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.

Important state Supreme Court election in Wisconsin where Musk is dumping money towards the opponent. Support Judge Crawford! www.crawfordforwi.com

We are already at the ‘purging the generals and replace them with loyalists’ part of the Trump second term, just five weeks in. Totally normal. Not dangerous at all

Agree. In some ways that's even more chilling than firing the four stars. It's what you do when you're planning to break the law: you get rid of any lawyers who might try to slow you down

📌It’s about time ALL our retired military flag officers started showing some damn leadership by speaking out against this authoritarian attack on our nation. You know damn well that what is happening right now is WRONG.

🇺🇸 Back when I served my country, my president defended America from her enemies, not appeased them. I fucking hate Trump.

Wyoming reports its first human #H5N1 #birdflu infection, likely caused by backyard poultry exposure. bit.ly/Wyoming_Huma... ⚠️Don’t eat uncooked or undercooked food ⚠️Cook poultry, eggs... to the proper temperature ⚠️Avoid exposures. Wear PPE! #MaskTogetherAmerica @cidrap.bsky.social

Sean Duffy Booed. And rightfully so.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

"The crowd again started shouting 'tax Elon,' 'tax the wealthy,” “tax the rich' and 'tax the billionaires.'" The county went 68% for Trump www.lagrandeobserver.com/news/local/r...

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

You only fire the staff attorneys if you plan on doing things that are illegal and you don’t want them to stop you.

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

Party of family values

It used to be "the left is making up all the stories of hate crimes or brutality." Now it's "don't let your heart be moved by the bad things we're doing."

“Senator Jim Risch announced today that his first townhall meeting of 2025 will be held in Clearwater County at the Black Mountain Fire Observatory on March 9th. He looks forward to discussing current issues and taking questions from the public and encourages all to attend.” #IDAHO

Rep. Grothman (R-WI): President Trump has done some very good things Crowd: Booooo

What was it that the ABA said about the rule of law the other day?

At least in Oregon, their representatives have the guts to face their constituents. #Idaho

Slimy and disgusting. Under Trump, We are the bad guys.

Estimated 200k fed jons cut, amd a deep, deep recession for the US.

Trump is looking bad because Biden deported more people in the same period of time he has. He thinks a new director is the answer. It’s not. He’s finding out about logistics. That, and he’s fucking stupid. apple.news/APNPTPv3LTou...

What makes Elon Musk an expert on cutting defense employees? www.defenseone.com/policy/2025/...

So do I kid, so do I…

Where’s the Weaponization Of Government people?

Another scoop from @peard33.bsky.social: DOGE installed Tom Krause at the Treasury Department. He's keeping his job as the CEO of a software company that has millions of dollars in federal contracts, including with the Treasury Department www.wired.com/story/krause...

Jefferies will never sniff the presidency. He constantly comes of as politician, and that’s not popular right now. People want honestly, integrity, and authenticity. @aoc.bsky.social - DO IT!

More convinced than ever that senior and elected Democrats might really be misreading the sentiment among their base, and that they could be caught badly flat-footed by their own voters very soon. split-ticket.org/2025/02/21/t...

These people do not know what they want. They want something bad to happen to someone (nobody they know), for doing something that they can’t define, and they want it to be popular.

When you scoff at the mob tactics, and he can’t back it up, he loses power.

PORTLAND: Tesla will be exhibiting vehicles at the Oregon International Auto Show, starting today and running through the end of the weekend. People use this event to survey the market for new vehicles ahead of purchasing, so it's an ideal place to interrupt potential new Tesla sales. #TeslaTakedown

This is what happens when UNQUALIFIED people take jobs they should never have had, and don’t know what they are doing. #KEEPITUP #Duffy

look i'm no mayor pete stan but i have a biological, fundamental need to see him humiliate sean duffy

Republican Kevin Kiley booed hard as he showed up with Trump’s transportation Secretary Duffy to attack California’s high speed rail project.

It’s what the boss ordered. #ThanksTrump #ThanksKrasnov
