This speech, delivered by President Franklin Roosevelt on January 6, 1941, became known as his "Four Freedoms Speech" due to a short closing portion in which he described his vision for extending American ideals throughout the world (we need to do so here in the USA) www.archives.gov/milestone-do...

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

The senior military officer purges will put our troops in danger. Trump put a part-time airmen incharge of the military, jumping a slew of 3 and 4-stars with 30-40 years of military experience. Our enemy couldn’t be happier.

Trump’s executive order shutting down DEI claims that recruiting diverse applicants “diminishes the importance of individual merit, aptitude, hard work, and determination.” Donald Trump’s war on DEI isn’t about merit.

Don't hold back now.

China seems to have used Llama to build an AI surveillance tool to collect anti-China social media posts, and presumably intimidate at least some of the people who posted them. The power of open weights www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/t...

Precisely.

Oh my God if this is true

OMG this is horrible. Rebecca Marodi, a California fire captain who was targeted by the right-wing as being a “DEI hire” & blamed for the LA fires, has been found stabbed to death. May she rest in power. 💔

A reminder I will be providing at least once a month for all of the remaining years of my life: Months before the 2024 election, the Department of Justice announced that there were at least six hundred Russian assets inside the United States and that some...were SITTING MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.

With all due respect, Congressman, he’s not trying to distract from anything here. He’s a grandiose pathological narcissist. A narcissistic sociopath. A malignant narcissist. A psychopath. A megalomaniac. This is what he thinks of himself. And what he wants others to think of him.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

Our government is being dismantled in a fast-moving coup because a bunch of ostensible adults are afraid of mean tweets from a spent 78 year old skin bag who wears Oompa Loompa makeup.

I’m having great difficulty right now seeing how our political system doesn’t devolve into violence.

Here's a list of DOGE staff, assembled and annotated by my colleagues at BI. Whatever you do, please don't share it. www.businessinsider.com/doge-staff-l...

You can’t make this shit up.

“If no lawyer within earshot of the President is willing to give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.” Damn. static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics...

A Secretary of Defense who knew what he was doing would have read that speech before he gave it and then made sure to coordinate with the White House and NSC before reversing some 80 years of U.S. policy and leaving Europe in the lurch while the biggest war since the 1945 was underway.

Happy Valentine’s Day 🐈🐶💗

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Seven federal prosecutors resign rather than obey order to dismiss case against Eric Adams for what appear to be political reasons. I'll discuss with @katiephang.bsky.social at 11 pm ET on MSNBC.
