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

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

@senatedemocrats.bsky.social WTF? More than 1/2 of you voted to confirm a MAGA? Does the word "primaried" mean anything to you? These are NOT normal times. We need fighters, not placators! apnews.com/article/broo...

Spouse called Rep. John McGuire’s office, asking what he’s going to do about NIH funding cuts. Staffer tells spouse that McGuire’s legislative agenda is “private.” Spouse reminds staffer that taxpayers are paying his (and the staffer’s) salary as *public* employees.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution.

I don’t know why this is hard for folks to understand. The layoffs aren’t just about probationary employees. They are going beyond that. It won’t stop. It’s all about making agencies non-functional.

This is happening because Elon Musk tweeted to kill the December funding bill & all the bipartisan health policies Congress negotiated fell apart. Expanding telehealth brings DOWN costs. It makes health care MORE efficient, and it’s SO important for rural patients.

I am so sick of this shit. It’s a Sieg Heil. It’s a Nazi salute. Anyone who sees it knows. It’s ridiculous that legal departments presumably won’t let media call it what it is. Bannon made “a provocative gesture that resembled the salute Elon Musk gave at a post-inauguration rally”? Fuck off.

I shouldn't be surprises, but WOW! Watching the USA fall is really spectacularity awful. I could maybe understand not wanting to provide FREE arms (since it's "America 1st", but to stop selling?!? You hate Ukrainians so much, you're willing to lose money? That says a lot about our neighbours.
