This is huge breaking news. Trump fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Chief of Naval Ops, Vice of the Air Force and all three JAG’s of the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Watch this breaking news report we did for @votevets.org tonight. This is outragous. www.youtube.com/live/OdOjEdR...

I know. Others know. Some of us are calling balls and strikes. Others had their balls removed and have struck out.

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.

Why did Hegseth just fire every top military branch lawyer? What did they refuse to sign off on? A Pulitzer awaits the reporters and outlet who can tell the public.

WOAH 😮 Eric Adams sues Trump over missing $80M www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Former flag officers speaking up. The political firings at the top in the military must stop. They know how this will harm our national security.

It's Friday! That means Marcy Wheeler @emptywheel.bsky.social joins us to recap what we need to know from this week in Opposite World. 5pm ET/2PT youtu.be/ujbBoolsiWo, nicolesandler.com, emptywheel.net, nicolesandler.substack.com

At CPAC, a new group pushed for Donald Trump to serve an unconstitutional third term. The effort, called the Third Term Project, is being led by Shane Trejo. He once co-hosted a neo-Nazi adjacent podcast called “Blood Soil and Liberty.”

Last night, President Trump said he wouldn't cut Medicaid. Today, he’s endorsed the House GOP Leadership budget that wants to slash $880 BILLION from Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act. He’s lying to the American people and crushing working families.

4️⃣7️⃣ days. Not a single vote to lower costs. House GOP leadership is playing politics with people’s lives. It’s time to listen to the American people and vote on legislation that makes life more affordable.

Kentucky, with frigid temperatures and another wave of snow overnight, roads are slick and hazardous. If you have to travel, take it slow and give our crews room to work. Check goky.ky.gov for traffic conditions.

A reminder I will be providing at least once a month for all of the remaining years of my life: Months before the 2024 election, the Department of Justice announced that there were at least six hundred Russian assets inside the United States and that some...were SITTING MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.

The single greatest failure of the Democrats was not investigating this election.

I've read most of the analyses of the DOGE 2025 "receipts" site. This, from NPR, is the best I've read so far. Some of what they claim to have cut haven't been cut, other "cuts" will incur costs down the road. NPR says DOGE has made $2B of cuts, not $55B. www.npr.org/2025/02/19/n...

My partner is a federal worker, & they just alerted me that people are being escorted out of the building today by homeland security (which protects the buildings) People were concerned about being fired today,& I suspect this is what is happening Truly fucked up.. & unforgivable shit

SWAN: DOGE and SpaceX employees are now working directly at the FAA and DoD, agencies that have billions of dollars of contracts with Musk's companies or regulate them. How is that not a conflict of interest? TRUMP: Well I mean, I'm just hearing about it

📌On August 18, 2020, the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee concluded that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help Trump get elected. The committee chair? Marco Rubio. The very Rubio who was surrendering to Putin today. Just what in the hell is going on here????
