I am inundated with messages from federal workers who are feeling frantic, furious and fed up after receiving Musk’s email and reading his threatening X post. The psychological warfare is the point.

NEW: The Trump/Musk blitzkrieg aims to destroy government to advance oligarchy & autocracy—and to crush the Democrats & the progressive agenda. It's an existential crisis. Yet so many Dems are missing in action. In my OUR LAND newsletter, I ask, WTF? Pls share. link.motherjones.com/public/38721...

Do you make less than $360,000 a year? Your taxes are about to go UP. And you have Trump, Musk, and the Republicans to thank for it.

By replacing a black 4-star general with a white 3-star general, we are finally bringing meritocracy back to the Department of Defense. by Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump

So the President has abruptly fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Charles Q. Brown Jr., and is replacing him with a retired three star general, Dan Caine. This portends a future grave crisis as the President attempts to restructure the military into one personally loyal to him.

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

Three things that make the U.S. the envy of the world: 1) Professionalized military with strong norm of civilian control 2) Higher education and cutting-edge scientific research 3) Ability to welcome immigrants and attract the “best and the brightest” All three are under threat.

Less than 24 hours after Trump said he would leave some social safety net programs like Medicaid intact, the inveterate liar has reneged. Trump is now backing the House GOP’s strategy calling for finding $880 billion in savings from the committee with jurisdiction…

Yep, DOGE is as incompetent as everyone thought. An $8 million "saving" has been listed as an $8 BILLION saving. That is 14.5% of their total claimed $55 billion in "savings" having been completely made up.
