This. I'm a veteran, I didn't vote for Trump. The vets I know, didn't vote for Trump. And regardless, the whole attitude in some circles suck. This regime is taking a wrecking ball to our nation, that's what matters.

The United States appears to be in violation of the Budapest Memorandum which disarmed Ukraine of nuclear weapons in exchange for security guarantees. The agreement signed by the US in 1994 specifically prohibits economic coercion against Ukraine.

Stupidity at every level. Hope somebody is keeping track of what the administration is costing us in waste and grievance.

You don't fire the non-partisan leaders of our defense forces and military's senior legal advisors in the middle of the night unless you intend bad things.

And they may have come up with a simple new blood test for early detection. This is great news.

This man... this video is unhinged, apparently released yesterday. Utter amateur. He needs an old fashioned blanket party.

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

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.

Trump's desired new Chairman of the Joint Chiefs John D. Caine is getting paid by Kushner and does not meet the legal prerequisites for the position (Congress would have to grant a waiver). According to Trump he's pledged "I love you, sir. I think you're great, sir. I'll kill for you, sir."

Let's say their names: * General CQ Brown, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff: FIRED FOR BEING BLACK * Admiral Lisa Franchetti, Chief of Naval Operations: FIRED FOR BEING FEMALE * Admiral Linda Fagan, Coast Guard Commandant: FIRED FOR BEING FEMALE All replaced by less qualified white guys.

There is a reason Trump came out against all 17 intelligence agencies on Day One. He knows what we know. I'll neither confirm nor deny what exactly that is.

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

Hunter Schafer announced in an 8+ min video that her new passport misgenders her, presumably because of Trump's announcement that the US govt only recognize gender as assigned at birth. she (rightly) connects it to fascist history, like Nazis burning the Institute of Sexology in 1933 @teenvogue.com

Wow. @maddow.msnbc.com thank you for saying the truth, that the current regime is not governing, they are trying to replace the current form of government with something else, and in order to do it, they have to move FAST. That’s exactly it. The frame in which we talk about this crisis is crucial.

Not just the highly educated. Welsh miners formed study groups to read Austen and Dickens. Scottish shepherds built lending libraries. Watchmakers & cabinetmakers taught themselves Greek and Latin. The loss of working-class autodidact culture is one of history's great tragedies.

Working really hard every day to keep firmly focused on the simple fact that this chaos and destruction is not inevitable. It can be stopped. These people are weak and too often dim and there is more of us. It's the getting focused and on target part that's the challenge, but don't give up.

Capturing this essential moment. “Be clear about what’s happening...Trump and his administration, and thus America, is siding with Putin and Russia against a United States ally...abandoning the post–World War II world it helped to build and then guaranteed for the past 80 years."

I do appreciate the nice staffer at one of my Senators' office who called me back and took time to have a conversation, but I can't stop thinking about the utter lack of being in this moment..."we can make a query, but there's nothing we can do". It wasn't callous, it was... terribly.... routine.
