This is good news. You're welcome. open.substack.com/pub/dworkin/...

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

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...

Unbelievable, from the man who did more than anyone else to give Douglas Murray's explicit white ethnonationalism a platform and a bridge to the UK mainstream. archive.ph/LMDiX

“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.

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.

This is a shameful way to treat our fellow citizens who are public servants. This doesn’t make America great.

A victory is a victory apnews.com/article/supr... The Supreme Court won’t allow Trump to immediately fire head of whistleblower office

Sure Trump fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the CNO....but they fired the top JAG's in the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Why would you fire the top lawyers in the armed services at night on a Friday? That's the part you should be freaking out about.

For a US government that hates DEI, it's curious that the Secretary of State is Cuban, the FBI director is Indian, the DNI head is Samoan-Indian, and the President is South African.

More of this! Push it back in his face. Governor Janet Mills speaking truth to power.

PORTLAND: Tesla will be exhibiting vehicles at the Oregon International Auto Show, starting today and running through the end of the weekend. People use this event to survey the market for new vehicles ahead of purchasing, so it's an ideal place to interrupt potential new Tesla sales. #TeslaTakedown

⚡️EU preparing military aid package for Kyiv worth $20.9 billion, Bloomberg reports. The additional military support would supply Kyiv with air defense systems, artillery ammunition, long-range missiles, and drones.

Our look at how the Trump administration is systematically dismantling the government teams that have stopped Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, and others from meddling in US elections: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/b... With @julianbarnes.bsky.social @stevenleemyers.bsky.social

I am going to need some stronger language other than "What the Actual Fuck???" electrek.co/2025/02/21/t...

The Pentagon will fire 5,400 civilian workers next week.
