Listen to @radiofreetom.bsky.social! "Now that Trump has captured the intelligence services, the Justice Department, and the FBI, the military is the last piece he needs to establish the foundations for authoritarian control of the U.S. government."

What a year the last 4 weeks have been! 🤣 Just a few ‘highlights’: 1500 insurrectionists pardoned Threats of tariffs on Colombia Trade war on Canada & Mexico DEI policies cause plane crashes?? Big Ballz & crew raid DC Dark MAGA Musk in oval office No Ukraine at RUS-UKR summit Egg prices

NEW: Public health teams are being gutted by Trump's purge of federal employees, imperiling crucial, lifesaving work. "We are hollowing out our government in a way that is going to hurt people and is going to get people killed." w/ @deldeib.bsky.social: www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Alina Habba, who is ostensibly a lawyer, claims on Fox & Friends that Trump "made the law" with his executive orders (executive orders are not laws -- only Congress can make laws)

"Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob."  —FDR, 1936

Zelensky should just tell Trump the freedom & democracy train left the station, the rest of the free world is on the train, and Trump can either get on the train or not. But no bribes or extortion to get on the train. Freedom & democracy will prevail, with or without the U.S..

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.

Wow. What a reply!

Donald Trump’s firing of military leaders — four-star General Brown and four-star Admiral Franchetti — along with top legal officers is a betrayal of legions of first rate service members who dedicate their lives to our nation’s defense. This is a growing national security risk.

Sure Trump fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the CNO....but they fired the top JAG's in the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Why would you fire the top lawyers in the armed services at night on a Friday? That's the part you should be freaking out about.

Her firing is outrageous.

Sen. Padilla and I will be supporting Governor Newsom’s request for federal aid to recover and rebuild from the Eaton and Palisades fires. To deny it – or place conditions on it – would be to abandon people in their time of most need. People need help. We must act urgently.

🚨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.

Canadians never bend in the face of tyranny. This is our story as a nation, and I am so proud to be part of that story today. Across Canada and the United States the resistance will come from ordinary people. Keep kicking at the darkness until it bleeds daylight. www.youtube.com/watch?v=es5q...

Who's gonna tell Numbnuts about Pearl Harbor

Trump: "I did ask Elon because he knows more about computers than anybody I know. I said, what do you think of the voting system? He said, computers are not meant for voting. It's too many transactions taking place too quickly."

Thank you, Janet Mills. This is how all our elected officials everywhere should be confronting Trump's authoritarian "we are the law" sentiment. Head on.

Translation: That’s a nice country you’ve got there. Would be a shame if something happened to it.

Trump: "We have now hired a couple of the best agencies and we're gonna spend about $150m, maybe $200m, on advertising saying that when you take certain drugs -- the drug fentanyl, etc - it destroys your skin, it destroys your teeth, it destroys your brain...I think we can drop it 50% by doing this"

i mean, that's a protection racket. what he's describing is a protection racket.

When even the New York Post has to publish this, you know you fucked up.

Politics aside, I'm going to do everything I can to make sure my son doesn't turn out like these losers—especially Musk. He screams about masculinity but ignores his 13 kids. His baby mamas have to tweet just to get his attention. Real men protect and provide for their families. Fuck that guy.

More Americans say Trump is a dictator than say Zelensky is

This is in fact a real picture and it will work nicely in the ads next year about the military families devastated by Elon's illegal firings.

Elon Musk is cratering in polls: WaPo: Only 34% approve of Musk's role, 63% worry about his data access CNN: 54% say it's bad Musk was given a big role Majorities disapprove of Trump in CNN, WaPo, Gallup. On the pod, @juliaazari.bsky.social is great on all this: newrepublic.com/article/1917...

NEW: A regional FEMA chief of staff took Elon Musk's Fork in the Road offer. He has proof of receipt. But they didn't honor it. Instead, they fired him 13 days later. Now, this retired Navy captain is speaking out. www.thebulwark.com/p/musk-doge-...
