It does take Senate Confirmation to officially become the Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff. Just as Tuberville did not long ago, although wrongfully, it may take similar objections at the moment. We're in a very dangerous place. www.thedailybeast.com/trump-makes-...

Modern-Day Peaceful Protest… TikTokers are hunting Cybertrucks—pulling up behind them and projecting anti-Elon Musk messages onto the tailgate. What’s genius: the driver has zero rear visibility & zero idea. The Cybertruck Hunters account launched a week ago and already dropped a dozen videos.

You don't fire Judge Advocates General unless you plan on issuing unlawful orders. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-f...

Making America illiterate again.

U.S. GDP is $29 trillion, EU GDP is $19 trillion. www.usnews.com/news/best-co...

The question isn’t whether Budde was right to speak up. The question is whether the rest of us will have the courage to join her.

Tom Homan is publicly threatening the City of Boston. He says he will rain hellfire on it. It sure worked out well the *last* time an authoritarian government threatened Boston.

Dan Caine, Trump’s new replacement for Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, reportedly told Trump, “I love you, sir. I think you’re great, sir. I’ll kill for you, sir.” He also put on a MAGA hat, despite it violating military protocol.

How long before his pollster gets replaced with someone who tells him what he wants to hear?

Affirmative Action - ❌ DEI Standards - ❌ Black History - ❌ Jim Crow Legacy Admissions - ✅ In truth, "pro-meritocracy" always meant pro-white supremacy. They fear meritocracy. It's why they protect legacy admissions—b/c it majorly benefits unqualified white men while blocking qualified BIPOC & women

"Russian asset."

Federal workers began receiving emails Saturday asking them to describe what they did last week — as Elon Musk warned on social media that, if employees fail to respond, it will be taken as a resignation.

There’s a crucial election coming up in a battleground state: The liberal majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court is at risk. Elon Musk is not only determined to infiltrate every level of the federal government, he’s coming after our local elections, too. We’re not going to let him get away with it.

Boom! 17,000 letters sent to Congress. Help us get to 20,000 letters here: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Law professor @jentaub.bsky.social on my SiriusXM show talked the alarming news that Trump's US Attorney in Wash DC is investigating Democratic Congressman Robert Garcia for simply criticizing Elon Musk youtu.be/3XiZLbCMv0g?...

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

At the Long Beach Tesla Takedown, lots of folks out here (I’d estimate probably 40-50 so far) and lots of support from cars driving by. Come out and join!

The Trump administration is canceling presentations including book talks on important civil rights issues at the Carter Center & possibly elsewhere. Let’s celebrate these authors by buying & reading their books. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/a...

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

(📢) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: The Daily Beast publishes a sourced allegation that Trump has been a Russian spy since 1987 and then—possibly under some form of threat—deletes it. But in an act of unusual heroism, it left it up long enough for Wayback Machine to capture it text. Here it is (please share):

Infuriating! 😡 Don’t Cut My Medicaid! The majority of my son’s medical team are in Austin (1.5 hr drive), some in Houston (3 hrs), one in Dallas (5 hrs). Telehealth appts are needed & necessary! My son has extreme car anxiety, not to mention wear and tear on our car, gas! 🤬 And we’re not alone!

Texas measles outbreak grows to 90 cases, worst level in 30 years

"The best tool we have is public pressure..." @sarajacobs.house.gov on the GOP's majority in Congress. "The more Republicans start to feel this pressure, the more they'll be willing to work with us to stand up to what Elon Musk, and DOGE and Donald Trump are doing."

In our new "It Can Happen Here" video, we review Donald Trump's latest fascist moves, as he and Elon Musk war wage war on the US government to advance both oligarchy and autocracy. For more, check out my OUR LAND newsletter at davidcorn.com.

As historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat writes, authoritarians normalize cruelty to divide and conquer. “Freeing people from the idea that they should respect others as individuals with dignity and autonomy is part of the agenda.”

A silver lining. Good luck, Canada!

NEW: Trump is governing from the Project 2025 playbook and it’s costing us $$

@adamserwer.bsky.social nails it here--the real goals of the attack on DEI. Read and share. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

More GOP waste, fraud, and abuse in service of dear leader.

Listen to @radiofreetom.bsky.social! "Now that Trump has captured the intelligence services, the Justice Department, and the FBI, the military is the last piece he needs to establish the foundations for authoritarian control of the U.S. government."

These people all have actual conflicts of interest that should keep them from working on any investigations like this. It's a measure of how tainted and corrupt this Justice Department is becoming and it breaks my heart. I hope it doesn't break our country. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

It’s not enough that the U.S. is controlled by Nazis. Musk wants this throughout the world.
