Let's say their names: * General CQ Brown, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff: FIRED FOR BEING BLACK * Admiral Lisa Franchetti, Chief of Naval Operations: FIRED FOR BEING FEMALE * Admiral Linda Fagan, Coast Guard Commandant: FIRED FOR BEING FEMALE All replaced by less qualified white guys.

Hegseth’s biography is on the left, General Brown’s on the right. Go read these to someone without telling them who they are and then ask them to choose who is better qualified to hold the positions of SECDEF and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Instead of focusing on America’s national security, this man is treating America like a reality show. Firing QUALIFIED military leaders! Playing with our national security! This isn’t a game. crockett.house.gov/media/press-...

I’ve asked it before and I’ll ask it again: where oh, where are all of those strict constitutionalists demanding that the executive branch’s power and reach is limited in their very, very very limited government view?

New day. Those of us who remain (for now) are getting up and carrying out the mission of the IRS. We will go in and to the best of our abilities, process returns, and issue refunds. But I am not going to lie. It was hard to get up and go this morning.

"You think C.Q. Brown will think intuitively about external threats and internal readiness? No chance. He built his generalship dutifully pursuing the radical positions of left-wing politicians, who in turn rewarded him with promotions." abcnews.go.com/amp/Politics...

NEW: On Section 504. "Attacks on any one group will be used as a wedge to attack all of us. You may not personally know any trans people, and you may even be uncomfortable with the idea ... but letting this attack go forward will eventually hurt you and the things you love, too." /1

Former Minnesota Vikings player was arrested yesterday in California. He posted that they took him into custody and then tried to figure out what he was to be charged with. Aren't they supposed to tell you what you're being charged with when they arrest you? Doesn't sound like a legal arrest, even.

I'm a huge fan of Dolly Parton. We're the same age and same height, but she can sing better. We also share the same values, including that every child should have the chance to dream big and succeed. Indiana Republicans should reverse these cuts. www.huffpost.com/entry/indian...

84% HUD staff cuts will cause irreversible harm to towns still recovering & trying to rebuild from recent disasters. Trump is giving tax breaks to his rich friends over ensuring HUD can deliver resources to you. Hear 👏🏾 Me 👏🏾 Clearly 👏🏾 He doesn't care about you!

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank. I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history. Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.

Elon Musk fired thousands of IRS workers in tax season, hundreds of VA health researchers and countless other civil servants doing their jobs. This rampage throws the lives of civil servants into chaos and makes life harder for every American.

Here in Illinois, ten years ago we saw the consequences of a rampant ideological gutting of government. It genuinely harmed people. Our citizens hated it. Trust me – I was elected based in part on just how much they hated it.

So here’s the thing about probationary status: It applies to ANYONE in a new position, not just new-hires. People who switched agencies, people who were just promoted… We’re losing A LOT of good people with needed expertise by targeting probationary employees.

Feds, we chose this path to serve a greater purpose. In these times of cruelty and fear, remember: our work still matters, even when the public forgets. Every life we impact is a strike back against false kings. Stand tall, stay strong, and hold the line. We are needed, now, more than ever.

When I wrote that I was voting for Harris, two of the factors that pushed me from voting third party to voting Harris were Trump's attacks on the rule of law and his reckless position on Ukraine. Harris was right on those issues, and Trump was very wrong. Feeling pretty vindicated right now.

I am so PROUD to know Senator Chris Van Hollen. He has been one of the most vocal members of this 119th Congress. Maryland is so lucky to have him as 1 of their US senator representatives and so is America. Thank you, Senator Van Hollen for fighting for healthcare, Social Security, & for the PEOPLE!

IRS employees are closely monitored when using that sensitive IDRS system. Having a rando DOGE asshat, access this information is a massive failure in protecting Taxpayers. Of course this is a violation of Federal Law. Law is slower than the DOGE idiots.

Musk seems to think he uncovered massive fraud. In fact this is a well-known issue having to do with COBOL programing and the cost of inputting death data for people who died decades ago before records were digitized. oig.ssa.gov/assets/uploa...
