In Texas, undocumented immigrants make up significant portions of the workforce in major industries like construction and hospitality. Many have been here for decades, own homes and small businesses and have U.S. citizen children in Texas schools. www.texastribune.org/2025/02/17/t...

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

It’s unconscionable that Trump turned our country’s back on Afghan families of US troops. Congress needs to fix this as his Orangeness certainly won’t. This gets lost in all the froth of 73 executive orders and a runaway DOGE. It needs attention. www.militarytimes.com/news/your-mi...

Better not call it a “vaccine” or it might not get approved. Maybe market it as a recreational drug.

This is very, very bad. Am working on a write-up, but let’s just say that firing military leaders for blatantly political reasons is wildly inappropriate; firing all the too lawyers is ominous; firing them all at the same time is a terrifying five-alarm fire

Doing this right before firing three top military leaders is so deranged. Source at DoD told me, “Disdain for Hegseth is a near-universal feeling even among the Trumpiest in the office.“

Well, this advice didn’t seem to take root. But I tried. My biggest concern is the firing of the CJCS, the CNO and the service JAGs. No mystery there.

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

Yeah. To put it into perspective, if Trump is permitted to rearrange the post office, he is also permitted to rearrange the lower federal courts however he likes. Both are spelled out as "The Congress shall have Power" in Art I, Sec 8. And there's more too, like armies and the militia, second pic.
