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.

As Trump makes concessions to Russia, he is showing weakness on a level unprecedented in modern US history. His position is so weak that it is unlikely to convince anyone. Trump is a sheep in wolf’s clothing. The wolves can tell the difference "The Weak Strongman" snyder.substack.com/p/the-weak-s...

Everything I grew up thinking adults believed were manhood's attributes -- through strength: principled behavior, honor, bravery, kindness, compassion -- is the exact opposite of the childish, violent theatrics of masculinity presented by men of the Trump administration.

KLUWE: “MAGA is profoundly corrupt, unmistakably anti-democracy, and, most importantly, MAGA is explicitly a Nazi movement. You may have replaced a swastika with a red hat, but that is what it is." @usatoday.com www.usatoday.com/story/sports...

It may be that Nazi references have lost cultural power, but the Nazi vibes are so strong it still seems important to point them out.

Elon Musk fired a disabled Veteran with 3 tours of duty from his job serving other Veterans at the VA. Elon’s companies get billions from defense contracts. He’s happy to profit off our servicemembers - but when he can no longer make money off them, he kicks them to the curb.

Thus far DOGE operatives have have full read access to govt payments system at Treasury (yr tax refunds, bank info, etc); full access to all CMS data (anything tied to your Medicare or Medicaid); and now they are seeking full access to everyone's tax returns. Feeling safer?

After all we've seen in the past 3.5wks, I cannot believe anyone is confused about this. Musk. Owns. Trump. Trump sold Musk the functions of the Presidency; in return, Musk spent $250M to ensure Trump won instead of dying in prison. Trump just licenses his name to the deal: POTUS in name only.

This is what Congressional Republicans are lying down for? Allowing Elon Musk to take over critical infrastructure of the United States in the process of enriching himself? THIS is the end game?

Fact check: nearly 70 percent of US money for Ukraine actually went to US defense industry to replenish the stocks of OLD stuff that went to Ukraine to use. Much of which we would have paid to destroy as their lifespan expired.

New: Elon Musk relied on undocumented workers to help build Tesla's gigafactory in Texas. He later propagated anti-immigrant sentiment to vault himself into political power alongside President Trump. Great reporting from @julialove.bsky.social (gift link 👇) www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...
