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...

Ilhan Omar introduced an amendment to make corporations pay their fair share. Instead, the GOP voted it down and have moved along the budget bill that would strip $880 BILLION from Medicaid. Fun fact - that's the ENTIRE budget. #HandsOffMyMedicaid

It's just sick that any government service is simply seen as a waste of tax dollars. It's the old Reagan idea that a tax dollar spent is theft.

We need to remember what we’re capable of. Every day let your mind be blown by something you do, read, listen to, or create. That is one way we get through this—to remain open to everything that is wondrous in the world. www.marytrump.org/p/what-it-co...

The age of human tyranny was cruel—but flawed. AI tyranny will be perfect. It will know you better than you know yourself. It will shape your reality before you resist. And if we lose democracy now, we may never get another chance to win it back

Believing that Tulsi Gabbard — longtime Russian asset and newly confirmed Director of National Intelligence — is acting in the interests of the United States requires an extraordinary level of self-delusion.

This one is especially important for all red state elected officials, and unfortunately a few blue staters. But what I've heard today is that the GOP getting messages from their constituents is starting to have some impact. So go, kids, GO! Use @5calls.org or @resist.bot or simply phone or write!

Listen, they can keep lying about USAID, but gutting the program is hurting the American Ag sector. That is the point though. Destroy American Ag to make way for other authoritarian countries to take over the market.

Mindset reset: Right now, brave Ukrainians are defending their land & loved ones, at the cost of their sanity, limbs & lives. It’s an existential fight for their democracy & way of life. If the Russians lose, they go home. If the Ukrainians lose, they will be overrun & destroyed. #SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦
