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.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

I'm about to drop a piece at The Atlantic on this Pentagon purge. As I warned, Trump is capturing Justice, Intelligence, the military. This is praetorianism, pure and simple.

The updated count of measles cases in Texas now stands at 90, increased from 58 three days ago. Of these cases, 77 (86%) are children, 85 (94%) overall are unvaccinated, and 0 (0.0%) have been mentioned by RFK Jr. the Secretary of HHS. He’s far too busy casting aspersions on vaccines.

People need to understand this: Trump did not leave office willingly the first time. If his health holds up, he will not leave office willingly this time. He is not joking about serving more than two terms.

In addition to Congress being the place that makes the laws, pretty key thing, the constitution explicitly says Congress gets to create the postal system. It’s not left implied that that comes under law making generally. The President has no power to unilaterally abolish it and move it to commerce.

Did you know that Medicare does NOT pay for long-term care. NOPE. 2/3s of longterm care for your parents is paid by MEDICAID. If you want Medicaid cut, your parents wiil need to move into your house when they need long-term care & YOU will be providing it.

The GOP Senators have sealed their fate. By voting in Patel, they can never act against Trump. Patel will investigate them, their business interests, their finances--HOW COULD THEY BE SO STUPID?
