General Brown is a brilliant, amazing leader. I worked at the Air Staff for three years and it was known that he read everything the staff wrote for him. He believes if an analyst took the time to write it, it’s his responsibility to read it. Very few generals do this.

Always stand up to a bully

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

It’s a cult.

This is really something

Turns out the Dow doesn’t love it

Canadians are now referring to the United States as the 11th province

When even the New York Post has to publish this, you know you fucked up.

Remember when America had friends? Like a month ago?

Fresh out of prison after Trump’s pardon, Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio was arrested today for assaulting a woman protesting his event.

If someone wanted to destroy the United States from within, would they do anything differently than what Trump is doing right now?

that Trumpers think the US Postal *SERVICE* should be a profit-making enterprise exposes the fallacy in their conception of government

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

Most Americans were vaccinated for a number of diseases as children, but experts said it can be impossible for adults to remember the shots they received decades ago, and in many cases, medical records can be hard to find.

This is happening because Elon Musk tweeted to kill the December funding bill & all the bipartisan health policies Congress negotiated fell apart. Expanding telehealth brings DOWN costs. It makes health care MORE efficient, and it’s SO important for rural patients.

Wow! The number of @bsky.app users just passed 32 MILLION! 👏 LETS DO THIS!

Don’t Cut My Medicaid

How does stopping cancer research make America great? Is pain, suffering, and death the GOP goal?

⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️ Don’t Cut My Medicaid ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

What a finish! What a game! Congratulations to Team Canada. #4NationsFaceOff

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.

Awful: Internal USAID memo instructs employees to refrain from talking to the media about cuts in assistance to the most vulnerable or they may get fired, WaPo reports. Trumpworld knows this is a big political problem for them. Keep the focus on it. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/1915...

Testicles usually drop at around nine months of age. Mike Pence’s took 65 years.

BREAKING: USCP is arresting Enrique Tarrio for swiping his hand at a counterprotester who got in his face.

Word of the day: Twatwaffle

In case you needed more evidence Trump is not serious about lowering costs:   "The worsening outbreak comes as President Trump's administration makes sweeping cuts government staffing and research funding that threatens the country's ability to respond to bird flu..." www.bbc.com/news/article...

America was not discovered by Columbus; it was looted, and its indigenous people were exploited. This land does not belong to Trump or any colonizer—it always was and still is the land of Native Americans!

The Trump economy: Price raising tariffs, cuts to health care, rising inflation, and trillions in tax cuts for billionaires. Trump serves his billionaire donors as he hurts ordinary Americans. amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/02/...

Dear @cnn.com, The judge did not “vacate” the trial. He adjourned it. Then he appointed an amicus curiae to argue against dismissing the charges. Who writes your headlines?

If you haven’t seen this yet, please do. Because this morning something awesome happened that I’m going to say more about soon…. Hint: Georgia…. Town hall. It’s happening…. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/emergency-...

Trump is compromised. But we have known that for a long time.

“It took the Nazis 1 month, 3 weeks, 2 days, 8 hours..to dismantle a constitutional republic. All I’m saying is when the 5-alarm fire starts to burn, every good person better be ready to man a post with a bucket of water if you want to stop it.” -Gov. Pritzker www.americaamerica.news/p/rooting-ag...
