So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

Love to see it!

In an unprecedented purge of the military’s senior leadership, President Donald Trump fired the top US general just moments before his defense secretary fired the chief of the US Navy and the vice chief of the Air Force.

To anyone reading this. I've found a good ratio for mental health restoration is this! For every 30 minutes of Trump news, watch ONE segment BBC's THE REPAIR SHOP! It's on BritBox, Prime and others! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!

Let me know if you agree Trump deserves to be called out! 💙

Lankin on the 5-year deal: "(It) releases energy, to focus on the right things. You don’t have to worry about housing and stuff like that, or contracts, for a little bit here,” he said. “You can actually put some more energy into the thing that matters most." theprovince.com/sports/hocke...

I’m shocked.

Wise man…

this message is for Gov Mills of Maine. Hi. TY. Love you. 💕⭐️

Just recorded a podcast with @samsteindc.bsky.social on the military purge. Should be up soon. We try to explain the broader significance of replacing these senior military officers: Trump wants to break all institutional constraints at the power agencies, and secure personal fealty to him.

HELL YEAH!! The largest organization of professional and amateur surfers has just SLAPPED Donald Trump with a major lawsuit to protect California beaches from off shore drilling. SEE YOU IN COURT!

Unfortunately I won’t be to DC in time, but this rally for Ukraine is happening in Lincoln memorial. Attend if you can and Slava Ukrainii!

For those at the back…

This military purge is about Trump installing loyalists in every senior role, just as he filled his cabinet with sycophants and enablers willing to carry out his dangerous and illegal orders. This won’t end well for our country.

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

The mental leaps, the logical pretzels, the sheer effort that some people in the media are going to have to come up with to avoid naming the most obvious fucking reason in the universe all this stuff is happening

Accurate

Much media coverage: These Pentagon moves are unusual but Trump's within his rights and wants supporters of his America First agenda. The truth: How is removing the JAGs relevant to any agenda? New, Hegseth-selected JAGs are needed for total loyalty to Trump and finding all his orders lawful.

BRAVO to Maine Governor Janet Mills for slapping petty tyrant trump in the face with her calmly defiant "see you in court." THIS IS HOW IT'S DONE. 🔥🔥🔥

Better not call it a “vaccine” or it might not get approved. Maybe market it as a recreational drug.
