Posted by @rothschildmd.bsky.social on another platform: “The entire federal government now apparently reports to Elon Musk, who is not the president, doesn't run DOGE according to Trump administration court filings, has no authority to remove federal employees, and tweets all day.”

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.

Important observation by @natashabertrand.bsky.social.⬇️ Now ask yourself, why would Secretary Hegseth and President Trump want to remove the most senior military lawyers?

We have breaking news for @votevets.org as Trump fires the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs on Friday night. Join us shortly. www.youtube.com/live/OdOjEdR...

@govpritzker.illinois.gov speech. One thing that resonated with me is that after we discriminated against deported immigrants, LGBTQ Comm, the disabled, women and minorities, once we betrayed our friends and neighbors after that when the problems are still there, then what comes next?

Today, I found out that the Department of Defense banned the Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim. I was one of its contributors. I'm really hurt right now. So if you have it in you, please buy books by Black women from independent bookstores.

They’re going to try and prosecute their political enemies

If you were REALLY looking for corruption, you wouldn't be firing independent inspector generals and using your DOJ to force a corruption case against a Democratic Mayor in NYC to be dismissed.

Russia launched an unprovoked full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February of 2022. Since then, thousands of Ukrainians have perished. Entire towns and cities reduced to rubble. It will take them decades to recover, if at all. For Trump to casually flip the narrative via tweet is beyond disgusting.

Who is the leader of the Democratic Party? Sincere question.

He will burn down whatever he can, however he can Our systems of governance, rule of law, global alliances, even the Constitution. Consumed by vengeance and greed, he is the greatest threat to our Republic since its founding. We must meet this moment with the force of a thousand suns. Or perish.

New on MSNBC: Pete Hegseth is considering firing a slate of military generals and flag officers as early as this week, according to two defense officials and three congressional officials.

Another way this feels similar to COVID — the disaster is already unfolding but the people in charge seem to think it’ll only impact “blue” areas.

Destroying medical education in America to own the libs! www.ksdk.com/article/news...

Abolish bank regulators. “Delete” the CFPB & IRS. Gut Social Security and Medicare. The Trump administration’s plots all boil down to the same thing: swindle working people, funnel money to the ultra-rich.

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

The daily chaos we're seeing, planes dropping out of the sky and nuclear weapons officials being fired, measles outbreaks, is all on trump -- the guy who ran to be in fucking charge. There are unqualified people at every position he nominated, so things will get MUCH worse. We're only 28 days in.

The top criminal prosecutor in the U.S. attorney's office in Washington quit today, citing pressure by the Trump administration to open what she viewed as an improper criminal probe of a federal contract. ca.news.yahoo.com/senior-u-pro...

He almost worked up the courage to criticize Musk a little. Not quite, but maybe he thought about it for a second.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul says she will meet with "key leaders" to discuss removing Mayor Eric Adams from office.

Fitting the sellout has been in Munich. Trump has been articulating his own policy of appeasement to an expansionist, aggressive dictatorship in the same place British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain articulated his own country’s policy of appeasement in 1938 open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Please stop shaming federal workers for their decisions to stay and fight or resign in protest. You don't know their lives or what they have the privilege of doing. It's like yelling at a rape survivor for not reporting.
