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...

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

#ProudBlue #DemsUnited #Resist Musk: People on Medicaid are “parasites” —People on food stamps or nutritional assistance are “parasites” —People on social security or Medicare are “parasites” —Veterans on VA benefits are “parasites” None of these people are parasites. MUSK is the fucking parasite.

The Trump regime is not the legitimate government of the US; Musk is not an elected official. This is a coup d'état enabled by inaction and secret (not so secret) interests (corruption) among the officials entrusted to protect the country. When all levels of protection fail, there is only you left.

This is the way… “The elected officials in Washington have to stop protesting in Washington. They have to go back to their districts…show the consequences…show the school that isn’t operating…they have to make it real.” With social media, word will spread to neighboring districts—even red ones.

The extreme MAGA Republican budget will close hospitals, shut down nursing homes and deprive children of healthcare. There are 215 Democrats in the House who actually want to love and cherish Medicaid, not destroy it. We only need three House Republicans to join us.

We are in an information war and so far, Trump & Musk are winning. We urgently need a credible, loud, daily counter narrative. The Democrats can & should take the lead using the same playbook as the blue state Governors' covid briefings. My latest ⤵️ 1/🧵 open.substack.com/pub/jennifer...

The UK has a shadow cabinet - political positions within the party that isn’t in power - and so should we. Plus, we need weekly press briefings led by @petebuttigieg.bsky.social on the state of the union. Business-as-usual time is over.

Everyone has things in their career of which they're ashamed. Nothing...and I mean nothing...in my career in politics makes me more ashamed and regretful than supporting and promoting Marco Rubio. He is the most craven betrayer of his stated ideals of any human I've ever met.

I am very politically active and write/call my congressman often. I have lived in his district for almost 2 decades. I have never seen him in person and it’s not for a lack of trying. No town halls. No visiting his district. I’ve never seen hide nor hair of Sam Graves.

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

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.
