Completely nuts.

A profile of Adm. Lisa Franchetti, the Navy's top officer, who spent roughly half of her 40-year career at sea, commanding a destroyer, two carrier strike groups and the U.S. Sixth Fleet, & whom current Defense Secretary and former Fox & Friends co-host Pete Hegseth fired tonight.

No doubt last night’s purge reflects racism and misogyny. But those wrongs are just a cover for the far more serious evils and dangers that exist here.

Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.

This will likely upset millions of voters. The government isn’t a business.

Please remember this @abcnewsgo.bsky.social @cbsnews.com @nbcnews.com

Jeffries: Elon Musk has emerged as one of the most unpopular figures connected to the Trump Administration. Trump’s poll numbers are moving in the wrong direction, and it hasn’t even been a month. The real question is: What is the corrupt bargain that has been struck between Trump and Elon Musk?

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

They only care when it happens to them or someone they know. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Acosta: He is, essentially, a part-time president who has delegated the presidency to Elon Musk. And the question folks are going to have to start asking—and I think they already are—is: What the hell did we vote for here?

Works as advertised

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people. And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

Republicans are racing forward with a budget that will raise costs for working families. People will pay more for food, health care, education, and child care – while Republicans plot more tax cuts for billionaires.

It's really this simple, folks.

white nationalist men are too emotional to be in charge

@raskin.house.gov: "The whole anti-corruption crusade is an absolute fraud. They started by decimating the ranks of the inspectors general. These are the people whose job is actually, day in and day out, 365 days a year, to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse in the departments and the agencies."

Go ahead. Let the people see you for what you are.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

If you’re not confirmed by the Senate then you have no business meddling in the lives of MILLIONS of Americans We are suing DOGE for violating the constitution & illegally seizing power I’ll discuss tonight @ 8PM ET on @insidewithpsaki.msnbc.com 👇 statedemocracydefenders.org/fund/new-law...

I'm feeling nostalgic for competence.

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

Donald Trump signed a bunch of executive orders rolling back abortion protections in the middle of the night, hoping that no one would notice. This is — and always has been — about controlling women’s bodies. I’m fighting back.

Meanwhile, so much for “free speech” over at The Bad Place.

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com: “At the Munich Security Conference this week, instead of talking about the war in Ukraine, Vance decided to admonish our European allies for not opening their arms to far-right movements… Putin could not have scripted that speech, or this entire week, any better if he tried.”

It’s quite clear by now that the answer to “why is the Trump administration doing x terrible thing?” is that they are *trying* to dismantle America and destabilize the entire world.
