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...

Here it is in a nutshell: 1. Trump is an authoritarian. 2. With the GOP controlling Congress, courts are key to protecting democracy. 3. So far, courts are doing a good job on #2. 4. GOP will next attack election rules like they did in 2021. Don't let the cynics convince you not to fight. FIGHT!

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

It's Tuesday, which means THE TEETH OF DAWN comes out in a week. I wrote this book for a reason. It has parallels to events happening now. One of the primary themes centers around how resistance can take many shapes, and many of those shapes can be effective, but not without organization.
