INBOX: Statement from @reed.senate.gov, top Dem on the Armed Services Committee, about tonight's military officer firings

submitted 14 hours ago • 4 comments

This is very, very bad. Am working on a write-up, but let’s just say that firing military leaders for blatantly political reasons is wildly inappropriate; firing all the too lawyers is ominous; firing them all at the same time is a terrifying five-alarm fire

As someone who sat through more than one hostile town hall in WI where tea party activists berated my then-boss about Obamacare, and I occasionally feared for my physical safety, I find these video clips so cathartic to watch.

Firing all of the JAGs (Judge Advocates General)—the top lawyers in each service branch—is just as bad as, if not worse than, firing (most of) the Joint Chiefs.

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

House Republicans who were willing to hold town halls back home this week got an earful. At events from Georgia and Wisconsin to Oklahoma and Oregon, many of them faced hostile crowds furious about the sweeping budget cuts & mass firings of federal workers that Trump and Musk’s DOGE is carrying out.

🚨 BREAKING: Trump & House GOP swore they’d lower costs for families. Spoiler: They LIED. Instead, they’re gutting healthcare for MILLIONS—just so their billionaire buddies can snag another yacht. Priorities, right? #DontCutMyMedicaid

Donald Trump — The House resolution "implements my FULL America First Agenda, EVERYTHING, not just parts of it." The House plan slashes $880 billion from Medicaid—TRUMP OWNS THIS!!! Democrats need to speak out now—LOUDLY. Don’t Cut My Medicaid 📢

While stationed in San Antonio, I suffered an early miscarriage. The military chose to do nothing, and the resulting infection caused a heart attack. My case was negligence—but what these women face is far worse. It's not just negligence. It's pure hatred and control over women's bodies.

Steve Bannon was applauded at CPAC after he gave a Nazi salute followed by an “amen.” Elon gave one too. Believe your own eyes & ears. Conservatives have aligned themselves with the ideology that used gas chambers to murder millions.

Democratic leaders: I think it's abundantly clear at this point that simply going along to get along ain't gonna work. Trying to negotiate ain't gonna work. Being collegial ain't gonna work. What you're doing right now isn't working. Take your gloves off and punch back. Hard.

Why aren’t Republicans in Congress speaking up? Do they think if we slide into authoritarianism they’ll have a role to play? Have power? Because they won’t. What the fuck use will Trump have for any of them beyond laughing at their lickspittle attempts to curry favor?! Have fun with that. 👍🏻🤴🏼

Acosta: When Trump was out there on the campaign trail, he said, ‘On day one, I’m going to start lowering prices in this country.’ That hasn’t happened. And what is he doing? He’s going to the Super Bowl. He’s going to the Daytona 500. It’s like he’s on the StubHub Rapid Rewards program.
