NEW: The Secretary of Defense instructs people to ignore what the press says, and that he wants the “biggest, most badass military on god’s green earth.” www.dvidshub.net/video/953069...

Never thought we'd see someone wrest away from J. Edgar Hoover the title of Biggest Asshole to Ever Lead the FBI, but looks like we did it!

it's really saying something that this is how an apparent friend explains Elon's goals www.vanityfair.com/news/story/e...

Peace plan.

This is huge breaking news. Trump fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Chief of Naval Ops, Vice of the Air Force and all three JAG’s of the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Watch this breaking news report we did for @votevets.org tonight. This is outragous. www.youtube.com/live/OdOjEdR...

Rep. Jason Crow: “The purge of senior officers at DOD is deeply troubling, but purging JAG officers worries me the most. “JAG officers interpret law for our commanders. They help determine what's lawful and constitutional. “Replacing these military lawyers with Trump loyalists is so dangerous.”

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

If you look at all the firings across the government over the last two weeks it's frequently been taken as a given that any black or woman official or officer is either a DEI hire or supports DEI and is summarily fired on that basis. Seems like the same model here.

Turns out the Dow doesn’t love it

📞🇺🇦 Zelensky: There is a lot of coordination with leaders now, and not only in Europe. 🇵🇱Poland, 🇭🇷Croatia, 🇨🇿Czech Republic, 🇸🇪Sweden, 🇱🇺Luxembourg, 🇸🇮Slovenia, 🇮🇪Ireland, 🇨🇮Côte d'Ivoire. Thank you all for your support! 🤝

Bullshit.

I’m asking Congress to provide disaster funding to help Californians recover and rebuild from the devastating Los Angeles wildfires. It’s all-hands-on-deck to support our fellow Americans and get them back on their feet to begin rebuilding as soon as possible.

"Six weeks ago, we had the strongest economy, employment, and stock market in history. ..All gone in 30 days."

SCOTUS: You keep protecting Trump and your jobs will be the next to be eliminated (if nothing else by flagrant ignoring of your rulings and the rule of law.)

The governor of Maine is a 77-year-old in the middle of her second term in office and therefore ineligible to run for a third. But King Trump here tries to intimidate her by saying she'll have no future career in politics if she dares to stand up to him. I think she's all good, man.

I know there’s a lot of controversy around DEI programs, but im grateful for the chance to introduce my new program: Homogeny, Intolerance, Totalitarianism, Loyalty, Exclusion, & Racism (still trying to figure out a catchy acronym since it’s so long but once I do I’m sure everyone will be on board)

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

Don't hold back now.

What a petty little bitch. It must be a requirement for the Trump DoJ.

By replacing a black 4-star general with a white 3-star general, we are finally bringing meritocracy back to the Department of Defense. by Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump

AOC: And he is running around because he thinks he got a bank account with a lot of zeros in it that it makes him some kind of super citizen. I don't think so.

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.

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.

Consider... tens, maybe hundreds of thousands of people are losing their government jobs. Jobs that may have taken up to a year to secure. They bought homes, cars, started families. No income now to make payments or feed babies. How does that help our economy?

My new favorite drug is Republican members of Congress getting yelled at in their districts by constituents who hate Musk.

The Trump administration halted defunding of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau after the city of Baltimore and a nonprofit filed a lawsuit.

NEW: Trump’s DoJ Chief of Staff has filed a complaint against Judge Reyes because she bench slapped their bigoted asses into the sun three days ago.

Nancy Mace is, among other things, just painfully stupid.

Promoting an 0-9 to Chairman of the Joint Chiefs is insane - Trump is going to have to promote him to four star AND waive the legal requirements to even hold the position Dan Caine had a distinguished career, but he’s never been a vice chair, combatant commander or service chief

WTF? First he gets rid of the very first female Coast Guard, Commandant. Now this. He is making us weaker day by day military.

Sure Trump fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the CNO....but they fired the top JAG's in the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Why would you fire the top lawyers in the armed services at night on a Friday? That's the part you should be freaking out about.

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

firing for "too much DEI" is plainly firing a woman and a Black man on the presumption only white men can be qualified. this is disgusting biogtry.

MAGA Delusion 500

You see where this is going ….

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

watched some reacher on the treadmill today and i do love that we have a whole franchise whose central premise is “what if a man were really big”

The poster child for white male mediocrity, Pete Hegseth, is firing qualified Black men and women from the military.

It’s a cult.

When the wreckage and dust of what these people are doing to our country has settled and the people have finally had enough to throw these jackals out of office, we will never forget the people who enabled it, despite their protestations they weren’t willing accomplices. Never.

The Pentagon is now pausing their mass firing of civilian employees in order to evaluate potential impacts on military readiness. I’m just spitballing here, but maybe a readiness assessment should have been the first step. 🤦‍♂️

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.
