Hegseth and Trump are incompetent evil personified. Admiral Lisa Franchetti, and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman CQ Brown Jr., are military leaders with LONG distinguished careers based on (plot twist) MERIT! 🤡 is driving our country off a cliff as the world watches. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

I’ve been saying for almost a decade now that trump was recruited when he went to Moscow in 1987. He was $10 billion in debt at the time. An easy target. Over the next few years, his debts magically disappeared. Not coincidence. It was a plan. The plan has now come to fruition. Know the enemy.

Is this a DEI hire?

Heroin addict and roadkill enthusiast, RFK Jr. kills flu shot campaigns and cancels a major vaccination conference.

Tom Homan is publicly threatening the City of Boston. He says he will rain hellfire on it. It sure worked out well the *last* time an authoritarian government threatened Boston.

And it's going to get much worse!

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

Make it make sense! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Seems legit.... We don't want to be a nation of underachieving Americans.

Wise man…

A new website created by about a dozen federal employees, called “We the Builders,” aims to be a secure outlet for government workers to share stories about how their workplaces are being impacted by DOGE, and a place to explain the real-world impact of its access to government tech systems.

Trump just fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Air Force General C.Q. Brown, and pushed out five other admirals and generals, including the first woman to lead the Navy. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

The poster child for white male mediocrity, Pete Hegseth, is firing qualified Black men and women from the military.

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

Gen-X knows 🤣

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...

Says the guy who won't even respond to the mothers of his own children

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.

Again, I don't care if your article on the USPS being dissolved by F47 came from PBS, CBS, CNN, or wherever the fuck it came from. FUCKFACE CAN'T CHANGE THE CONSTITUTION WITH EO'S. Got it? The corporate media are our enemy. That's another thing to keep in mind.

Hey, #portlandmaine folks, I just want you all to know there’s still a place in town that hasn’t jacked their prices up as far as possible. You can still get a huge shawarma for $13, a big plate of falafel for $5 at Olive Cafe on Commercial St! Give them business!

Why do you think Trump fired Admiral Linda L. Fagan as Commandant of the US Coast Guard and abruptly kicked her and their family out of the Commandant's residence?

The part they're not telling you: this was a resolution decrying Trump's pardons of the January 6 rioters. Colorado State House Republicans, deep in the minority, literally turn their backs on law enforcement officers assaulted that day.

Medicaid coverage for virtual visits ends April 1st. As someone who cares for children that live up to 8 hours away, this is DEVASTATING. Children, adults, elderly will all suffer. CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES The 5 calls app makes it easy!

I'm just saying...

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

If we have enough people with the knowledge and moral fortitude of Maine Governor Janet Mills, and the Associated Press- we might be able to save our Democracy

Reminder: Zelenskyy refused to leave Kyiv as bombs fell. Donold hid in a bunker from protesters with cardboard signs.

Fellow book lovers! There is a better way to buy our books than Amazon. Instead of putting $ in Bezos' pocket, every purchase on @bookshop-org.bsky.social financially supports independent bookstores. You can even select the bookstore you'd like to support.

Mark my words—He is going to try to shut down mail-in voting. When he does, we will sue and we will win. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

When I see Steve Bannon doing a Nazi salute to cheers it means only one thing: 420,000 U.S. troops died defending our country from Nazi assholes and 77 million people voted for them to be in power. MAGA betrayed our country voting for this nightmare.

Dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since the state banned abortion, ProPublica’s analysis shows. As the maternal mortality rate dropped nationally, it rose in Texas by 33%.

Jasmine Crockett is shredding this solo. But it’s past time for the rhythm section to enter this song already.

NEW: Minnesota was just ranked a top state both to retire and to raise a family.   By investing in the things that matter – economic opportunity, health and safety, and strong communities – we’re building the best state for all Minnesotans from childhood through retirement.
