Also, this is a perfect example of the kind of bureaucratic layer that makes actually doing things in government sometimes hard! Do you a VA nurse spending her time providing health care or writing Elon an email about “What I Did Last Week”?

I no longer have a contact inside Biden land Anyone who does—suggest they host the Eagles for a real dinner (not Big Macs) at their home. Make a big deal of it. Invite Taylor Swift.

It always bears repeating that private shipping companies like UPS, FedEx, and Amazon use the USPS to ship to remote rural areas because they don’t think it’s worth it to do it themselves so it is always a dumb idea to privatize public good.

I’m wearing a medal (of the three that I’ve been honored to receive from the DoD) right now. I’m horrified to hear that the Chair of the Joint Chiefs got fired illegally. This is an actual crisis.

This is a very sad day for our military. There is no reason to fire the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff or any top military leaders other than Trump’s attempt to politicize the military. Replacing these leaders with loyalists in uniform will weaken our military and our country.

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...

Quite a lot of kids will know a fair bit of science. Adults, too. Surely the problem is the tendrils of capitalism's religion reaching all corners of earth? Institutionalised Indoctrination. God save the King. In God we trust. God bless America. #GodIsUnproven #GodIsIllogical #GodIsImpossible

Donald Trump’s firing of military leaders — four-star General Brown and four-star Admiral Franchetti — along with top legal officers is a betrayal of legions of first rate service members who dedicate their lives to our nation’s defense. This is a growing national security risk.

Pay attention to this. Replacing JAGs with loyalists enables whatever orders Trump and Hegseth issue to be interpreted as lawful.

A year ago this month, Trump said he would encourage Russia to attack NATO allies and "do whatever the hell they want" unless allies paid up. We thought it was so important, we ran it on the front page of the @mississippifreepress.org at a time when the New York Times and others didn't.

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.
