“In some ways that’s even more chilling than firing the four stars,” Rosa Brooks, a professor at Georgetown Law. “It’s what you do when you’re planning to break the law: you get rid of any lawyers who might try to slow you down.” By NYT Greg Jaffe www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/u...

This gets my vote for tweet/post of the year. This is a RED ALERT post. This is exactly why he’s doing it.

He nails it.

Promoting an 0-9 to Chairman of the Joint Chiefs is insane - Trump is going to have to promote him to four star AND waive the legal requirements to even hold the position Dan Caine had a distinguished career, but he’s never been a vice chair, combatant commander or service chief

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

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

Elon Musk attacked me on the platform he owns. I will not back down from the fight for democracy. @briantylercohen.bsky.social and I discuss. I hope you watch. youtu.be/XsR4QzK4yZ4

“I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.” Recipient of two bronze stars and a Chief Justice Roberts clerk.

60 MINUTES: “Utter nonsense. The most accountable aid agency in the world is USAID… DOGE fired their top 58 officials within an hour of arriving…” This was never about efficiency. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGLXa9r...

Friends, we're ok I'm on my way to the office It's a real winter here We're warned about the power outages out of schedule So my flashlight is in my bag We've a good generator and charging station at our office We all are ready Have a great week ahead everyone ❤️🇺🇦❤️

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

Hey @JDVance, and @elonmusk, and @realDonaldTrump it looks like the Auschwitz Memorial wants to educate you. STOP LYING TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

How do y'all like the new Constitution Trump is drafting so far? @walshfreedom.bsky.social unpacks what's in and what's out! @thebulwark.bsky.social 🎧 pod.fo/e/2ac9a2 📺 y2u.be/u-PFsqE5GZg

📌URGENT: The Associated Press is one of the foremost news operations in the world. Without it, most media entities could not survive. 📌Well, the AP has now been barred from the White House. I'd suggest very strongly that any media that gets its news from AP takes a damn stand here in solidarity.

inflation is rising gas prices are rising egg prices are rising the only thing falling is our democracy

An amazing resignation letter to Bove from an AUSA who worked on the Adams case. Money quote: “I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

Proud of prosecutors in SDNY and Washington who resigned rather than carry out DAG Emil Bove’s order to dismiss indictment against NYC Mayor Eric Adams. Integrity > politics and careerism.

Associated Press: “Today we were informed by the White House that if AP did not align its editorial standards with President Donald Trump’s executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, AP would be barred from accessing an event in the Oval Office.“

Elon Musk, the world's richest man, is securing real beneifits as he helps Trump disrupt the federal government. Just how? The NYT takes a deep look today at these benefits: federal investigations targeting Musk companies that have been disrupted or now may die. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/11/u...

@radiofreetom.bsky.social reacts to how President Trump is seriously thinking about making Canada a U.S. state "What kind of president sits around, having these kind of thoughts, especially when there are so many other problems here at home and around the world" #SundayShow

Chelsea Clinton on misinformation and disinformation (lies) that she and her family personally benefited from USAID funds.

This is probably only one of only two, maybe three halftime shows ever which actually have an artistic point of view beyond “here are my greatest hits”. It’s already extraordinary.

Wokest Superbowl ever. Gaga, NOLA culture, Trombone Shorty, Terrance Blanchard, … two Black quarterbacks and Kendrick Lamar, plus my line sister @ledisi.bsky.social singing the Black National Anthem. This is actually amazing and I love it ❤️

Samuel L. Jackson making an appearance during Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show was everything.

Ron Howard FTW 🎯

Needed this so much right now. I just called out the fact that Kendrick Lamar carried that red, white, and blue theme through. He owned it! My fam knew what that meant. THEY don’t want us here, but they do not own the flag. “Not Like Us”

Vengeful Trump has suspended Mark Zaid's security clearance, since he defends people Trump wants to attack. threadreaderapp.com/thread/18883...

They want obedience or resignation. @radiofreetom.bsky.social: "But like Trump, Musk also appears to just detest people who work in public service. Both men resent govt agencies for 2 important reasons: They do not own these public institutions, & the employees do not instantly obey their orders."

The stunning cowardice of the Republican Party in this moment will go down in the history books. They simply gave our government to a billionaire and cheered as it burned.

Outrageous.

If my taxes paying for food stamps means a few “scammers” fall through the cracks but a mother & baby are fed, I’ll sleep like an angel for the rest of my life

We know what’s going on here.

"The United States is in a constitutional crisis" Agree: 54% Disagree: 27% Unsure: 19% YouGov / Feb 6, 2025 / n=1106

Tesla paid $0 in federal income tax last year. 2022: $0 2021: $0 2020: $0 2019: $0 2018: $0 Tesla reported $6.7 billion in profit in those years.

Making sure everyone understands: Afrikaners—Elon Musk’s people—built, enforced, and thrived under the apartheid system they created. Not just “white-ruled segregation”—it was systemic racial oppression to keep the white minority in power. They don’t deserve refugee status—they were the oppressors!

Judge Amy Berman Jackson has formally dismissed the case of Jan. 6 defendant DJ Rodriguez, who drove a taser into the neck of MPD officer Michael Fanone and had been sentenced to 12 years in prison "Michael Fanone's heroism will never be moot," she says. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...
