This will go down as the Friday Night Massacre of the Military. First the Chairman of the JCS and now Adm. Franchetti, the first woman to become a member of the JCS. Next up the Air Force’s No. 2 officer & the top JAGs for each service. Martial law is coming. breakingdefense.com/2025/02/trum...

General CQ Brown is a patriot and hero. Firing him makes America less safe, but it will help bring about a Golden Age. For Putin.

Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

Ilhan Omar introduced an amendment to make corporations pay their fair share. Instead, the GOP voted it down and have moved along the budget bill that would strip $880 BILLION from Medicaid. Fun fact - that's the ENTIRE budget. #HandsOffMyMedicaid

At what point do leaders in the GOP band together (since they seem to lack courage individually) & say enough is enough? The party of Reagan becomes the tool of Putin if they don’t, especially after last night.

Outbreaks of measles in parts of Texas and New Mexico have sickened nearly 100 people, according to state health officials who warned that the number of cases was expected to rise.

There are four physicians in the Senate and they are all Republicans: John Barrasso Rand Paul Bill Cassidy Roger Marshall If they vote to confirm RFK Jr as HHS Secretary it is a violation of the Hippocratic Oath and they should lose their medical license.

He nails it.

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...

Gov. Mills: I’ll comply with the state and federal laws Trump: We are the federal law. You better do it because you’re not going to get any federal funds. Gov Mills: See you in court

Thanks for having me on your show today, @hartmannreport.com! 🧡 As I said on air, I'm running for Congress because Florida's 1st District deserves better. Our community needs a representative who lives here and puts people over politics. Join us: gayforcongress.com

This starts GayforCongress 2.0! I am the Democratic nominee who ran against Matt Gaetz, and lost, on Nov. 5th, only for him to resign 9 days later so ethics investigation into sex crimes would go away or perhaps AG! My focus remains the same-The people of FL's 1st. Gayforcongress.com

This story needs to be told!

“Texas measles outbreak grows to 90 cases, largest in over 30 years *** Most of the cases are in children between ages 5 and 17.” abcnews.go.com/Health/texas...

Trump pardoned the sentence of arguably the single biggest drug trafficker in American history on his second day in office!

“Ross Ulbricht, pardoned by Donald Trump, was a pioneer of crypto-crime” He founded the Silk Road, “the very first dark-web drug-trading network…Users could anonymously order parcels to their homes, without ever having to encounter a scary drug-dealer in person.” 1/ www.economist.com/united-state...

If we have enough people with the knowledge and moral fortitude of Maine Governor Janet Mills, and the Associated Press- we might be able to save our Democracy

About 50% of his rockets explode in mid air but sure, let Elon "fix aviation"

Another Holocaust-like situation is shaping up right before our eyes. Non-criminals are being sent to Panama...and held in the jungle.

Kash Patel has made it clear: he wants to gut the FBI’s ability to stop domestic terrorism and weaken gun safety laws. Now, thanks to the Senate’s reckless confirmation, our country is less safe. We cannot stand by—we must fight for every safeguard Patel tries to dismantle.

Thank you @govpritzker.illinois.gov. This is what it looks like to act American, to act heroic. We need more American heroes following the leadership example from Governor Pritzker.

When Trump’s tariff plans destroy the economy it’ll be important to remember that 99% of economists told him it would happen
