Am I the only one who thinks all these ex-officers should form their own army? Like, imagine a squad of retired generals debating strategy over brunch. Canada, you got a cozy cabin for them to plot world domination—err, I mean, plan community service?

This is a shameful way to treat our fellow citizens who are public servants. This doesn’t make America great.

How does firing Americans help make America great again? Cutting 5-8% of the workers is unproductive and harmful to our economy and society. This is just simply reckless and unsustainable. www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

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.

This morning, my colleagues and I stood in front of FBI headquarters to make it clear to everyone who wants an FBI focused on violent crime and not on political retribution: Kash Patel would be a disaster as FBI Director.

Trump and Musk’s “pointless bloodbath” at the FAA is even worse than you think. The Trump administration fired several FAA lawyers tasked with helping keep reckless and drunk pilots out of the skies — and officials are baffled.

At 3am, Republicans had an opportunity to keep their promise to our nation’s veterans and pass legislation to guarantee no cuts or delays to health care benefits we secured for toxic-exposed service members. They voted it down.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

Kash Patel’s confirmation to head the FBI is quite a contrast to what happened with Richard Nixon’s first pick, L. Patrick Gray, who Congress rejected for being to partisan & too close to the president—the same characteristics Patel possesses. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

The Rehabilitation Act of 1973 was signed into law by President Richard Nixon in September of that year. Section 504 of that act codified the civil rights of persons with disabilities. Overturning this will not help children, nor will it help schools.

Good morning and Happy Thursday to everyone who agrees with General Milley that Americans do not owe our allegiance to a King, Queen, or a wannabe dictator. We owe our allegiance to the Constitution. Fuck the nonsense trump says about being a king.

Headlines like 'narrowly confirmed' are zero comfort when the stakes are this high. A 51-49 vote puts Kash Patel, a staunch Trump loyalist, in charge of the FBI. Independence is at risk, and the bureau may soon serve political power instead of justice. Dangerous times ahead. #FBI #Democracy

I've read most of the analyses of the DOGE 2025 "receipts" site. This, from NPR, is the best I've read so far. Some of what they claim to have cut haven't been cut, other "cuts" will incur costs down the road. NPR says DOGE has made $2B of cuts, not $55B. www.npr.org/2025/02/19/n...
