Punch line at the bottom. Here, I'll spoil it for you...Far more fentanyl flows from the U.S. into Canada.

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

EXACTLY!

Not surprised.

I certainly hope so. If Ukraine loses, Russia will target Europe next.

A disabled veteran from Salt Lake City was laid off from his job at the VA (Veterans Affairs). Thousands of stories like this are cropping up all over America. Amplify every one of them. www.fox13now.com/news/local-n...

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...

One aspect of doing a political purge of the military and civil service is you can't come back in afterwards and just revert to status quo ante policies. A counter-purge becomes a necessity before you can then restore usual norms and protections. The people he's installing can't be left in place.

This is going to go on at many universities - the uncertainty will lead to fewer graduate programs. It will hobble scientific research which appears to be the goal.

another Nazi salute at CPAC

Republican events for a month now (including Inauguration Day!) have featured a prominent Nazi salute & legacy media outlets ignore it. Seems like a trend worth covering, no? Maybe access to the Nazi party shouldn't be prioritized??

The senior military officer purges will put our troops in danger. Trump put a part-time airmen incharge of the military, jumping a slew of 3 and 4-stars with 30-40 years of military experience. Our enemy couldn’t be happier.

Truly tired of seeing headlines, even from Politico, claiming a Constitutional crisis is in the future. We are already in a Constitutional Crisis. This presidential administration is already seriously flaunting the Constitution! www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

I mean, yeah--but how exactly is someone ousted from government when he isn't actually part of it in the first place? He needs to be ousted from the oval office, and his henchmen need to never be given access to private, government files again.

Of course he cannot form a sentence--he's aware that any actual answer to that comment will reveal he isn't actually interest in freedom of speech. Well, he is. But just for himself.

Trump is Team Putin.

I want to send him my own message of support, but instead, sharing and commenting. He stood up and spoke truth to power, then got arrested for taking like, 3 steps forward. The board approved the nazi plaque, but now they have millions of eyes on them for doing so. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/u...

So much for caring about chronic illness. Not that I'm remotely surprised. Just didn't quite expect him to out himself so quickly.

With Donald Trump denouncing him as a dictator, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy faces stark choices over how to continue defending his country without a once-reliable ally.

Yes, this. Dem press briefing on Capitol Hill by Pete Buttigeig. And make Pete Democratic Press Secretary (if he wants that). I love it.

Congrats, America. We're now on Putin's side.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

No explanation needed. Folks either understand what Buttigieg wrote, or they don't.

it helps if you STOP USING THE FUCKING RIGHT WING PROPAGANDA WEBSITE HE OWNS

Then they came for the climate scientists...

🚨Elon Musk’s DOGE operatives are attempting to access confidential tax information — tax returns, bank data, Social Security numbers — for millions of Americans. Illegal access can lead to jail time under federal law. @wyden.senate.gov and I are investigating and fighting back.
