Dan Caine, Trump’s new replacement for Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, reportedly told Trump, “I love you, sir. I think you’re great, sir. I’ll kill for you, sir.” He also put on a MAGA hat, despite it violating military protocol.

This is how it’s done.

Federal employees are now being told they will be fired if they do not reply to a guy who does not respond to the Moms of his kids.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

I'm pretty sure this dork was high as a kite when he decided to post this.

A federal judge has extended the order keeping Elon Musk's DOGE out of Treasury Department payment systems, ruling that the Trump admin's process for granting access to the sensitive data was so flawed and haphazard that it was likely illegal.

'Extortion, pure and simple': Onlookers shocked by Trump threat to cut Ukraine's internet: U.S. negotiators are threatening to effectively cut off Ukraine’s access to the internet if the country’s leaders don’t agree to hand over minerals worth billions of dollars, according to a report Saturday.…

DOGE staffer Edward “Big Balls” Coristine is the grandson of Valery Martynov - a “former” KGB spy. That’s right, one of Elon Musk’s young cyber criminals — related to a former KGB spy, and who seemingly did not have to undergo a background check — now has unprecedented access to…

Katie Britt: "Oversight is back" (In fact, one of the first things Trump did upon returning to the White House was fire inspectors general)

For the last two days, Sean Duffy has been blaming Pete Buttigieg, Joe Biden, the Democrats, and anyone else he can think of for the fact that under *HIS* watch, planes are crashing on a near-daily basis. Maybe fewer joyrides to the Daytona 500 and a little more attention paid to transportation.

Like always with Trump, there are 0 details—but taking a 25% universal tariff on vehicles, pharma, & chips seriously It'd be brutal, hitting >$500B of imports by starting trade wars with close allies like Mexico, the EU, Japan, & Taiwan. Could compose the largest tariff hike in modern US history

Repulsive

Trumpists will continue to be furious at any dissent no matter how much power they steal. That’s because the administration is premised on pathological insecurity. They’re shitty people, they know it, and they will never stop resenting being seen as shitty people.

elderly man with delusions of grandeur declares himself king

Cuddling up with a murderous dictator to decide Ukraine’s future is pure authoritarianism.

It’s becoming very clear that the Trump Admin never had any interest in serving as an honest broker to end the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The plan was always to join Russia and others in plundering the Ukrainian economy like a 17th century colonizer.

This is not just a musing from a dude with some various ideas. The next step is to hollow out the judiciary and also not follow their rulings, which have been against Musk’s efforts. This is a very obvious coup, for those not paying attention.

Not sure we’ve ever had a president who hates Americans as much as this asshole does

Donald Trump lying about Ukraine starting the war with Russia makes me ashamed to be an American. I have done a 2 man patrol at night through Fallujah to extract and intubated COVID patients long before a vaccine. I've killed people for America and I've saved people for America. I am ashamed.

This is what should be on every front page right now. What's happening in the US right now is an illegal power grab by a private citizen. IT'S A COUP. It's a digital coup. It's Musk who's leading it. The consequences are terrifying. And it's coming for us next. 1/ open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

Sorry, we accidentally fired the “Preventing Another Pandemic” team out of habit. The good news is that many of the Americans who will die because of this malicious indifference will be woke. So win/win.

After his disastrous speech in Munich, @JDVance spoke with Alice Weidel, the leader of Germany's far-right AfD party, and their support in the polls took a hit. Imagine being so uncharismatic and unlikable that even Nazi’s are like, "No thanks."

'Clean house!' Trump says he's ordered firings of all U.S. attorneys hired by Biden: President Donald Trump said he's ordered the firing of all remaining U.S. attorneys hired by Joe Biden's administration. In a Truth Social post, Trump ranted, "We must 'clean house' IMMEDIATELY, and restore…

In case you were confused (I know you are because he is still in The White House and there isn’t anyone protesting en masse) - THIS IS FASCISM.

repeating myself a bit here but trump can issue an executive order but that doesn’t necessarily mean shit if it doesn’t have a firm statutory basis. if congress lays out in law what the duties of a particular official are, then no, the president can’t decide those duties are something else

NEW: Trump’s USDA admits it "accidentally" fired "several" agency employees working on the federal response to the H5N1 avian flu outbreak—and is now scrambling to undo the damage.

WOW! Trump just blamed Ukraine for starting the war with Putin. He literally slammed Zelensky about the war saying: "You should have never started it." This is straight up Kremlin talking points and propoganda. Trump is a Russian asset and a TRAITOR to the USA. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Marco Rubio's collaboration with Russia's Sergei Lavrov and Putin is one of the most disgusting acts of betrayal to democracy and our nation. Rubio has secured his place in history of infamy.

So if Elon isn’t a DOGE employee, then who’s running the show And-if he has no position-why is he being given ANY information about what DOGE is doing Why does he apparently have access to the most private information about people’s lives And exactly what is Congress doing about all of this

This afternoon, the top FDA food official responsible for overseeing America's food safety and inspections resigned from the federal government.

When I heard Musk say this on Tuesday, my assumption was that it was a programming issue. Because I can code and have written to databases and because I am familiar with other examples of default values being misinterpreted. Yet somehow Musk isn't.

Has he seen Russia’s economy?

Trump has already weaponized the Department of Education open.substack.com/pub/aaronrup...

State Dept. says Rubio, Waltz and Witkoff will meet with a Russian delegation in Riyadh on Tuesday. Lavrov and Ushakov will represent Russia, according to TASS, a Russian state news agency. There is no sign Ukrainian officials will attend.

Just wonderful writing on the 60 Minutes piece on President aMusk dismantling of USAID "The world's richest man cut off aid for the world's poorest people." Well done.

Exactly 😡

Correct. This is a President of the United States declaring himself a dictator. And instead of Americans understanding that we’re now under imminent threat of martial law and tyranny, we’ll get a month of think pieces about what the President of the United States meant by his UNAMBIGUOUS statement.

This cartoon by @mluckovich.bsky.social is getting banned on Twitter. Because of course it is.

These absolute morons are going to destroy the United States. If you’re in favor of the US leaving NATO, you either don’t want the US to succeed, or you don’t know wtf NATO does. Worth noting that Mike Lee voted to expand NATO in 2022.
