Dear all federal employees, DO. NOT. RESPOND. Default to your union now. Musk has zero official authority in government. Dare him to fire the entire federal government on Monday.

US threatens to shut off Starlink if Ukraine doesn’t sign minerals deal. Starlink is essential for Ukraine’s battlefield comms. This is the equivalent of FDR threatening to arm the Nazis if Europe didn’t sign over half its resources. Extortion. And utterly unforgivable. Hell awaits.

NEW: Trump has fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, the Chief Naval Officer & the second in command at the Air Force. He is also firing the top lawyers in the Army, Navy & Air Force. These are EXACTLY the steps you’d take if you planned not to step down peacefully in 2029.

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

Well done Maine Governor Janet Mills, slapping Trump down with “See you in court!” This is how you do it, stand up to the bully. Trump threatens all her state’s federal funding if she doesn’t comply with his EO on trans people playing sports. He ends with personal insults. Of course.

Powerful. Tomorrow’s front page of the most influential weekly publication in Germany. “BETRAYED. First Zelensky, Soon Us? The radical departure of the US from its allies.”

Feels timely to reshare this from from the 80th anniversary of Auschwitz’s liberation. World leaders lay candles, in silence until spontaneous applause greeted Zelenskyy. Those there knew he is fighting the 21st century’s Nazis. 20 days on, a US regime has sided with them. What utter darkness.

Zelenskyy is one of the few leaders admired globally. Not for the power of his office, but his conduct in it. He is the antithesis of Trump, which fuels a jealous rage. And, like every messianic sociopath, Trump believes he’s untouchable. But, eventually, even the most loyal lapdogs gag.

“It’s time to make a stand. Trump is wrong; the world must say so. He’s taking the US down a disastrous path…favouring Putin’s gangster state over the democracies of a free Europe. He’s standing alongside murder & tyranny against democracy & liberty. His is a historic inversion of America’s destiny”

Despicable. Elon Musk has just suggested Zelenskyy is sending soldiers to die so he can make money. “What are they dying for? I’ll tell you what for. For the biggest graft machine I’ve seen in my life. Poor guys are getting sent into a meat grinder for money.”

Extraordinary story the Wall Street Journal. X is threatening advertisers that if they don’t spend more, Elon Musk will use his influence in government to block company mergers. That’s extortion.

This is Arielle Pines. A military spouse who worked in the Dept. of Veterans Affairs for 15 years. She received exceptional performance reviews. She was fired last week as part of Trump’s cuts. She was a “probationer” as she’d transferred to a new office. One story amidst 1000s of lives upended.

Never in the history of White House briefings has there been an easier question to answer. That this administration won’t answer it is truly damning. Owned by the Kremlin.

Stephen Miller: “No president comes close to what Donald Trump has achieved in the last 30 days.” 100% true. International alliances shredded. Aid agencies shut. Nuclear, aviation & food safety staff fired. Constitution violated. Veterans & farmers betrayed. Foreign policy handed to the Kremlin.
