President Trump’s purge at the Pentagon is a major step toward creating an officer corps personally and absolutely loyal to him, @radiofreetom.bsky.social writes. theatln.tc/3oq1fmSh

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.

A new bat coronavirus that has the capacity to spread to humans, similar to the one that caused the COVID-19 pandemic, has been discovered by a Chinese researcher. Good thing we are completely prepared this time. www.newsweek.com/new-coronavi...

french far-right leader jordan bardella canceled his remarks at cpac today reason given: “one of the speakers allowed himself, out of provocation, a gesture referring to nazi ideology.”

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."

No doubt last night’s purge reflects racism and misogyny. But those wrongs are just a cover for the far more serious evils and dangers that exist here.

BREAKING: The USDA has confirmed five additional dairy herds in California have tested positive for the virus, raising the total to 732. Currently, 74% of the state's dairy herds are infected with H5N1.

Completely nuts.

We now have a Chairman of the Joint Cryptos of Staff for the military. 🤦‍♂️

Elon Musk is a bandit. And Doug Ford just signed $100 million deal with him. Meanwhile he and Trump are trying to crush the people of Ukraine. Doug Ford says it's the "best bang for the buck." No Doug, this is what vichy collaborators do. Slava Ukraini

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse just coined the perfect term for the abject butt-kissing the genuflecting Republicans perform on Donald Trump: TRUMPSERVIENCE

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

Nicely done, Gov. Mills. This is how you stand up to a bully.

Republican Senators who voted for RFK Jr. have the best healthcare in the world, paid for by you. They don’t care about what’s going to happen to your kids, your parents, or you.

Happening now: protesters are outside the Fine Arts Building on Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago this evening. People are in line to see House of Reps Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries for an event tonight promoting his recently released book. Crowd chanting at them, "we don't need a book tour!"

Senate adopts fallback budget with Trump priorities after “vote-a-rama” stretches into wee hours - POLITICO

James Madison “the separation of powers between the executive, legislative, and judicial branches, for example — made it very unlikely that a tyrant could seize power. If a tyrant did, he would speedily be deposed by the state governments, who would lead the armed people in the militias”

Surprise 😏

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social

While this administration is pushing out daily nonsense, Republicans put out their budget SLASHING Medicaid while giving tax cuts to the billionaires who support their political campaigns. They’re hoping you won’t notice, but WE MUST FIGHT BACK!

BREAKING: USAID contractors/aid recipients say Secretary Rubio and USAID leader Peter Marocco should be held in civil contempt for violating a court order to lift spending freeze.

BREAKING: With two more planes falling out of the sky in Arizona, Medicaid in danger, and prices for eggs skyrocketing, Trump is enjoying his third weekday in a row playing golf with the country in chaos. Imagine the outrage if President Biden did this.
