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.

The nature of “shock and awe” is that it makes it hard to see or think clearly. What’s playing out through a veneer of chaos is a deliberate tactical program to create a system in which the President has sole authority over the entire executive branch: www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

Pope Francis is spot on. America's White "Christian" Nationalism is not only devoid of Christ's teachings, but outright rejects them. Jesus said we will know them by their fruits. They chose Trump as their "savior." And Trump is the guy Jesus said NOT to be.

“If FBI agents who are just doing their jobs aren’t free of the risk of political prosecution, then who is? In a country run by a president who has accumulated all power into his own hands, you never know who might run afoul of the leader’s good graces.” joycevance.substack.com/p/kash-patel...

DOGE is not about waste and fraud. This is about gutting government services without any evaluation of their need. Americans have decided to have and fund an effective National Park Service. Trump and Musk are trampling on democracy to do whatever the hell they want.

And what I also notice is that those who don't want to help "our own poor" claim to be followers of Jesus. (Y'know, Jesus? The guy who said to help the poor?)

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

I’m forcing the Senate to vote on an amendment to reverse Trump’s layoffs of thousands of critical wildland firefighters. My colleagues claim to support our first responders. Time for them to prove it.

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com: "Inspectors general are a headache for everyone. You know why? Because they're investigating every agency and they find stuff! Including waste and fraud and abuse! They wouldn't be firing them if they cared about waste, fraud, and abuse."

Last night in my newsletter, Civil Discourse, I used presidential polling numbers to show that Trump isn't inevitable. We can find our way out of this. joycevance.substack.com/p/on-being-i...

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.

Here in Illinois, ten years ago we saw the consequences of a rampant ideological gutting of government. It genuinely harmed people. Our citizens hated it. Trust me – I was elected based in part on just how much they hated it.

Humph. So Trump 45 Made America Great starting with his inept, incompetent response to the COVID pandemic. /s "So many Americans died from COVID, it’s boosting Social Security to the tune of $205 billion." fortune.com/2025/02/19/a...
