Hegsethā€™s biography is on the left, General Brownā€™s on the right. Go read these to someone without telling them who they are and then ask them to choose who is better qualified to hold the positions of SECDEF and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Maybe the real national security threat is just basic competence?

This is resistance.

Reading Reinhold Niebuhr again is illuminating in these times. For example, from The Children of Light and the Children of Darkness (1944), p. 185: ā€œIf America achieves maturity, the primary mark of it must be the willingness to assume continuing responsibility in the world community of nations.ā€

Kudos to GOP Senator Thom Tillis for calling out Trumpā€™s dangerous policy of surrendering to war criminal Putin. Now, he and other pro-Ukraine Republicans should start using their power as U.S. senators to restrain Trump as much as possible.

More & more headlines like this emerging here in Germany. ā€œWithout America?ā€ The tie between the USA & Europe is loosening & it could scarcely be nicer for Putin. What does it mean for Germany & its neighbours?ā€

Unfortunately I wonā€™t be to DC in time, but this rally for Ukraine is happening in Lincoln memorial. Attend if you can and Slava Ukrainii!

KEEP PUSHING! If they wonā€™t do a town hall DEMAND ONE

Trump and Musk are a living monument to the worst excesses of human natureā€”an exhausting blend of arrogance, ignorance, greed, selfishness, narcissism, and the kind of misplaced confidence that has already fueled a thousand horrible decisions that will ultimately hurt millions of everyday Americans.

Kudos to Governor Janet Mills of Maine this gal had the balls to stand up to that fucker šŸ¤”...in defiance today. I've not seen anything like this yet....WOW!! he was visibly pissedšŸ˜‚

A Manhattan federal judge on Friday banned Elon Muskā€™s team from regaining access to the U.S. Treasury Departmentā€™s most sensitive payment and data systems until the conclusion of a lawsuit that claims the groupā€™s access is unlawful.

Firing 7000 IRS agents will make it even easier for the rich to get away with skirting what they owe. But it's also a gift to the multi-billion dollar tax prep industry. Fewer IRS agents to help you file your taxes means moreĀ money in the pockets of companies like TurboTax.

One month after being pardoned by President Trump for his role in the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, Enrique Tarrio, the former leader of the Proud Boys, was arrested again on charges of assaulting a protester at a bizarre news conference held outside the Capitol on Friday.

Trump's KGB Codename: Krasnov

This AM I have re-posted stories from WaPo, the NYT and NPR. The NYT story has multiple bylines and is a thorough factual debunking of an official government communication. You can argue about headlines and stay mad about past errors or you can realize institutional journalists are doing the work.

200 million dollars of waste.

The Trump administration blocked key parts of the federal governmentā€™s apparatus for funding biomedical research, effectively halting progress on much of the countryā€™s future work on illnesses like cancer and addiction despite a federal judgeā€™s order to release grant money.

A few late entries. Tesla pics also welcome, Scottish golf courses, Panama real estate. Keep em coming folks!

ā€œWhile in this moment of emergency we must fight to preserve the democracy we have, reform & rethinking will be needed to achieve the democracy we want for the future.

My mother's life was prolonged by an organ donor. It's such an important process that touches so many people. Yet the current government is firing people who aim to make it more efficient so it can save more lives. www.propublica.org/article/trum...
