President Trump's purge at the Pentagon is a major step toward creating an officer corps personally and absolutely loyal to him, @radiofreetom.bsky.social writes. theatln.tc/V6pB4qcF

Great scene in this piece on 19-year-old DOGEbro Edward “Big Balls” Coristine. CNN smart to include even though it doesn’t involve DOGE or Coristine! www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

It feels like a dystopian movie. Not enough is being said about Trump being recruited by the KGB forty years ago. This was at the height of the Cold War. When the Soviet Union was classed as the enemy. Who wanted to destroy America. You’d have to really hate America.

Trump wasn't recruited by the KGB because of his ideology. He was recruited because: 1) He has no values. 2) He is greedy. 3) He is compromised (sexually). 4) He can be manipulated through his ego. 5) His wealth gave him high-level access.

Here we go. #Trump 's decapitation of the #Pentagon has begun. apnews.com/article/trum...

According to the US Food and Drug Administration, a listeria outbreak connected to frozen supplemental shakes has resulted in 38 illnesses across 21 states, with 37 individuals hospitalized and 11 losing their lives. www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/h...

Good morning and Happy Friday to everyone who agrees that if you want people to stop calling your party a bunch of Nazis, then your party leaders should stop doing Nazi things like the Sieg Heil. Did you notsee this coming?

Governor Mills doesn’t suffer fools lightly, and it appears she has even less tolerance for bullies. (And as a former attorney general, she knows what she’s talking about.)

The police misconduct database has been eliminated by the Department of Justice on Trump‘s order. America just became a much more dangerous place, particularly for people of color. As we know that they are disproportionately affected by police brutality. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

This is where the Republican Party is now.

@propublica.org continues to identify DOGE workers. For example, Katherine Armstrong Loving, whose brother runs the crypto exchange Coinbase. Civil charges against coin base were just dropped by the administration. She is identifying EPA projects to nuke for Musk-Trump

A judge on Friday cleared the way for Trump to pull thousands of USAID staffers off the job. U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols removed his temporary block on the effort to remove all but a small fraction of USAID staffers from their posts. #MOMSky apnews.com/article/trum...

The Pentagon is now pausing their mass firing of civilian employees in order to evaluate potential impacts on military readiness. I’m just spitballing here, but maybe a readiness assessment should have been the first step. 🤦‍♂️

#ProudBlue #Voices4Victory These people have NO integrity whatsoever. Scott Curtis, a top ranking FEMA official who took Elon’s resignation deal was fired 13 days later. 4 hours after this article was published, his firing was reversed. Don’t Let Them Screw U www.thebulwark.com/p/musk-doge-...

@libraonfire.bsky.social ty Libra for giving me a chance! I'm SCREAMING at the top of my lungs to get folks to listen! Republicans are attacking and killing kids down here! rumble.com/v6n63kl-repu... @tulsacouncil.org @tulsateresa.bsky.social #trump #musk

NEW: Using the unitary executive theory, the DOJ said barriers preventing Trump from firing administrative law judges were unconstitutional. These judges can currently only be removed by a board protecting federal employees from unfair practices.

When Republicans pass the national abortion bill that nobody is talking about, he will sign it. Expect it to include language that will allow them to take more rights away as they please.

Are congrats in order in a case like this? 🤨
