Context for what’s happening here. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

OK, the report is now fully in major media. Media must get an extensive White House response; Congress must investigate (even if it's a minority report); DOJ and the FBI must investigate; the CIA must issue a report on what it knew about this and when.

Since I’ve been getting this a lot - if you feel like supporting me by buying a jersey or something, I would rather you make a donation to Trans Lifeline or The Trevor Project www.thetrevorproject.org

It'd be awesome if @whitehouse.senate.gov asked Attorney General Bondi if she has issued some kind of finding that foreign donations are cool now, so long as they're covered up nicely. www.emptywheel.net/2025/02/22/p...

Donald Trump promised to let Elon Musk self-police his conflicts of interest. The result? Those investigating his companies have been fired. Cases against his companies have been dismissed. The corrupt self-dealing is staggering.

This is such condescending BS.

Whiskey Pete Hegseth has fired Adm. Lisa Franchetti, the first female officer to hold the Navy's top job, chief of naval operations. Because she is a woman. Meanwhile, He isn't qualified to serve as ADM Franchetti's aide. Does he think a penis is part of the steering mechanism for a destroyer?

🇨🇦🇺🇦Canada support and stand with Ukraine.

“A Tesla driver was killed in a fiery crash after going triple-digit speeds in Pierce County,”prompting a “warning about the danger of electric vehicles catching fire in similar incidents…’We usually only have seconds to help these victims when vehicles do catch fire,’” a deputy said. 1/

These people all have actual conflicts of interest that should keep them from working on any investigations like this. It's a measure of how tainted and corrupt this Justice Department is becoming and it breaks my heart. I hope it doesn't break our country. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

King Musk-Trump removed the Black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour (without cause) and trying to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander. Yep, being Black is a crime.

He nails it.

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...

I'm about to drop a piece at The Atlantic on this Pentagon purge. As I warned, Trump is capturing Justice, Intelligence, the military. This is praetorianism, pure and simple.

None of this has anything to do with effectiveness, or “lethality,” or promoting “warfighters," or any other buzzwords. It is praetorianism, plain and simple, and it is an assault on our military and our democracy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

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

Soon it will be too late. Congress must act. Republicans deserve relentless protests and demands for their acquiescence to this man solidifying power to overrun our democracy.

This was published last October www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Democrats should go to all these ruby red and vulnerable GOP districts where voters are upset at Trump and Musk and court them. Full court press.

The Trump Administration has cost our country over 22,406 American jobs. trumpcostsamerica.com

Guys 🇺🇦 need help,please 🙏 read original post 👇

Trump’s new Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff once told the MAGA leader, 'I love you, sir. I think you’re great, sir. I’ll kill for you, sir.'

I see that this idiot isn't going to stop until his other eye is patched up. He wants to what??? ""Convicted Oath Keepers' leader now wants to fight 'snitch culture' & that he would enjoy work for the FBI or for Director of National Intelligence - Tulsi Gabbard." www.alternet.org/alternet-exc...

If you support this, you’re an awful human being

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.

Patel: "Anyone that wishes to do harm to our way of life and our citizens, here and abroad, will face the full wrath of the DOJ & FBI. If you seek to hide in any corner of this country or planet, we will put on the world's largest manhunt & we will find you, & we will decide your end state. Not you"

🇺🇦 President Zelenskyy I had a phone conversation with Czech President Petr Pavel. Our discussion focused on next steps, joint plans, and maintaining strong, well-reasoned positions. Europe must speak with one voice to achieve a just peace—and we will achieve it.

I wrote about the devastating 2004 tsunami and the hidden lessons it teaches us about why DOGE and Elon Musk are wilfully amplifying catastrophic risk. www.forkingpaths.co/p/doge-and-t...

“What merit means to them” General Brown’s record, which Hegseth questioned for obvious reasons: www.af.mil/About-Us/Bio...

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

For Europe, supporting Ukraine is a matter of security and stability on the continent. Keeping Ukraine strong means keeping a strong, battle-hardened army with real combat experience - the second largest in Europe. Ukrainian army can become a reliable ally in a defense union⤵️

All politics is economics. If the Supreme Court Citizens United decision grants more political power to those with more money, then to defeat them, it is essential that we target the sources of their wealth. Yes, that means you should sell your Tesla and get off X. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

What do voters think about Elon Musk and his rampage through the US Government? A banger episode of The Focus Group pod with @karaswisher.bsky.social ‬⁩ who blows my mind with a couple of insight about Elon’s endgame.

NEW — 19-year-old DOGE engineer Edward Coristine turns out to be the grandson of former KGB spy Valery Martynov, who played a role in a sprawling 1980s espionage saga. www.jacobsilverman.com/p/prominent-...

We should all applaud Judge Ho’s appointment of former Bush SG Paul Clement to present a perspective distinct from those of the indicted NYC Mayor Eric Adams and the Trumpservient DOJ prosecutor Emil Bove. Well played! www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/n...

Oh fuck, what a grift. J6 terrorists sue a DOJ controlled by Trump; Trump orders DOJ lawyers to settle for an undisclosed amount, both sides agree to an NDA. This can happen dozens, hundreds of times. Just an ingenious way to funnel tax dollars to far-right terrorist groups.

I want to salute the Governor of Maine Janet Mills who, in that room with a raging Trump and silent complicitors, stood her ground and said, “see you in court!” Maine residents, show your support for your Gov for standing up for your independence.

Take the time. Read it. Global carnage.

So this is what it's come to... Egg payments 🙃

One other brilliant aspect of Judge Ho appointing Scalia clerk Paul Clement as his amicus: It'll make it FAR HARDER for Emil Bove to conduct his "weaponization" witchunt targeting (among others) Scalia clerk Danielle Sassoon.
