Trump has ordered the shutdown of the first nationwide database tracking misconduct by federal police officers. The closure ends the National Law Enforcement Accountability Database — a resource experts said improved public safety by preventing bad officers from jumping from agency to agency.

We DID NOT take an oath to a king or wannabe dictator, we swore to defend the United States Constitution. We served our nation, not one man!

Politics aside, I'm going to do everything I can to make sure my son doesn't turn out like these losers—especially Musk. He screams about masculinity but ignores his 13 kids. His baby mamas have to tweet just to get his attention. Real men protect and provide for their families. Fuck that guy.

Elon Musk just had the Community Note removed from the clip of his interview with Trump that went viral on X. The note pointed out that Musk lied about having to rescue astronauts because Biden supposedly abandoned them.

Trump looks weak and erratic—selling out to Russia, attacking Zelenskyy, and throwing workers under the bus. Markets are rattled, his approval is crashing, and his MAGA cronies are overstepping. Watch the MeidasTouch Podcast live at 8p ET/5p PT!

Friday March 14th, Veterans March on Washington DC. Non-vets are absolutely welcome, and encouraged. Time for the veteran community to loudly protest and remind the government we swore an oath to defend the country and the Constitution. Also, fuck kings and tyrants. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGnj...

BREAKING: A cadre of largely unidentified actors in the so-called Department of Government Efficiency are controlling major government functions with no real oversight or transparency. We're suing to force them to comply with the law and turn over records by March 10.

Thanks to Donald Trump and Elon Musk, firefighters who just finished weeks of around-the-clock shifts fighting dangerous fires were given a note from their Commander in Chief: "Please quit." That’s a hell of a way to say thank you.

The Trump post office takeover story has this extraordinary line: "according to six people familiar with the plans, who spoke on the condition of anonymity out of fear of reprisals." That shit sounds like it's out of some totalitarian regime, not the United States. wapo.st/4309Ysp

The key point that was made in this clip is that it happened organically. We don’t come from the consultant class, we get zero legacy media hype, we don’t get invited on shows & don’t want to be on TV, no big money donors writing checks. It all happened one person at a time. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

🚨Trump & Musk are gutting the federal workforce—and screwing over Veterans in the process. Veterans make up a third of federal employees. Now they’re getting fired so these guys can tear down the government and hand power to their billionaire buddies. Democrats are fighting back. This can’t stand.
