Why did Hegseth just fire every top military branch lawyer? What did they refuse to sign off on? A Pulitzer awaits the reporters and outlet who can tell the public.

📌It’s about time ALL our retired military flag officers started showing some damn leadership by speaking out against this authoritarian attack on our nation. You know damn well that what is happening right now is WRONG.

in the trump administration, “merit” is pronounced “white” like how strom thrumond said it.

More of this. The fuck are you doing promoting a book when the country is falling apart?

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com: "Inspectors general are a headache for everyone. You know why? Because they're investigating every agency and they find stuff! Including waste and fraud and abuse! They wouldn't be firing them if they cared about waste, fraud, and abuse."

Hey everyone! I did an emergency live over on Substack, reminding us all that we will win this thing! Take a look! adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/emergency-...

"If I am ever murdered, it will be because I said something absolutely perfect to someone with no sense of humor."

I don't believe most (reasonable) people are looking to our democratic leaders for solutions in this moment but rather they are looking for hope. I have talked to thousands of people who are scared... and all are looking for assurance that we will be ok... EVENTUALLY. Its why I'm out here fighting

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

Merrick Garland was so concerned to appear bipartisan, to follow the law without fear or favor, he allowed someone who tried to overthrow our democracy inciting a LITERAL insurrection…not only to run again for POTUS but who has now capitulated America into a full blown authoritarian takeover.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

I am one of more than 750 political scientists who signed this statement "express[ing] our urgent concern about threats to the basic design of American government and democracy" drive.google.com/file/d/1lGk2...

All of this — per @ioponomarenko.bsky.social:

“If you think fertilized eggs are people but parents who've crossed oceans with their kids aren't, stop pretending your concerns are religious.”

Attorney General Pam Bondi disbanded an FBI task force investigating foreign influence operations, including those targeting U.S. elections. Additionally, she restricted enforcement actions against individuals who fail to disclose lobbying on behalf of foreign governments.

An important point to keep in mind.

Imagine you have over $400 billion and you spend your time working to deny hungry children around the world meals to avoid starvation.

Richest man in the world muses about Jailing reporters, nothing to see here

LIVE: at the U.S. Capitol for a National Day of Protest. 💪💙

🚨🚨🚨 Musk and Trump fired 1000 VA staff, including staff working the Veterans Crisis Line. That’s confirmed. Musk and Trump are firing Veterans across federal agencies. That’s confirmed. NOW is the time to make some noise. NOW is the time to stand firm. Make every day a living hell for them.

Measles epidemic surges. RFK Jr. lays of half of healthcare workforce. The age of the idiots is in full swing. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

When a judge stops the president from doing something illegal, that’s not a “threat to democracy,” that’s a check on the president’s power. That's the whole damn point.

Fired Department of Labor IG Larry Turner found $191B in improper COVID unemployment payments, much of it fraud, and was hunting down $135B more when he was fired. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

PSA: Words matter They aren’t “layoffs” It’s not about “efficiency”

Even the most disturbing RFK Jr. headline always manages to have a detail inside creepier than you could have imagined. I’m sorry, did you just say Black kids should have a chance to get “re-parented”???? Gift link wapo.st/4hW2xGI

The #MAGACultMorons are currently outraged by Eric Swalwell stating an indisputable fact. #ProudBlue #TrumpIsANationalDisgrace #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

NATIONAL ARCHIVES UNDER ASSAULT: They’re coming for our history. The US archivist & staff resigned after Trump officials pushed to replace them w/loyalists. Not just records you’d expect—slave records, immigration records, Native American treaties—all at risk. Will they rewrite or destroy history?

In case you missed, it we beat Mike Flynn on Friday when he surrendered in the dark of night on Valentine’s Day after a year and a half of hoping I’d surrender or shut up. I’m not sure a more on brand ending could have been written. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Yeah, this is pretty obvious but worth stressing. Also, the idea that techbro coders with no experience in government are best able to identify and root out “fraud” is laughable

In America we don’t bow to Kings or would be dictators. Today across the country people will actually gather to say NO. They want you to believe resistance is futile, that their power is inevitable. It’s not. History proves that people who stay engaged can change the course of events.

Well-oiled machine

One of the truly great resignation letters of all time. Emil Bove is engaging in unethical and likely even criminal conduct at the highest levels of DOJ. This is a time for all men and women of principle to stand up while so many in the GOP remain silent. AUSA Scotten is a hero. -Ron Filipkowski

Good advice ⬇️

As a software engineer I can tell you: Musk's coders are _not_ improving systems at various govt agencies. Any such claims are lies to hide the real intent. The best engineers take weeks even to understand complex systems; months to plan how to upgrade them; and years to do so without disruption.

WATCH THIS CASE!!!!!
