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...

The pilot physicians involved in this are ... absolutely appalled.

He nails it.

Staffing at the HUD office that pays for housing and support services across the country is slated to be cut by 84%. Advocates warn such heavy cuts could make record-high homelessness even worse.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

ICE w/ machine guns raiding two Denver aptmnt bldgs now. Lawyers on site, broadcasting rights in Spanish via megaphone and trying to verify ICE has valid court orders. Won't link to livestream to protect the protectors. Target; single moms w/ kids who are in the asylum program. @kylec.bsky.social

Accurate.
