You can really feel the anti-Trump sentiment building, and it's not Kitchen-Table Americans complaining about egg prices, it's about the contempt for the rule of law, the reckless cuts, the abandonment of allies, the mistreatment of other Americans

Be clear about what you are seeing. The firing of these senior officers has nothing to do with competence. This is creating an oath of loyal by the Armed Forces to the Leader. We face an uncertain future.

I am fine with the US negotiating to get access to rare earth minerals anywhere in the world ... through willing exchange and investment. Not by duress. Not as loot gained by carving up a people's freedom.

Trump has fired the chairman of the joint chiefs, Air Force Gen. CQ Brown, Jr., five months into a four year term, per WSJ. Brown was the first black officer to serve as chairman of the joint chiefs. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

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.

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

I fear that this is just a prelude to further purges, the installation of yes men (pun intended), and the introduction of loyalty oaths. These are the steps that destroy professionalism and make the use of violence to restore "domestic order" thinkable --- and more likely.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Please don't let the reporting about the Pentagon purge focus solely on DEI/Joint Chiefs. Firing the service TJAGs - the top lawyers for Army, Navy, USAF/Space Force - is incredibly consequential. A little context🧵on why.

The firing of Brown is going to get most of the attention, but the firings of the JAGs might be more significant in some ways. They're responsible for ensuring the military follows the law. - @ktoropin.bsky.social and @tomnovelly.bsky.social with the news www.military.com/daily-news/2...

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...

Sometimes I forget that our own military has long been obsessed with Nazi Germany. That's a good thing if the leader tries to do all the exact same Hitler stuff. They're actually vaccinated against it.

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.

Put another way: "leftists hate centrists and centrists hate the leftists, but everyone hates the Democrats". There are too many people that hate Trump and the Democratic Party's current approach for this to be sustainable. And Trump isn't going to change

They are telling us, out loud, exactly how the 2026/28 elections will not be free & fair. They will go after vote by mail (bsky.app/profile/mira...). They will go after computer voting. They will then say we can't count all the paper ballots because it's taking too long & there must be fraud. Etc.

The entire CPAC audience is cheering for a quasi-religious speech claiming it’s impossible for Trump to violate the US Constitution b/c he is its “living embodiment” given human form who has come to “restore” the Constitution & US dignity & anything he does to “save” America is inherently lawful.

NEW: Enrique Tarrio, the former Proud Boys leader granted clemency by President Trump, was arrested outside the U.S. Capitol and charged with allegedly assaulting a female protester. Trump previously cut short Tarrio's sentence for seditious conspiracy related to the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

Rufo called me a groomer and sent his audience after my family because I said I was fine with my daughter going to therapy. CPS got called. It took months to get rid of them. My former colleagues thought it was hilarious and did nothing.

This is much worse than the quoted exchange conveys. Particularly Trump's response to Mills, "we are the federal law." Just absolute tyranny shit.
