We are arms dealers to terrorists.

True, but then they lost 41 seats.

Regardless of how much coverage it gets, Trump aiming to install a military command that places loyalty to him above loyalty to the constitution needs to be a much bigger story.

Be clear about what you are seeing. The firing of these senior officers has nothing to do with competence. This is creating an oath of loyal by the Armed Forces to the Leader. We face an uncertain future.

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

If this happened in a foreign country we’d call it a purge

"The larger dynamic is that Trump isn’t merely pushing to redefine the boundaries of the law or even the Constitution," Jonathan Chait writes. "He is rejecting the principle that the law constrains him at all."

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

Can we just seize the Russian assets already and give them to Ukraine? Good lord just do it

Carefully done study clearly shows X and TikTok pushing pro-AfD content to Germans whose own selections of who to follow are neutral. In other words, heavy pro-AfD thumb on the scale by Elon Musk and CCP. www.niemanlab.org/2025/02/in-g...

Despite our shortcomings, a critical mass of people here and abroad have always believed in the ideals of America. We have no right to give up on them now. Sam B. Girgus:

I am at the GA State Capitol this morning to highlight the importance of public health and specifically the CDC.

Basic biology eludes her.

Trump wants to take over the Post Office, because stuffing ballot boxes one at a time is so time consuming.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

Besides the bad faith and epic corruption evidenced by the letter to @robertgarcia.bsky.social from this Trump waterboy, it is “whom you call a dick,” not “who you call a dick.” Grammar counts, you unctuous toady of the wannabe mob boss WHOM you serve.

gravedigger of american democracy. a more malign influence than john c calhoun.

State governments should cut off all state and local cooperation with the FBI, and they should do it immediately. No law requires it, the Constitution fully empowers you to not even return their calls. But there is no legitimate purpose now in treating them as an acceptable partner for anything.

this is just fucking terrifying, Patel has no line he is unwilling to cross the full force of the FBI will be turned against anyone they consider a domestic enemy

To give time for Russian-American negotiations to succeed, argued the Hungarian Foreign Minister, we must preemptively reduce leverage against Russia, giving Putin concessions in exchange for nothing.

"One of the nation’s most prominent law firms, Sullivan & Cromwell, has made its decision, and it is the wrong one. S&C recently announced its ambition to become the leading Wall Street “MAGA” law firm by taking on the representation of Trump in the appeal of his “hush money” felony conviction"

20 months for Moscow Mitch to avoid hell by cleaning up the horrific mess he created by whipping 1 or 2 more republican votes against Kash Patel.

And you know who you have to blame for this, Nikki?

Write it down! Trump’s coming for your Medicaid. Social Security is next!
