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.

This is how dictators talk.

How humiliating. Alpha males my ass.

that Trumpers think the US Postal *SERVICE* should be a profit-making enterprise exposes the fallacy in their conception of government

There is not a single person he’s hired who is qualified to do the job. Not even one.

white guy DEI

Looks like Rupert put out the word.

TRUMP: You have a man who has let a country that had the more beautiful cities get demolished. The most beautiful domes. FOX: But that's Russia's fault, Mr President T: 1,000 year old domes. Everything is demolished. It's sorta like Gaza F: That's Putin's fault T: I get tired of listening to it

Tell me he didn’t actually hire the guy he kept calling Raisin’ Caine.

Pay attention to this. Replacing JAGs with loyalists enables whatever orders Trump and Hegseth issue to be interpreted as lawful.

New in PN: AOC shows how to fight back and stand strong "Prominent figures standing up can undermine the climate of fear that MAGA relies on to impose terror. AOC’s work on behalf of her constituents and refusal to be intimidated are models of resistance other Democrats would do well to imitate."

It would be far less time-consuming to just document when he tells the truth. shorturl.at/tohgb

🚨 Today's top stories: 📉 Trump’s approval is dropping—57% say he’s exceeded his power, 62% say he’s not honest 💰 GOP budget slashes $888B from Medicaid 🇺🇦 Trump spreads Putin’ lies about Ukraine 🚀 Musk calls to defund the ISS Get ALL the news ⬇️

Today in Politics, Bulletin 75. Trump’s approval ratings are sinking already. Here is everything you need to know about that and everything else that happened today in politics. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

When are we going to start those WH drug tests? bsky.app/profile/atru...

What a clown.

Disgusting toxic trash. Trump is a real tough guy, banging out Truth Social posts from his golf cart at a guy who has fought off a murderous drug-addled barbarian horde for 3 years defending his people from Russian rapists and child kidnappers.

Where did Trump get the 4% number from? That’s what Putin told him in their recent phone call. The American president takes lies about our allies directly from Putin and asserts they are true to the American people without telling them he got those lies from Putin.

The key point that was made in this clip is that it happened organically. We don’t come from the consultant class, we get zero legacy media hype, we don’t get invited on shows & don’t want to be on TV, no big money donors writing checks. It all happened one person at a time. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

I posted this was a lie right after Musk said it. This is the Commander of the ISS. Musk responded to this post by throwing a temper tantrum and calling for ISS to be defunded.

It’s amazing how many Republican politicians, Fox hosts, & commentators have come out to strongly disagree with Trump’s statements about Ukraine while none of them even mentioned his name while doing so. Their level of fear and terror of Trump is something to watch.

Elon Musk just had the Community Note removed from the clip of his interview with Trump that went viral on X. The note pointed out that Musk lied about having to rescue astronauts because Biden supposedly abandoned them.

Let’s hope it’s just once, which definitely seems one time too many already.

New in PN: Elite lawyers sell out the rule of law "Ultimately, by joining in Trump’s effort to make America lawless, Sullivan & Cromwell may be working to render itself irrelevant."

i think it is cool that de facto first consul of the united states is a drug-addled maniac and deadbeat dad with a breeding fetish

On 2/28, many of us will participate in a pause in commerce. My idea is to make it more meaningful by taking whatever we can afford on that day and sending it to Ukraine as aid and as a show of support and a statement against Trump. To work, though, it will have to be big, organized and public.

I’d say Putin had brain washed him, but I think he’d need a brain for that to be possible.

Could the press possibly start reporting on the alarming decline of his mental competency?

Crockett: He went from being the dork that was jumping around on stage to allegedly being this amazing genius that's gonna save a country he wasn't born in, and one that maybe he doesn't agree w/the idea of a democratic republic, considering the fact he may have been more on the side of apartheid.

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

We need to save some smoke for voters. Trump was very clear during the campaign that he planned to settle Russia's war on Ukraine quickly and on Putin's terms. 77 million people voted for him anyway, and now he's following through. American voters sold out our ally.

Whitehouse: "Remember Trump-Russia? The Mueller report said there was Trump-Russia. The bipartisan Senate intelligence report said there was Trump-Russia. Repeated trials brought in evidence showing Trump-Russia. There was, is, and forever shall be Trump-Russia."

It’s amazing to me that when Donnie calls himself a king, everyone listens. But when the Supreme Court crowned him king last year, crickets.
