We are arms dealers to terrorists.

Sean Duffy Booed. And rightfully so.

🫡🇺🇸 "Americans do not swear an oath to a king, a tyrant or a dictator. We swear an oath to the Constitution and the idea of ​​America, for which we are willing to die," — Mark Milley ❗️He said that every US military member gives his life to protect the Constitution, not to individuals.

The Russians were terrified of this guy and rightly so—and right now I guarantee you they simply can not believe their luck

The purge of senior officers who have served with distinction on the battlefield and off should send a shiver down the spine of any American who cares about an apolitical military.

I heard someone compare Trump’s mass firings to him being a bull in a china shop. I disagree. Trump is a like a bull in a VA hospital. Trump is like a bull in an assisted living facility. Trump is like a bull in an Alzheimer’s research center. Trump is like a bull in a NICU.

None of this has anything to do with effectiveness, or “lethality,” or promoting “warfighters," or any other buzzwords. It is praetorianism, plain and simple, and it is an assault on our military and our democracy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

Listen to this audio of Trump with Kilmeade at Fox. He's just talking over him blaming Ukraine. What a stupid man we have running the country!

Regardless of how much coverage it gets, Trump aiming to install a military command that places loyalty to him above loyalty to the constitution needs to be a much bigger story.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

When I see Steve Bannon doing a Nazi salute to cheers it means only one thing: 420,000 U.S. troops died defending our country from Nazi assholes and 77 million people voted for them to be in power. MAGA betrayed our country voting for this nightmare.

Good morning and Happy Friday to everyone who agrees that if you want people to stop calling your party a bunch of Nazis, then your party leaders should stop doing Nazi things like the Sieg Heil. Did you notsee this coming?

NEW: The Associated Press is suing Trump Administration officials in federal court for banning AP reporters from events over the organization continuing to use the name 'Gulf of Mexico.' AP says the ban violates the First and Fifth Amendments.

If we have enough people with the knowledge and moral fortitude of Maine Governor Janet Mills, and the Associated Press- we might be able to save our Democracy

If you didn't know... • Exxon • Moulton/Coors • Walmart Have funded Heritage Foundation (#Project2025) for YEARS #Boycott

Today’s cover of the Murdoch-owned New York Post

Governor Janet Mills wasn't having Trump's bullshit today at the White House. youtu.be/yEmXfX_4hgo?...

He is a thug.

Trump’s illegal threats to take away federal funding from Maine are a direct attack on state’s rights. He’s using federal funds as a tool to bully states into doing his bidding. This isn’t how democracy or policy works, it’s blackmail. Maine will fight & win this gross abuse of power. 🤬🖕🏼

One hopes these flagrant threats crystallize the constitutional logic against impoundment

Putinization of America

Remember when America had friends? Like a month ago?

This poor man has stepped up more than any other leader has in the last 50 years...

Wow! Even Rupert Murdoch has had enough of Trump's full frontal assault on Ukraine & odd almost romantic embrace of Putin. If Rupert orders the evening lineup on Fox-N to speak the truth & call out Trump lies, that might just be the beginning of the end of Trumpism.

The world must really be ending if I'm agreeing with the New York Post of all things.

It’s a full fledged government takeover folks. There’s no other way to look at it. There will be no more mail-in ballots. Because they have no intention of ever leaving. #Resist www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

When Democrats take Musk to court for dismantling the govt work force this should be Exhibit #1. He claims there is waste fraud and abuse and is rooting it out by careful deliberation. Dems can claim that he is taking a chain saw to it with no thought to the consequences.

Kash Patel, just confirmed as FBI director, reposted a social media post that showed an AI-generated video of him chainsawing off the heads of Trump’s political foes, including Schiff, Cheney, and Fauci. This is far more threatening than what MAGA-ite Ed Martin has cited. Will he investigate this?

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

Reminder: Zelenskyy refused to leave Kyiv as bombs fell. Donold hid in a bunker from protesters with cardboard signs.

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.
