"In a late Friday night purge, Donald Trump — America’s often ramblingly incoherent ceremonial commander-in-chief — fired three of this country’s top generals and admirals, the latest assault in weeks of efforts to install loyalists at top military and security posts..."

Minnesota. Nice.

Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.

Donald and Elon must be so proud!🤏🏼

The order to email Elon Musk five things you did last week or else you’re fired appears to be illegal. More here.

By accepting Trump’s anti-Black premise and regurgitating the narrative that equates anything Black as DEI, the NY Times has become part of the propaganda machine

When conservatives shout about “unelected bureaucrats,” I see heroes. “People are angry, they are frustrated, they are upset,” said Everett Kelley, the president of the AFGE, the largest federal employee union. “These are very patriotic people that actually care.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/u...

An idea. Tesla owners could turn their cars into anti-Tesla billboards.

I’m not giving money to Democratic incumbents unless there’s a plan and it isn’t the usual bullshit.

This would be completely illegal. But you wouldn’t know that from reading this post, the headline, or the lede. Unbelievably bad.

Trump's trying to extort Zelensky again. The Donald seems to have forgotten that Zelensky is no dupe. He was, deservedly, impeached for his last buffoonish extortion attempt.

These people all have actual conflicts of interest that should keep them from working on any investigations like this. It's a measure of how tainted and corrupt this Justice Department is becoming and it breaks my heart. I hope it doesn't break our country. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Even MAGA had to think it’s pretty weird that their big strongman with Rocky’s photoshopped body sat in a fugue state as a four year old told him to shut up.

Yesterday it was university of Pittsburgh - today it’s Penn. I fear this will soon be a grimly long thread of more gratuitous Trump/Musk inflicted disabling of America for the long term www.thedp.com/article/2025...

I'm here outside the Tesla showroom in Devon, Pa. west of Philly where about 10 hearty souls are protesting unelected billionaire Elon Musk #TeslaTakedown

Per @scaramucci.bsky.social: “He just fired the Joint Chief of Staff. Wants to install a puppet. For those who think that he is contemplating leaving, they don’t understand what happened on January 6.”

This is literally how the white supremacist OK symbol became so ubiquitous on the trollish right that establishment pols started flashing it.

Listen up.

A lesson in how claims of meritocracy as justification for opposing DEI are often cover for the demand that we return to a system of preference for white men - whatever their qualifications. Fire a qualified Black man. Hire a statutorily unqualified white man. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Bingo

DOGE’s gaslight accounting is getting covered from multiple outlets. A sampling from just this week: @politico.com @bloomberg.com @nytimes.com @nbcnews.com

Congrats to Trump’s new picks for top military posts for meeting the job description. You don’t have to say yes, you know.

Double-plus-ungood. It’s not just the particular terms or even the self-censorship by federal employees that’s scary. It’s the cultivation of an atmosphere in which language itself is a threat, your own tongue may be your enemy.

@nytimes.com @washingtonpost.com

Right after he was seen getting into a cab with Lauren Boebert at 2:30 AM after a party.

It hard to think of anything more feeble than advice on how to protect information that an evil government already has.

Let's be very clear. The Constitution says that presidents are limited to being elected twice. Anyone who says otherwise needs to read the 22nd Amendment.

In every single interview I’ve done with international media since Trump took power I’ve been asked: Why are there no mass protests? There are many reasons, of course, but the utter refusal of the self-proclaimed “fourth estate” to communicate clearly what is happening has to be high on the list.

Trump’s brazen attack on the rule of law, via @hcrichardson.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) was established by Benjamin Franklin in 1775 when the Second Continental Congress appointed him as the first Postmaster General.

Trump/Musk cutting off communications access to the hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians fighting in horrible conditions, giving their lives defending Europe, as an extortion is exactly what the US is now. And they voted for it.

“this is about whether a President can force compliance with his will, without regard for the rule of law that governs our nation. I believe he cannot." —Maine Governor Janet Mills

Found some waste, fraud and abuse: "We’re going to run a marketing campaign" "The ad campaign amounts to an extremely expensive taxpayer-funded propaganda blitz to scare off migrants and to flatter Trump on television." www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
