Dude is all talk and bluster, like Trump. He's setting his sights on people who've committed no violent or property crimes. Governors and Mayors should tell him to go get effed. When he comes to arrest them with no warrant, they should tell him to get effed again.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

With a MAGA joint Chiefs, likely MAGA JAGs, and more MAGA generals on the way, Trump is setting up: Unspeakable human rights violations from Gaza to migrants here in the US. Ruthless tactics to violently put down domestic protest (which he previously wanted to do) And much more. It's very bad.

Here's a straight line: In 2019, Pete Hegseth encouraged President Trump to pardon accused war criminals. In 2025, Pete Hegseth and President Trump fired the military's top legal officers.

States like California should NOT continue to tolerate being represented in the US Senate at the same level as Wyoming or South Dakota. If Wyoming has 2 Senators, do you know how many California should have by population? 132. Californians: We are short 130 US Senators. Why do we tolerate it?

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Waste and ridiculous but bet you these ads work to a decent degree. Should be illegal for taxpayer money to be spent on this because it is pure political propaganda. But propaganda is a thing because it works a lot of the time.

This is shameful extortion of an ally on behalf of Russia. Trump is a national security threat, a clear and present danger, and he should be removed from office. He should be impeached. Democrats need to SAY THIS. Otherwise it becomes normalized. Make Republicans defend it.

"Hochul is dithering about whether to use her powers. AOC, in contrast, exercised her 1st Amendment rights to inform her constituents about their 4th Amendment rights. In doing so, she showed that the administration is tyrannical. She also showed that it’s weak — if you’re willing to confront it."

Doing this right before firing three top military leaders is so deranged. Source at DoD told me, “Disdain for Hegseth is a near-universal feeling even among the Trumpiest in the office.“

Rep. Jason Crow: “The purge of senior officers at DOD is deeply troubling, but purging JAG officers worries me the most. “JAG officers interpret law for our commanders. They help determine what's lawful and constitutional. “Replacing these military lawyers with Trump loyalists is so dangerous.”

Yeah cannot really overstate just how many alarms are going off among military and former military. The JAG stuff wasn't completely expected and this sent a real chill. They're setting up the illegal to become legal orders.

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...

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.

Sure Trump fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the CNO....but they fired the top JAG's in the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Why would you fire the top lawyers in the armed services at night on a Friday? That's the part you should be freaking out about.

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

Democratic governors should have all walked out together midway through that meeting but especially after Trump's attack on Gov. Janet Mills. I don't know why they didn't. Makes no sense.

there is a growing list of programs for the disabled they've been attacking and cutting. Of the many things to be alarmed about, this is one of the most alarming. Trump is a big eugenics believer and I can see him looking to shove the disabled aside and out of sight.

This is the same kind of vaccine used in COVID and that conspiracy theorists falsely accused of 'changing your DNA.' I, for one, am happy for them to take this vaccine because I don't want anyone dying of cancer. But, I sure wouldn't mind if they admitted publicly they were wrong, first.
