CARTOON OF THE DAY

Hegseth says firing of top military lawyers was about making sure "they don't exist to be roadblocks to anything that happens."

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees. Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law Time to do things that make him react to you. apnews.com/article/trum...

“A video shared by Tarrio on social media on Saturday showed him following the officers, Michael Fanone, Harry Dunn and Aquilino Gonell, through … a Washington hotel that was hosting the Principles First summit, a conference where one of the officers received a ‘profile in courage’ award.”

@petermorley.bsky.social Medicare ending telehealth services March 31st 2025. Help!!! Some seniors with disabilities cannot drive miles, wait an hour for a 10 min appointment. It makes economic sense to continue telehealth covered by Medicare telehealthresourcecenter.org/resources/th...

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

WATCH: “You just said something that’s not true — that tens of millions of dead people are on that list… but the same report you cited said almost none of them have received Social security.” Trump’s Press Sec hides behind saying they “suspect” it, then runs away 🤔

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.

The message that I would like us all to continue to drive home is that NONE of the madness we are seeing now was going on 2 months ago. NONE OF IT. Only ONE thing changed. REPS took power. THey own this global chaos. It’s all on them. DRIVE THE MSSAGE TO THE MASSES

People are 10x more likely to post about something they dislike, or were angered by. Online sentiment to well-meaning / bigotry-free projects can seem to be skewed negatively, even if the majority enjoyed it. So if you watch a film or TV show that you loved, let the cast & crew know and say so too!

Was thinking along these lines- in college, I couldn’t wait to see if there was a letter in my campus mailbox!

another great example along with Wired and Teen Vogue of how real journalism these days can be a lot braver at outlets where no one is trying to get in good with the White House press secretary they’re out here with us, reporting on what’s happening to us all, instead of trying to get inside access

The police misconduct database has been eliminated by the Department of Justice on Trump‘s order. America just became a much more dangerous place, particularly for people of color. As we know that they are disproportionately affected by police brutality. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

It's no coincidence that Musk's companies are soaring in value as the regulatory agencies that were investigating or suing them are being gutted. The DOGE agenda isn't about "efficiency" — it's about Musk freeing himself from any accountability so he can line his pockets.

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.

Imagine disrespecting Dolly Parton like this Dolly sends out millions of books every year thru her Imagination Library program. Indiana Republicans want to end Dolly’s childhood literacy campaign by revoking their 50% matching funds. Dolly gives to those in need. Republicans give to billionaires

To my many friends who still live in Louisiana: Sen. Bill Cassidy voted today to pass RFK Jr out of committee despite real reservations. I believe the Senator had his arm twisted. Please *call his office* and let him know you are a constituent and will support him voting “no” on the floor vote.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

I assume at some point we are going to get to see actual hard proof submitted in a sworn affidavit, grand jury indictment, congressional testimony, etc that millions of people are defrauding trillions from Social Security? Or is it just going to be social media posts & TV hits?
