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

🚨Trump just fired Gen. CQ Brown and threatened more firings are coming. This isn’t strength—it’s the move of a weak, insecure tyrant. Gutting military leadership for loyalty tests puts US security at risk and sends a dangerous signal to our enemies. History will judge this—& those who stay silent.

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.

Thom Tillis just handed the reins of the FBI to Kash Patel, a man who publishes enemies lists and spreads dangerous lies about the government. We deserve leaders who serve the people and the rule of law, not use the FBI to attack political opponents.

Good morning and Happy Thursday to everyone who agrees with General Milley that Americans do not owe our allegiance to a King, Queen, or a wannabe dictator. We owe our allegiance to the Constitution. Fuck the nonsense trump says about being a king.

Elon Musk --who is in business with the Chinese Communist Party--now has access to our IRS and Social Security data. If Musk were an app, he would be banned like Tik Tok. But because he is Trump's top funder, he can access our data. If Musk shared it with China, Trump would protect Musk.
