Tariffs? Out of control. Prices? Skyrocketing. Emergency powers? He’s abusing them. And yet… not a single question about whether he’s even fit to serve. The math ain’t mathing.

Not one reporter asked about the Executive Orders targeting Chris Krebs & Miles Taylor during today’s Cabinet press conference. Not one. A president using DOJ to punish those who spoke out? That’s banana republic territory. I waited. The question never came. Why? Has the fear already taken hold?

@revealinglight.bsky.social would love if you could do a reading on F47 enacting Martial Law in the near future

Stay focused

Yo, yo! New episode out now. News with swearing. Women-owned. No bullshit. Give it a spin for free: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

GOP Rep. Don Bacon: "Why is a White House official, that's not even elected, why is that person belittling the Polish foreign minister? It's not appropriate. It's not right. We need more discipline in the White House."

Wear MAGA hats, beat up police officers, try to assassinate elected officials, & join a mob to overturn a free and fair election? All good! You get pardoned! Exercise your free speech to protest Israel's war? You get called a supporter of terrorism, detained, and deported. Freedom!

After World War I, Germany had to fork over billions to cover damages. After World War II, Japan was forced to pay reparations. But with Ukraine, Trump is flipping history upside down by demanding that the invaded, not the invader, pay up. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/27/u...

A trifecta.

Quite the message from the guy running our government

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA. Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps. Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems. See how this works?

I'll tell you what I didn't get done last week. I didn't fire every federal employee and/or agency investigating my companies for unethical and illegal conduct. You?

He is admitting that he doesn’t want lawyers to stop him from breaking the law. No one would stop him from issuing lawful orders, so this has to be about unlawful ones.

I am one of more than 750 political scientists who signed this statement "express[ing] our urgent concern about threats to the basic design of American government and democracy" drive.google.com/file/d/1lGk2...

You need to watch this great and important speech from Governor Pritzker www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2fhPXAs/

He will burn down whatever he can, however he can Our systems of governance, rule of law, global alliances, even the Constitution. Consumed by vengeance and greed, he is the greatest threat to our Republic since its founding. We must meet this moment with the force of a thousand suns. Or perish.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not a dictator. He is a champion of democracy, freedom and truth.

🚨 Justice Dept Solves Immigration Crisis by Deleting the Judges Nothing says “solving the crisis” like axing 20 immigration judges while drowning in a 3.7 million case backlog. Maybe next they’ll fix airport delays by firing air traffic controllers. 🙈

Where law ends, tyranny begins.

If you’ve ever taken the oath to uphold the Constitution, this is the time to live up to it.

Oh. Would be a shame if everyone shared this everywhere while trump and Eric Adams try to work out a deal.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Friends are switching from WhatsApp to Signal. Smart move. Also, the less you support Zuck the Cuck, the better.

The start of week three:

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

Some people voted for trump. Some people voted for Kamala. Some people voted 3rd party. But I guarantee you that NOBODY voted for a fucking billionaire to be raiding our Social Security. What the fuck is THIS bullshit?

It was an honor to sit with Fmr. FBI & CIA Director Judge William Webster and his wife, Lynda, at Kash Patel’s FBI Director confirmation hearing. Webster is a living legend. We both agree—Patel is unfit for the role and a danger to national security and the rule of law.

An excellent resource for federal civil servants. www.civilservicestrong.org

America is being dismantled and destroyed by Robber Baron Brown Shirts! No one is coming to save us! We must stand United and fight them at every turn! Pass it on!

My statement on the FBI Purge that puts at risk the safety, well-being and national security of the American people.

There is no such fucking thing as being “too woman” to pilot a helicopter, “too gay” to land a plane or “too black” to be an air traffic controller. There is however, such a thing as being too hateful, too stupid & too sociopathic to be president. And we call that Donald Trump.

This is how banana republics work: “Interim leaders at the Justice Department have spent the past week drawing up lists of people whose work at the bureau has earned disfavor with Trump for a variety of reasons.” www.cnn.com/2025/01/31/p...

"FAA Leader Quit Before D.C. Plane Crash—Thanks to Elon Musk" If you're looking to deport an immigrant who killed Americans, we found one.

The NATCA (National Air Traffic Controllers Association) released this statement in response to Trump’s baseless allegations that Wednesday’s aviation tragedy was partly due to DEI initiatives at the F.A.A.

Trump: “If people aren't coming to work, if they're not going to come in the office and report ... then they're going to be terminated.” Does this include presidents who spend most of their time at the golf course?

Oh look. A President, a Governor, a Mayor - all at the crash site at the Chesapeake Bay with first responders. Not swimming. Showing empathy and leadership.

"At least six senior FBI leaders have been ordered to retire, resign or be fired by Monday." www.cnn.com/2025/01/30/p...

I’m sad to learn that my law school classmate, Kiah Duggins, died in the DC plane crash last night. Kiah was an exceptionally talented civil rights lawyer and aspiring legal scholar. I hope you’ll read about her work and the causes she cared about, some of which I’ll 🧵 below. What an immense loss

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

But her emails… www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

This is how autocrats throughout history have endangered the people they govern by erasing factual information vital to health and well being www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

If you wanted to know how an autocracy would start in America, it begins by releasing violent thugs from prison who beat up police defending Congress, illegally firing every Inspector General, and seizing billions appropriated by Congress for people with no authority to do so.
