It's a Christian nationalist coup. Trump fired the Joint Chiefs chair, Gen. Charles Brown Jr. -- a four-star fighter pilot, and the second African American to hold the job. Trump replaced him with MAGA Gen. Dan "Raizin'" Caine. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

This is General Charles Brown, Jr., Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (highest ranking military officer in the military). He spent an entire 30+ years of service to the U.S. in our defense. Donald Trump just fired him. This is unacceptable.

Voting matters!!! People in the House and the Senate care more about their constituents than Trump does. Members of Congress vote the way their district ALLOWS them to. "Purple" district republicans should be the biggest goal to flip for dems on 2026. Don't wait until 2026. START NOW!!!

📹 Profound fear. That is what FBI agents and their loved ones feel right now. Kash Patel’s confirmation as FBI Director will make that worse. I stand ready to limit the damage he will inflict under the Trump Administration.

When even the New York Post has to publish this, you know you fucked up.

Late night memes. ☕️💙😎

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

Draw Attention to What They're Doing - A very special guest joined me in the kitchen tonight!! Here's the entire interview with @warren.senate.gov youtu.be/MR6i3y5D2bE

This is more than just an American problem. Workers of the world unite. You have nothing to lose but your chains.

"I think there's real risk of a generation or more of data being lost." - Dr. Michael Greicius, neurology professor at Stanford University, on the damage Trump's cuts to NIH research will do to progress on a treatment for Alzheimer's disease, adding as much as 20 years to the timeline.

I feel kind of slow for just realizing this but... "Deep State" is just been a euphemism for "checks and balances."

Today in National Parks News There's a more recent WAPO article but it's pay per view and I didn't want to frustrate the readers. From Vox www.vox.com/down-to-eart...

Here's video of Steve Bannon doing a Sieg Heil today at CPAC. It is what it is and it's what Bannon intended. Don't let yourself be gaslit.

The Trump Administration deletes the nationwide database for reporting police misconduct, an effort that started after the murder of George Floyd. (Under Trump in 2020). It helped prevent bad cops from jumping to new agencies and start over with clean records.

They’re going to try and prosecute their political enemies

Murphy: "There's no separation between the Kremlin & the White House right now. The White House is a full-time Kremlin propaganda operation..there's a real probability American troops are going to have fight abroad to protect the global world order & our allies & perhaps American sovereignty itself"

President Trump calls Zelensky a “dictator,” which we know can’t be true because Trump loves all the dictators. That’s why he appeases and coddles Putin and his filthy imperialist war on the people of Ukraine. History teaches us that we bow down to dictators and tyrants at our own peril.

I’m forcing the Senate to vote on an amendment to reverse Trump’s layoffs of thousands of critical wildland firefighters. My colleagues claim to support our first responders. Time for them to prove it.

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State. H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

Republicans just voted it down.

This is how Mitch McConnell should be remembered: Without him, there’s no President Trump right now—he had the chance to convict during impeachment and end it, but he didn’t. Without him, there’s no stacked conservative Supreme Court—you’d have more rights today.

In 2019, RFK, Jr went to Samoa to discourage people from taking the measles vaccine Vaccination rates for kids plummeted 5 months later, Samoa had a measles outbreak 5,000 people got sick 83 died The measles isn’t coming for RFK But he’s making damn sure it’s coming for every American instead

The good news is that he’s not very popular, the bad news is he is very very very very ensconced

Fear, is not an excuse the American people should accept. apple.news/AIa8NSNMkRgi...

The US is refusing to co-sponsor a UN motion backing Ukraine ahead of Russia's full-scale invasion 3-year mark. The US, under Trump, is joining the axis of evil

“The risks are staggering: identity theft, fraud, and political targeting. Once your data is exposed, it’s virtually impossible to undo the damage.” I can truly say that our government is betraying us and putting all Americans in harms way. This must stop. www.nbcnews.com/tech/securit...

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is booed by protesters as he announces Trump is cutting off funding for high-speed rail between Los Angeles and San Francisco. Instead of dealing with all the planes crashing everywhere, the former “Real World” star is abandoning investments in US infrastructure.

I feel so sick. Enough with the lies, enough with the games. They know exactly what they're doing. This is a neo-Nazi movement. Proudly so. The only reason they've kept it coded up until now was to take advantage of those who didn't want to believe it. No more looking away. Face up to what it is.

Come Tuesday at 10am. Big Day.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.
