What I Accomplished Last Week: 5 Bullet Points for My Boss 1. Pondered the great question of our time (“Who is the administrator of DOGE?????”) 2. Read some court filings that did not reveal the DOGE administrator’s identity 3. Asked Elon Musk to tell me who the administrator of DOGE is (no reply)

Here’s what is going on. When you start firing the military’s top lawyers, that means you are getting ready to order the military to do unlawful things. Trump replaces those JAGs with men who will justify any future unlawful and unethical actions that he wants the military to do.

A 4 Star General, a fighter pilot with 3000 flight hrs, 130 of them in combat. Commands in Asia, Europe and the Middle East. Yes. A Black man. Too “woke” for this administration because he thought we’re stronger together: Choose Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Accessibility over power mad dividers.

The most notable thing about this clip from the president's address to the governors is the way Maine Gov. Janet Mills stood up to Trump. And the second most notable thing is the absolute stone-faced silence from the other governors in the room. www.c-span.org/clip/white-h...

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...

This is very, very bad. Am working on a write-up, but let’s just say that firing military leaders for blatantly political reasons is wildly inappropriate; firing all the too lawyers is ominous; firing them all at the same time is a terrifying five-alarm fire

Doing this right before firing three top military leaders is so deranged. Source at DoD told me, “Disdain for Hegseth is a near-universal feeling even among the Trumpiest in the office.“

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.

Jessica: There was a huge drop in support for President Trump and for Elon Musk. Trump’s approval rating is down 5-7 points across four of these big polls. He’s underwater on managing the economy by 8 points. Did you see those town halls? Rich McCormick were booing him.

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

It’s been a long fucking day, I’m tired, and I misspoke. Let me rephrase it in a more correct way. Fuck Hakeem Jeffries and almost every other elected Democratic official for forcing me to be the one to get arrested instead of them doing their goddamn job and being leaders.
