Today I am deeply ashamed of my nation. That we--the citizens who did not work hard enough, the citizens who did not vote, and the media that did not warn--allowed this surrender to fascism and betrayal of our allies is disastrous.

NOAA is an absolute mess, and it’ll be worse tomorrow. Please help us. There have already been over 1,000 terminations. It’s not just layoffs—Elon Musk and his staffers are trying to completely dismantle us. Today, there were tons of firings, and more are coming tomorrow.

Title 10 lays out who is eligible to be CJCS: must’ve served as Vice Chair, a service chief, or a combatant commander. The president can waive this requirement in the interests of national security, but the message that sends to mil ldrship is: I don’t trust a single one of you to be chair

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...

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

"Hochul is dithering about whether to use her powers. AOC, in contrast, exercised her 1st Amendment rights to inform her constituents about their 4th Amendment rights. In doing so, she showed that the administration is tyrannical. She also showed that it’s weak — if you’re willing to confront it."

Pay attention to this. Replacing JAGs with loyalists enables whatever orders Trump and Hegseth issue to be interpreted as lawful.

I'm curious about this part of DOJ's request to drop the Eric Adams case. Did he lose his security clearance just because he was charged or because the government concluded he was taking bribes from a foreign government? DOJ doesn't say how dropping the charges fixes the security risk.

this would probably f with Trump's stranglehold on the media's attention, but they'd have to do long slow grinder work to get there. takes money and time, and has to interface with IRL factors including organizer work, on-the-ground realities, present narratives, etc it's interesting.

And for the third straight day, the rest of the legacy media did nothing to stand up for the First Amendment. No boycott, no walkout, nothing but business as usual. Then, they wonder why people are canceling subscriptions and turning off their TV's while independent news outlets are thriving.

In a sign that his electoral coalition might be weakening, a group of Black pastors urged Eric Adams to not seek re-election after the Trump DOJ calls for the mayor’s corruption charges to be dismissed: “NYC needs and deserves a mayor whose priority is the people he serves,” wrote the four pastors.

Trump directing his DOJ to drop corruption charges against Eric Adams because Adams kisses his ass and amplifies his xenophobic bullshit should be a huge scandal. Would be with any other POTUS, but it’s like a gish gallop of corruption with this regime so a one-day story.

One of these days we're gonna have to reckon with the fact that "money that I spend which does not directly benefit me is a waste" is a popular sentiment. I think we should state plainly that this is selfish on its face. And stupid when you have awareness which extends beyond your nose.
