Dan Caine, Trump’s new replacement for Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, reportedly told Trump, “I love you, sir. I think you’re great, sir. I’ll kill for you, sir.” He also put on a MAGA hat, despite it violating military protocol.

You fire all the JAGs if you don’t want to be held accountable for your actions. The pattern expands.

This hits hard.

“In some ways that’s even more chilling than firing the four stars,” Rosa Brooks, a professor at Georgetown Law. “It’s what you do when you’re planning to break the law: you get rid of any lawyers who might try to slow you down.” By NYT Greg Jaffe www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/u...

I have identified at least two dozen pardoned Capitol Rioters that are currently attending CPAC in Washington, D.C. —including members of far right extremists groups such as the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers. Updates on Pardon Tracker's interactive visualization: embed.kumu.io/39b5108ec4a0...

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Trump & Musk claim they’re cutting waste, but their priorities tell a different story Jobs or money cut from feeding starving kids, fighting bird flu & protecting the nuclear arsenal—while Trump pushes for TWO new Air Force Ones when what we have now is just fine Fake populism at its finest

America is not gonna go down quietly.

Wonder what Sen. Mike Lee and all the ‘constitutional conservatives’ and ‘limited government’ Republicans make of the GOP president calling himself a “king.” 🤷🏽‍♂️

Acosta: When Trump was out there on the campaign trail, he said, ‘On day one, I’m going to start lowering prices in this country.’ That hasn’t happened. And what is he doing? He’s going to the Super Bowl. He’s going to the Daytona 500. It’s like he’s on the StubHub Rapid Rewards program.

Thank you @govpritzker.illinois.gov!

Lawyers, this is what it looks like to honor your oath as a lawyer and as a prosecutor. I want to lift up Denise Cheung, one of a growing group of senior DOJ lawyers who have put the rule of law ahead of politics & short-term career advancement. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...

Hey Republicans who “love” fake agency DOGE:

"One casualty of the mass firings across federal health agencies are regulators who ensure drugs for pets and livestock are safe and effective." Not even our pets are safe anymore from this Trump Administration. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

3rd day in a row on the golf course while Musk runs the country. He didn’t even know yesterday that the head of the Social Security Admin resigned, and didn’t know SpaceX employees were working at the FAA/DOD, and claimed Medicaid wasn’t being cut when it’s being cut massively.

Chancellor Crystal Hines Martin of Hinds County, Mississippi has issued a prior restraint order so ludicrously unconstitutional it’s only consistent with deliberate misconduct or abject ignorance of the relevant law. Disgraceful and lawless. /1

An unelected, part-time ‘special government employee’ cannot legally circumvent Constitutional authority We can & WILL achieve accountability 👇 - TN

Trump posts a fake Time magazine cover with a crown on his head and a headline calling himself a king, while falsely attacking President Zelensky—who is courageously fighting for his country’s survival—as a dictator. This is sick and disgusting rejection of basic human values.

Good. Stay the course.

It appears that “administration officials are paying lip service to complying with the letter of the court orders while violating their spirit.” The impoundment machinations are elaborate, but courts should be able to see through them. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/u...

Acosta: The reason they’re doing this to the AP is because the AP refused to call the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America—which is the dumbest thing. If you were to make a list of the dumbest things Donald Trump has done as president, renaming the Gulf of Mexico would have to be in the top five.

Oh yes. She was on it. Now, did the 800,000 Polish Americans in Pennsylvania that she referred to vote to protect the interest of the U.S. and Poland? Someone please go to a diner and ask ‘em.

Donald Trump is a Russian asset; it no longer matters if it’s witting or unwitting. He routinely spreads disinformation that originates in the Kremlin and the FSB, and does it to hurt America and our friends. If you support Trump, you have—morally speaking—betrayed your country.

I try to keep the language on here… PG… but in this case i can’t. You, Trump, are a traitorous piece of shit

Windsor ON waitress: “oh, you’re American. Is the English menu ok or would you prefer one in Russian?”

Oh my God if this is true

Law profs warn SCOTUS of collateral consequences in Hampton Dellinger case: Don't put the "Fed's independence in doubt." "Any hint that the United States is abandoning its commitment to [central-bank independence] could shake confidence in the American economy." https://buff.ly/4hLFLC2
