A year ago this month, Trump said he would encourage Russia to attack NATO allies and "do whatever the hell they want" unless allies paid up. We thought it was so important, we ran it on the front page of the @mississippifreepress.org at a time when the New York Times and others didn't.

WATCH: “You just said something that’s not true — that tens of millions of dead people are on that list… but the same report you cited said almost none of them have received Social security.” Trump’s Press Sec hides behind saying they “suspect” it, then runs away 🤔

This will make our troops less safe. Again, he's building a significant amount of backlash and stepping on a lot of toes. The Pentagon never created a job if there wasn't a need for it. And why anyone would celebrate people losing their jobs whether corporate or government is beyond me.

Consider... tens, maybe hundreds of thousands of people are losing their government jobs. Jobs that may have taken up to a year to secure. They bought homes, cars, started families. No income now to make payments or feed babies. How does that help our economy?

So the President has abruptly fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Charles Q. Brown Jr., and is replacing him with a retired three star general, Dan Caine. This portends a future grave crisis as the President attempts to restructure the military into one personally loyal to him.

Donald Trump just fired a well-respected General who was Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. And his Administration announced they’re replacing other officers, too. The purge of people of stature and independence goes on.

Donald Trump's hunger for power was clearly displayed Friday in a brief exchange with Gov. Janet Mills (D-Maine). But of course, his "we are the federal law" is a big change from his many, many years of campaigning on "states' rights."

Pay attention to this. Replacing JAGs with loyalists enables whatever orders Trump and Hegseth issue to be interpreted as lawful.

When taking actions late on a Friday night, a government sends a message its trying to pull one over on the public and the media, that it is hiding something or doing something it believes it should not do or will be seen as controversial. That is certainly true in this case.
