Every reporter today should be asking every Congressional Republican why they're OK siding with Putin and walking away from NATO and democracy.

I assume Musk is frustrated that he can't fire his 13 kids.

Mike Luckovich, Feb 20, 2025.

Donald Trump's incompetence will either save the United States of America from Project 2025 or it will destroy us. The worst waiting game ever.

The return of Carnac the Magnificent: "Roaches, mold and Mayor Adams." "What are three things that are hard to remove from Gracie Mansion?"

What’s wasteful is ordering feds to explain their jobs instead of letting them DO their jobs.

"Immigrants didn't steal my job. The president did."

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

The DoD has never passed an audit and no doubt its spending should be reviewed. But Sec Hegseth knows little about how DoD works, and less about national security. It would be a good idea to bring in some expertise rather than just throwing the axes.  www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

The premise of American foreign policy to Ukraine, today, is one of grievance. It is worth patiently considering the proposals. They reveal little about Ukraine, but much about America in February 2025. snyder.substack.com/p/recoup-the...

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

Trump and Elon's high egg prices and egg shortages have created a whole new type of illegal smuggling! If smuggling eggs is profitable, you know things are bad. Trump's America is bizarre.

This is for @gtconway.bsky.social Five things I did last week. 1. Took too much ketamine 2. Danced onstage with a chainsaw 3. Ignored my new baby momma 4. Laughed at my own jokes. 5. Neglected all of my children except for the one I use as a human shield.

As our LEAST competent & accomplished Secretary of Defense fires our MOST qualified and accomplished military leader, let’s talk “DEI”. youtube.com/shorts/y-PWr...

🚨Texas Measles Outbreak 💢From 58 cases - 90 in 3 days 💢Largest in over 30 years Senator Schatz (D-HI): For the first time ever, we will have a Health Secretary who has actively helped cause outbreak instead of to contain them." #Voices4Victory

This is the ultimate dick boss move from Musk - except he isn’t even the boss, he’s just a dick.

I don’t have kids. I just care about the world and the people who live in it. It’s never wrong to do the right thing.

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

musk is pouring $$ into these FL special election races - do not let him buy one more seat FLORIDA!

Trump is making Putin’s wildest dreams come true

Musk is indiscriminately firing NPS Rangers -- people who have dedicated their lives to protecting our precious national parks and those who visit them This now unemployed ranger asks that we write. Congress via npca.org/jobcuts

www.npr.org/2025/02/22/g... It's 1130pm in GERMANY Tomorrow, they vote .... The AFD (Musk Backed) Far right extreme This election so critical for it will affect not only GERMANY but Europe and even Ukraine The AFD must be defeated

What ?!?

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

We can agree that it's shameful if it comes to fruition. I dont think there is any chance it does. I don't understand why people don't believe Zelensky is as good a negotiator as Mexico or Canada. He knows you give Trump the PR win and move on

www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv... Now that Trump has captured the intelligence services, the Justice Department, and the FBI, the military is the last piece he needs to establish the foundations for authoritarian control of the U.S. government.

According to Trump’s longest serving COS, retired Marine General John Kelly, Trump said Hitler ‘did some good things’ and wanted generals like the Nazis. 🚨 🚨 Trump now has his wish and can instruct his loyal military to violence against anyone who is not loyal, no questions asked 🚨 🚨

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...

Trump’s alarming ouster of Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Air Force Gen. C.Q. Brown Jr., followed by a rash of other firings in the military’s most senior ranks, marked the beginning of an unprecedented purge at the Pentagon. Nearly 5,400 “probationary” employees within the…

"Six weeks ago, we had the strongest economy, employment, and stock market in history. ..All gone in 30 days."

Trump is such a jackass I love this Do it Australia 🇦🇺

🚨It’s overdue. Their continued silence is *consent* as far as I’m concerned. 🚨

US refuses to label Russia as aggressor in G7 statement Washington’s shift in policy threatens to undermine the G7’s traditional display of unity, the report adds. www.ukrainianworldcongress.org/ft-us-refuse...

When even the New York Post has to publish this, you know you fucked up.

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

Gee, why isn't DOGE flagging this as wasteful spending? www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Trump was thrilled to announce tonight that he has terminated America’s most senior military officer — Gen. C.Q. Brown, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Trump failed to provide a reason as to why he abruptly fired Brown from his position. It is, in fact, the first time that the…
