If you think the lawyer who advised on some of the nation’s most sensitive special operations (including, based on publicly avail info, the cross-border raid to kill UBL) is a “roadblock,” one has to wonder what road you plan to go down.

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

Top USAID officials are trying to create a false narrative that life-saving aid has continued despite Trump’s blanket halt to foreign aid. Our @nytimes.com reporting shows the exact opposite. USAID even issued an internal email to stop applications for waivers: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/u...

📌I was the managing editor at Stars and Stripes and can tell you that Pete Hegseth is the first SecDef I am aware of to be openly booed by military families on a military base. 📌This is the most significant pushback I have seen to this administration's racist, hostile initiatives.

No, @nytimes.com, a president refusing to comply with an order from a court is not engaging in a “high stakes showdown.” That was last night’s Superbowl. This is the president violating the Constitution. Let’s call things by their name.

Trump and Musk are slashing funding for lifesaving cancer research and much more. More Americans will die as they take a sledgehammer to decades of medical progress and cripple research institutes in Maryland and nationwide. We are fighting this with everything we’ve got.

People who are concerned about their government should absolutely call their representative, no matter what party they are. That's the only way some members will hear that their constituents are pissed that Musk is breaking parts of the government that impact their lives.
