What you need to understand in this moment is that if this is how hard Musk & Trump are f^cking with the American people only a month in you wont recognize this place in a year. Bet on it. Or stop it now. F’n FIGHT.

“They know what they are doing is deeply unpopular. They are offering a tax cut to the most wealthy that is 850 times larger than what they are offering working people.“

Brilliant but devastating editorial in the Financial Times. “In the past 10 days, he [Trump] has all but incinerated 80 years of postwar American leadership. If you are not at the table, you are on the menu. America has turned.”

Keep putting pressure on Congressmembers, Ds and Rs. They're all back in their districts the week of March 17. Call and email their offices to schedule your in-district meetings now.

Here’s my prediction for DOGE: Whatever minimal amount of money it may possibly save in the short term will be far exceeded by the ultimate cost of fixing all of the problems it creates. It’s already an epic failure.

He might not be their best T-ball player, but this kid's got some moves!

The week in review:

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

There's going to be news about a woman illegally detained and being forcely removed from a Coeur d'Alene Idaho Town Hall meeting taking place at the high school by men that would not identify themselves wearing plain clothes because she opposed the republican viewpoints. youtube.com/shorts/hhJdH...

Musk has tweeted more than 220 times in last 24 hrs. That's not counting the replies.

Who is Dan Caine? 3-star gen. who claimed ISIS could be defeated in 1 week

Donald Trump is a rapist. He doesn’t care if you’re a female or a foreign country.

You don't fire the military lawyers (JAG) and the Chairman of Joint Chiefs if you aren't planning on pushing your "Commander in Chief" status to the limit. Let's hope there are soldiers who will uphold their oath since our leaders aren't.

Let's go!

These people are fucking terrorists and should be treated as such!

Remember when having a really old president and questioning his mental acuity was front page news everyday for months?

Bertrand Russell on the start of fascism: "First, they fascinate the fools. Then, they muzzle the intelligent."

NEW — 19-year-old DOGE engineer Edward Coristine turns out to be the grandson of former KGB spy Valery Martynov, who played a role in a sprawling 1980s espionage saga. www.jacobsilverman.com/p/prominent-...

🚨This is a disaster.

As government workers get Micro Mind Moscow Musk’s email they should REPLY ALL when responding and mocking him.

The resignation of a federal employee must be voluntary. I highly doubt failure to respond to this email---sent on a Saturday---would be understood by any court to be a voluntary resignation.

Everything they do is to enrich themselves and their friends. electrek.co/2025/02/21/t...

In 2020, the military was adamant about refusing to get involved in the election. That's why Trump hates General Mark Milley so much. Now, Trump is transforming the military into one that will back him up in 2029. We need to figure out how to prepare for that eventuality.

Another dataset I like is from the National Atmospheric Deposition Program, which has maps of the US that show we fixed the acid rain problem by implementing stricter emission controls on power plants. nadp.slh.wisc.edu/maps-data/nt...

So Trumpy and Musky have a hot date planned at Fort Knox. Can't wait for their villany photos like Mnuchin and his wife. Peas in a pod.

This will go down as the Friday Night Massacre of the Military. First the Chairman of the JCS and now Adm. Franchetti, the first woman to become a member of the JCS. Next up the Air Force’s No. 2 officer & the top JAGs for each service. Martial law is coming. breakingdefense.com/2025/02/trum...

We will resist...............

200 million dollars of waste.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

He nails it.

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...

When you turn 60 in Iowa, you get a certificate from the House of Representatives. I’m sending mine back, with a message. Thought you’d be interested: @theswinerepublic.bsky.social
