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...

Minnesota is leading the way on combatting climate change, and we’re creating clean energy jobs in the process. www.startribune.com/xcel-says-it...

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

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.

I have decided to call @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social EVERY DAY to tell him to fight harder. The days of being cautious and timid have led us to fascism. I will remind him he works for us and that he needs to ramp it up. I called and left a message today. Please join me. His number: 202-225-5936

A MUST-SEE‼️ The PayPal Mafia—Musk, Thiel, Sacks, and Botha—have ties to apartheid South Africa & a hand in US policy and the election. • Elon Musk – Unelected co-president, dismantling the government for his own gain. FUN FACT: His grandfather wanted to scrap democracy for technocrat rule. 🧵

KEEP PUSHING! If they won’t do a town hall DEMAND ONE

More & more headlines like this emerging here in Germany. “Without America?” The tie between the USA & Europe is loosening & it could scarcely be nicer for Putin. What does it mean for Germany & its neighbours?”

Amen to that.

oh boy -- Rich McCormick bailed on CNN after his ill-fated town hall

For those at the back…

"Piece Plan"

RFK Jr. cannot be trusted to oversee or interpret legit scientific research.

“I’m in West Virginia — My insulin went from $6 to $80”

Sharing more townhall videos today because they’re giving me hope. THIS is good trouble! Who is this man? I want to shake his hand and buy him a drink.

Trump and his American oligarchs are now openly aligning themselves with Putin and his Russian oligarchs. This Putin-Trump alliance means abandoning our allies, supporting authoritarianism and undermining our democratic traditions.

Working class Americans live 6 years shorter lives than the wealthy. Doctors believe economic stress is a major factor in that disparity. I asked Americans to describe how stress impacts their lives & well-being. The responses were heartbreaking. Here are some of them:

Legislation that I passed and was funded by Congress, Solar for All, could reduce electric bills for working class families by 80%. The Trump Admin is refusing to release the money in order to protect the profits of fossil fuel billionaires. Unacceptable. Release the funds NOW.

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

Don't hold back now.

Alarm as bird flu now ‘endemic in cows’ while Trump cuts staff and funding

Like & Share if you stand with Ukraine. 🇺🇦

I'm not sure it's actually set in that the Trump administration has done an end run to effectively grind to a halt new scientific research. They're not pausing the money. They're pausing the meetings needed to sign off on the $ www.thetransmitter.org/funding/fede...

Here's an action to take today: If you're in TX or LA, call Ted Cruz or Bill Cassidy and ask them why they're letting Trump piss away America's competitive advantage w/o lifting a finger. Mention this article. Cruz (Chair of Commerce): (202) 224-5922 Cassidy (Chair of HELP): (202) 224-5824

Feels like a good time to revisit this old gem

I think humanitarian aid as an extension of soft imperial power is good and "have free elections and we'll cure your tuberculosis" is the best game in town.

One of the reasons i love tolkien is the theme that despair is an enemy and it makes clear you don’t need to have constant hope, you can get by with grim determination or spite but never despair

Sean Duffy Booed. And rightfully so.

General Charles Q. Brown Jr., Faithfully and Honorably served the Constitution and The People of the US for 41-years in the USAF. His last posting was as the 21st Chairman of The Joint Chiefs of Staff. He was unjustly fired by the dangerously unqualified SECDEF. I proudly stand with Gen. Brown.
