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.

does the Republican Party have any idea how weird this makes them look to the rest of the world? I guess they don’t care, and just want to show that they can be as silly as they like and still force others to toe the line.

If we have enough people with the knowledge and moral fortitude of Maine Governor Janet Mills, and the Associated Press- we might be able to save our Democracy

There have never been kings in America. The monarchy doesn't start now.

That’s a great tagline. America is not for sale. (Or at least a part if it) @thebulwark.bsky.social @timmiller.bsky.social @adamkinzinger.bsky.social

AOC: “Elon Musk is not going after efficiency — he is trying to gut everything good in 🇺🇸 for his own private profit… America is not for sale.” Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGXObpu...

I’m asking Congress to provide disaster funding to help Californians recover and rebuild from the devastating Los Angeles wildfires. It’s all-hands-on-deck to support our fellow Americans and get them back on their feet to begin rebuilding as soon as possible.

Nick misses the old days when the Nazis were more competent.

The Trump Administration has cost our country over 22,406 American jobs. trumpcostsamerica.com

AP could have been cowardly and rolled over for Trump. “We had to comply or we’d lose [funding/access/privileges]” like so many orgs are doing. It would have been easy for them to say “gulf of America” But it never stops there. They got the memo. Good job AP.

Trump just ordered the DOJ to eliminate the police misconduct database. Imagine losing your child to police brutality &finding out the officer had a violent history that wasn't tracked. That’s what happened to Eric Garners family. The officer who killed him had many complaints before that fatal day.

“What merit means to them” General Brown’s record, which Hegseth questioned for obvious reasons: www.af.mil/About-Us/Bio...

We are already at the ‘purging the generals and replace them with loyalists’ part of the Trump second term, just five weeks in. Totally normal. Not dangerous at all

FBI told to transfer 1,500 personnel from headquarters: Reports: The FBI told managers that 1,500 personnel will be transferred from the headquarters near Washington headquarters to offices around the country, including around a third being placed in an Alabama office, multiple outlets reported on…

NEW: Trump commands the HHS to terminate a committee on Long COVID. “We need answers of why this specific committee was targeted in light of the commitment made to Long COVID [in Kennedy’s hearing] said @lisamccorkell.bsky.social. thesicktimes.org/2025/02/21/t...

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.

This is getting too close to home and will definitely hurt my family!!! #DontCutMyMedicaid 🤬🤬🤬

The GOP Tax Scam’s “golden age” means the sick go untreated, the hungry go unfed—while the billionaires who sat front row at Trump’s inauguration get richer. This isn’t trickle-down—it’s a shakedown. We fight for people, not profit. #DontCutMyMedicaid

Medicaid is NOT just a safety net, it's a HUMAN RIGHT! 80 million Americans, including kids, moms, seniors, people of color, rural Americans, and people with disabilities COUNT ON IT TO SURVIVE. Republicans want to CUT IT OFF AT THE KNEES? #DontCutMyMedicaid or anything else!!!

Trump’s betrayal of Americans: He promised not to cut Medicaid—now he’s backing a House plan that slashes $880 billion from it. All to fund $4.5 trillion in tax cuts for the rich. He doesn’t care if families drown in debt, as long as he & his billionaire buddies get richer. Don’t Cut My Medicaid!

Over 72 million Americans rely on Medicaid for life-saving healthcare. That’s 72 million people—children, seniors, people with disabilities—who would suffer without it. Don’t cut my Medicaid.

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

Another shakedown: U.S. negotiators pressing Kyiv for access to Ukraine's critical minerals have raised the possibility of cutting the country's access to Elon Musk's vital Starlink satellite internet system, three sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.

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.

"The crowd again started shouting 'tax Elon,' 'tax the wealthy,” “tax the rich' and 'tax the billionaires.'" The county went 68% for Trump www.lagrandeobserver.com/news/local/r...

Macron has just urged the French to join the military reserve. “We are entering a new era”. France will have to spend more on defence. “The threat that Russia represents imposes choices on us” (Live exchange on social media)

Federal workers launch a new site to share inside information about DOGE

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

When the wreckage and dust of what these people are doing to our country has settled and the people have finally had enough to throw these jackals out of office, we will never forget the people who enabled it, despite their protestations they weren’t willing accomplices. Never.

There is a wave of anger building across the entire country. People are already becoming fed up with Trump and Musk. These algorithms can try to hide it all they want, but they won’t be able to avoid reality for long.

Government isn’t a business.

The Associated Press on Friday filed a lawsuit against top White House officials, accusing them of violating the First and Fifth Amendments by denying AP reporters access in retaliation for references to the Gulf of Mexico in its articles.
