Junk!

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

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

US officials are reportedly threatening to revoke Starlink access for Ukraine if they don’t give us 50% of their mineral rights. That’s not diplomacy, it’s extortion. We’re also pushing them to kill a UN Resolution that blames Russia for starting the war. Facts matter.

In summation, a qualified Black man got fired and will be replaced with a white man who doesn’t meet the qualifications for the position.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Exactly! 💙 #Thisiswhywefight #Bluecrew #Resistance #Resist

Dear Canada, Don't sweat it. We're booing here, too. Sincerely, Decent Americans

A sovereign democracy in Europe was invaded by Putin. His forces have inflicted immeasurable destruction, pain and deaths upon Ukraine and its people. The notion that Ukraine should surrender land or pay US ANYTHING for providing help for Ukraine to defend itself is obscene.

I am not making this up: Republicans have introduced legislation… to increase your bank fees.

Agree. And I am 74.

RFK Jr is likely to be confirmed for our nation’s top health position. Yet he has no medical education or qualifications. None. We are unable trust his opinions or decisions. What a terrible situation for America

To all the companies abandoning DEI or deleting cultural heritage awareness months: we will remember this should we survive whatever hellscape this administration is dragging us into. I for one will not forgive you.

House GOP wants $4 TRILLION dollar debt ceiling increase. You marks really thought the world’s richest man and the guy with the golden toilet seats were really going to “fight the elites” for you? Nah, they just want their tax breaks.

The Trump Administration is breaking the law. Period. Never stop showing this. They are not “implementing unpopular policies” or “auditing the government.” They are breaking the law and ignoring the courts.
