Multiple U.S. officials tell CBS News that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has issued a directive to U.S. Cyber Command to pause planning against Russia, including offensive digital actions. https://cbsn.ws/41lPPdR

The rallying cry means, "Glory to Ukraine." cnn.it/3F36vPN

Rather than boycott President Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress, some Democratic lawmakers are inviting former federal workers to the speech on Tuesday as a way to protest the mass firings and funding cuts that have defined Trump’s first month back in office.

Another strong woman speaks the TRUTH…

Chuck you forgot to mention that Hegseth just told DoD cybersecurity to stop investigating Russian attacks against us. Why? Is Donald surrendering US digital security to Russia?Probably. After all, Elon already has his minions in every data bank in the government, so digital security is no more.

The US has suspended operations and planning for offensive cyber operations against Russia, a senior US official told CNN.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The head of a federal watchdog agency must remain in his job, a judge in Washington ruled on Saturday, saying President Donald Trump’s bid to remove the special counsel was unlawful.

If DOGE is a federal agency, it can’t shield its records from the public. If it’s not an agency, then its tens of millions of dollars in funding weren’t legally allocated and should be returned, some contend.

This article might dampen your weekend mood, but it's a must read. The situation in the US government is already dire, but trying to comprehend what comes next is even more unsettling.

Zelensky found out what it was like to be a US governor in a blue state asking Trump for medical supplies during the pandemic. Or disaster relief after a wildfire or storm. It’s not his money, but he fully expects you to beg and plead for it and tell him how wonderful he is.

“Art of the Deal,” huh? Trump is either a horrible negotiator, or he’s just intentionally giving Putin exactly what he wants.

The Trump admin may not be familiar with "facts," but here are a few: - The suicide rate for veterans is ~1.5x higher than it is for nonveterans - Since 988 launched 2.5 years ago, the Veterans Crisis Line has had a 22.7% increase in calls - Since last summer, the VCL received > 1.6 million calls

FAA safety investments have had consistent bipartisan support in Congress. Sec Duffy says no critical safety personnel were fired but FAA staff covering Hawaii’s classified early warning radar system, vital for detecting incoming cruise missiles, were let go. We need to invest in safety, not cut it.

I've long been a critic of Pentagon spending. I agree that the Pentagon could spend its money more efficiently. However, let me be clear - Trump and Hegseth are not offering a plan that keeps Americans safe.

Gen. CQ Brown is one of the most forward-thinking, intelligent, and impressive officers I've ever met - that’s not a partisan opinion. Removing him with no justification bc Trump hopes the new person is a MAGA loyalist is yet another example of POTUS's dangerous intent to politicize the military.

On the 3rd anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the Trump admin marks the occasion by siding with the aggressor. No further reason to doubt that Trump is Putin's puppet now. www.cnn.com/2025/02/24/p...

The bottom line is that you can't have a democracy if the military - the guys with the guns - are controlled by and loyal to a specific political leader.

Found quite a bit of waste, fraud, & abuse we can cut: In his 2nd term, Trump's golf trips have already cost taxpayers an estimated $10.7 million. During "Trump’s first term, his golf expenses totaled $152 million over four years." Not to mention his boondoggles to the Super Bowl and Daytona 500.

"I was a fan of Amazon for a long time, I think they have a good product. But I’m just so disgusted," says Lauren Bedson. It’s a sentiment that many Americans have been feeling.

President Musk, here are a few things I did last week. I encourage everyone else working tirelessly to keep the country afloat during these chaotic times to email their updates to [email protected] as well. I’m sure they’d appreciate hearing from as many of you as possible!

🚨 Trump & Musk’s budget plan: Slash education, food aid & healthcare—while handing the rich a $4.5T tax cut. Kids, the poor, even military families will pay the price. 🙃 adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/the-grinch...
