Quite a moment when top military commanders are reacting to Elon's latest manic weekend email outburst as though it's a provocation from a rival state power

I've heard Trump tell the "Raizin" Caine story numerous times. It's incredibly telling about how he sees the military.

As the Atlantic's @radiofreetom.bsky.social explains, Trump is capturing all the key ministries one needs to hold power in a dictatorship www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Congrats to Trump’s new picks for top military posts for meeting the job description. You don’t have to say yes, you know.

None of this has anything to do with effectiveness, or “lethality,” or promoting “warfighters," or any other buzzwords. It is praetorianism, plain and simple, and it is an assault on our military and our democracy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

I'm about to drop a piece at The Atlantic on this Pentagon purge. As I warned, Trump is capturing Justice, Intelligence, the military. This is praetorianism, pure and simple.

I hate when people do this. Yeah, if Pence were wagging a finger at Biden I might roll my eyes. But it's useful to have Trump's former VP standing up to Trump & for the truth. Why on earth would you want to slap him down for it? What purpose does it serve, other than making you feel smug?

Replaying #Fallout 4 with some of the new content. It's a nice graphic upgrade and while some of the new content isn't that wild, it was fun to drop a Minutemen artillery strike on an Enclave camp.

Telling the Ukrainians they shouldn’t have started the war is some real high-level assholery.
