Trump’s Pentagon purge has included the top military lawyers. Nobody should be surprised. Dictators politicize the military. Trump wants those with the biggest guns loyal to him, not the Constitution He says he’s demilitarizing it. I call BS. Orwellian to the core. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

To every BS question White House press staff feeds to MSM interviewers abt whether Dems ‘want a shutdown’, ‘are gonna vote for a shutdown’. Of course not. We just need the criminal conduct to stop before we can negotiate if the White House is asking for our votes. Who could disagree with that?

Why are calls to reps and media actions by reps very important? They create the space for the courts to act, their judgements enforced and a chance for public opinion to build against these wanna be tyrants. Keep on calling! Tell your reps to stop this in any why they can! Attend actions locally!

Amidst the chaos and the law-breaking the most important thing to remember/focus on is that they are doing these things illegally because they know they don't have the votes to do it by passing laws, even in a GOP controlled Congress.

This is not just a musing from a dude with some various ideas. The next step is to hollow out the judiciary and also not follow their rulings, which have been against Musk’s efforts. This is a very obvious coup, for those not paying attention.
