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...

Decades of sacrifice and work by generations of men and women across the globe up in smoke. Truly tragic. Tens of millions of American voters squandered the legacy of their parents and grandparents for the thrill of racism and “owning the libs.”

Same state where a judge issued a TRO against a newspaper sought by a city council that didn’t like an editorial. But they probably call themselves constitutionalists.

Of course we have to stay on top of this. When newspapers can’t report truth, when editorials can’t opine freely, it is game over for the Fourth Estate. Go Ken, go!

US Attorney in Oregon canned. Got a nice departing press release I guess. 🤷‍♀️

Full story. About 300 in Corvallis

Video up from the protest in Corvallis, maybe about 300 people. Story coming soon.

NYT deeply failing to meet this moment. This is the top item in their The Morning newsletter to millions of subscribers. Everyone who understands government understands that Trump and Musk are crippling essential services & its ability to keep us all safe & healthy & secure—not “cutting red tape.”

You've been murdered: who do you want on the case?

As a proud resident of the Beaver state, this was the story I needed today.

A very good summary

Turned out, the entire country was easier to turn than San Francisco. Kind of surprised all these “smart” guys took so long to figure that out.

Thread 🧵 ⬇️

“If the president names him to the post, the appointment might be the least controversial of any of Trump’s health-related picks” I don’t even know how to process that!

Here’s what’s going on with our local papers. Am I a little weird to be geeking out that the NYT calls out the Oregon papers?

It’s kinda of ironic that Qs thought the deep state used birds as drones and GPS for surveillance … and now we’re here.

Post a gif of a fictional death that devastated you

So basically X is E Corp, yes? But worse, right?

You know how it’s a trope of suspense movies/shows to have an evil cabal really pulling the strings of government? We’re kind of in that now, right? Except it’s all out in the open. With no Boy Scout of a hero to save the day.

Kudos to whoever pounced on this one! Not sure the original plate owner had politics in mind.

We aren’t just living during unprecedented times, we are living during unconstitutional times.

Remember a couple of weeks ago when we said (and we were legally correct) that DOGE can’t be an official government department and that it can only act in an advisory capacity? Yeah, that was cute.

This breach of data makes TikTok look like a cute little video app compared to the dismantling of the government potentially faced. It is not hyperbole to say that if this data fell into the hands of an enemy it could literally bring down our government and in many ways our entire economy.

“ …the water — which was being held for use during the region’s notoriously hot and dry summers — is likely to run through canals and either come to rest in low-lying basins or flow out to the Pacific Ocean.”

This is a must-read.
