need to speak out now—LOUDLY. Don’t Cut My Medicaid 📢

Per @phildstewart.bsky.social: “U.S. negotiators pressing Kyiv for access to Ukraine's critical minerals have raised the possibility of cutting the country's access to Elon Musk's vital Starlink satellite internet system, three sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.”

Trump benefits from the bully pulpit of the presidency, a legislative branch that has contracted out all of its autonomy, and Elon’s unlimited funding—but if he loses popular support, none of those things will matter. And we’re already seeing the tide turn. McCormick’s district (below) is R+22.

This report is rightly generating headlines & discussion. For me it shows why we shouldn’t go down the route of trying to match Russian capabilities - but should focus on our own strengths esp emerging defence tech to boost combat power, deter & if needed defeat RU www.bruegel.org/analysis/def...

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

King Musk-Trump removed the Black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour (without cause) and trying to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander. Yep, being Black is a crime.

Constituent: When will you stand up to them and say that is enough? Rep. Fitzgerald: The end result of the fraud and abuse that has been discovered Crowd: Booo

Put together the plan. Then tell me who you think will say yes.

Wise man…

When the stupid reveals itself..once again.. We don’t do kings, no matter how hard you try, asshole 🖕🏻 #SheShed

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

I'm in ! Tell me how.

WaPo Page One: “If you’re going to just yell at me, that’s not going to be an effective town hall,” McCormick said .. “But we’re pissed!” a woman shouted. #GA07 www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

200 million dollars of waste.

Oof! Brian hit the nail on the head!

General Charles Q. Brown Jr., Faithfully and Honorably served the Constitution and The People of the US for 41-years in the USAF. His last posting was as the 21st Chairman of The Joint Chiefs of Staff. He was unjustly fired by the dangerously unqualified SECDEF. I proudly stand with Gen. Brown.

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

Sharing more townhall videos today because they’re giving me hope. THIS is good trouble! Who is this man? I want to shake his hand and buy him a drink.

This is terrifying.

Trump is out to pasture www.palmerreport.com/analysis/don...

I have decided to call @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social EVERY DAY to tell him to fight harder. The days of being cautious and timid have led us to fascism. I will remind him he works for us and that he needs to ramp it up. I called and left a message today. Please join me. His number: 202-225-5936

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

🚨BREAKING: Supreme Court keeps lower court order that undid Trump effort to fire Special Counsel Dellinger in place. Trump administration's motion to reverse is held in abeyance until after TRO expires on 2/26. Subscribe to Democracy Docket to stay informed. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

UPDATE ON MY HEALTH: Today, I am three weeks out from my surgery. I’m still in pain and recovering, but not as much acute pain. It will probably be at least a month or so before I am back to my “normal“. But as you can see, I have the BEST nurse in the world by my side the beautiful Nurse Anjelika.💜

Victoria DeLano is one of thousands of federal probationary employees fired in recent days by the new Department of Government Efficiency team. At the time of her firing, she said she was the only Office of Civil Rights investigator based in Alabama. www.al.com/educationlab...

He nails it.

Amen to that.

NEW: Trump’s DoJ Chief of Staff has filed a complaint against Judge Reyes because she bench slapped their bigoted asses into the sun three days ago.

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...

oh boy -- Rich McCormick bailed on CNN after his ill-fated town hall

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

BREAKING: Supreme Court rules that government watchdog fired by Trump may remain on the job www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

I’m shocked.

Fuck Elon, send him to Mars 💥😡

We can agree that it's shameful if it comes to fruition. I dont think there is any chance it does. I don't understand why people don't believe Zelensky is as good a negotiator as Mexico or Canada. He knows you give Trump the PR win and move on

NOBODY VOTED FOR MUSK'S LITTLE INTERNET RANDOS, ANY NOBODY SHOULD ACCEPT WHAT THE FUCK THEY'RE DOING.

72 million Americans are on the chopping block to lose their healthcare if Republicans pass the budget that came out of the House. AOC (D-NY) voices her concerns daily telling her colleagues on the other side of the aisle that people are yelling Don’t Cut My Medicare. AOC has no fucks left to give.
