Pete Hegseth is about to purge military officers—and make no mistake, this is 100% political retribution. 📌 Sec of Defense Pete Hegseth is planning to fire generals and top officers as soon as this week, per two Defense officials and three Congressional sources. Most of them tied to Lloyd Austin.

Unreal. The US government is dumping Asian and African families and children in random countries that they have no connection to. Dumping, not "deporting." Deportation implies the return of a person to their home country. This is treating people like toxic waste. www.cbsnews.com/news/us-depo...

The robber barons of the 1800s referred to sick, poor and needy people in exactly the same way. Charles Dickens' Ebenezer Scrooge character famously opined "if they would rather die, then they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population". That's the callous vibe Musk is giving here.

A huge decision from Judge Amir Ali, meticulously reasoned and utterly scathing, finding that Trump’s foreign aid freeze is almost certainly an illegal and arbitrary abuse of power. He orders the immediate restoration of all international assistance. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Firing the enforcement ppl is a really big tell. CBO estimates that each dollar spent on enforcement (mostly wages) yields $6 to $9 in avoided taxes. Cutting enforcement is one of the biggest deficit-raising acts one can do. www.cbo.gov/publication/...

Mainstream media's reluctance to label this a coup is a huge mistake. The New York Times editorial board's recent opinion is a joke. They see Trump stress-testing the Constitution, yet they question if we’re in a crisis. This is beyond absurd! www.alternet.org/media-coup/

Slate [Feb 2] -- Purpose of Trump multiple Executive Orders is to "create Jim Crow for trans people" by "fully disenfranchising them from society on a scale not seen since Jim Crow" (e.g., the legal racial caste system mostly in South from Civil War to 1960s). [by @rikiwilchins.bsky.social‬]

We can't afford to have a Director of National Intelligence who prioritizes foreign interests over American safety. Tulsi Gabbard's record is clear: she's a MAGA loyalist who will use her position to help Trump, not keep Americans safe. The Senate must reject her confirmation.

“The New York Times describes Trump as leading “a global wave of hard-line conservative populism.” Rubbish. What Trump is undertaking has nothing whatever to do with conservatism, … Trump is leading a move to replace democracy with oligarchy.
