“The media is toxic! But don’t despair — there’s an answer. It’s Uncle Donald’s Media Detox Pills! They’re on sale now at FBI dot gov!”

btw, i will tell you this - i have been talking to people all day, and the media is missing, whether intentionally or not, how absolutely, volcanically angry the people who have been fired are, not because they lost their jobs, but because their jobs matter, *to us*

Yeah, these federal workers actually understand what they do for us and how devastating these cuts are for us. It'd be great if the media could explain that clearly instead of taking Elon Musk's word that he's magically produced "savings" that come with no downside.

This letter is a remarkable combination of stupid and ominous.

Please please please goad Musk into flying on one of his totally safe rockets.

JFC. He fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. (The same guy, btw, who he made USAF Chief bc of his warfighter sensibilities)

Trump has fired the chairman of the joint chiefs, Air Force Gen. CQ Brown, Jr., five months into a four year term, per WSJ. Brown was the first black officer to serve as chairman of the joint chiefs. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

NEW: A federal judge blocked Trump’s effort to stop funding grants and contracts that have DEI components, saying it is likely viewpoint discrimination and worded so vaguely that it will chill free speech. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

You guys. Colin Powell. Get it together.

A female admiral. A Black general.

Wow, another DEI hire who just has decades of experience and more medals than I can count. Good riddance! www.navy.mil/Leadership/F...

huh wonder why a racist nepobaby would fire an accomplished Black man

Looks like Trump has fired Gen CQ Brown, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff.

Firing all of the JAGs (Judge Advocates General)—the top lawyers in each service branch—is just as bad as, if not worse than, firing (most of) the Joint Chiefs.

FOLLOWUP: SECDEF Hegseth also firing the CNO, the USAF Vice-Chief, and somewhat unusually and ominously to do in the same breath, the senior JAGs of the Army, Navy, and USAF

Firing all the JAGs is very very bad

Judge Advocates General. He’s fired the top military lawyers in each service.

firing for "too much DEI" is plainly firing a woman and a Black man on the presumption only white men can be qualified. this is disgusting biogtry.

WOW "Seven western Wisconsin Republican lawmakers did not appear at an event hosted by the Wisconsin Farmers Union in Chippewa Falls Friday as farmers from the area said they were concerned about the effect that President Donald Trump’s first month in office is having on their livelihoods." ⤵️

Trump again proves he is focused on all the wrong things. These firings put his chaotic, short-sighted decision making norms on full display. Weakening our country by gutting the Pentagon only further demonstrates that he doesn’t put our national security first. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

ARE THERE NO REPUBLICANS WITH A FUCKING SPINE?

By replacing a black 4-star general with a white 3-star general, we are finally bringing meritocracy back to the Department of Defense. by Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump

The senior military officer purges will put our troops in danger. Trump put a part-time airmen incharge of the military, jumping a slew of 3 and 4-stars with 30-40 years of military experience. Our enemy couldn’t be happier.

I assume it’s gonna be Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, and that pillow guy with the concerning twitch

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

"How 'just' is our justice system if people who overtly break the law, harm and even kill police officers and work to thwart our democracy are forgiven with the wave of an executive order’s wand?" Read more about who was pardoned from the Jan. 6 riot.

You see where this is going ….

The wreckage at USAID in numbers

Marco Rubio has instructed USAID to claim this is all a lie.

DID YOU KNOW: As Trump/Musk fire anyone in the fed government that participated in diversity, equity & inclusion, he just nominated Kimberly Richey for Asst Sec Office of Civil Rights at the Dept of Education. During Trump's 1st term, she ESTABLISHED the DEI office people are now being fired from.

wait this can't be right, we have two business geniuses at the helm

AP’s lawsuit names Taylor Budowich, Karoline Leavitt, and Susie Wiles as defendants. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

That would be, of course, illegal.

The Trump-Vance-Musk regime is not only undermining democracy in the US. It is laying the foundation for undermining democracies around the world. The emerging battle will be global democracy vs. a global oligarchy. The US is emerging on the side of global oligarchy.

Here's the AP lawsuit against Taylor Budowich and Karoline Leavitt. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

here is the thing about the “argument” that democrats should have run roughshod over the law when they had the chance: it is much easier to break the law to destroy a program than break the law to create one.

Trump's lies are imperious to fact-checking. This clip is from today.

Met an old lady on line at the pharmacy and she told me “I’m a Christian woman so I don’t say this lightly, I’m terrified that the Antichrist in office is going to steal my social security.”

does this guy know that his social network of choice belongs to elon musk? beyond that, it is so clear that the reason he cannot perceive discourse is that it is not happening in a register he is capable of hearing.

How it started. How it’s going
