It’s imperative at this point that Europe develop a defense posture independent of the United States, which should be treated as the ally of Russia that it has now become.

No doubt last night’s purge reflects racism and misogyny. But those wrongs are just a cover for the far more serious evils and dangers that exist here.

Wait. It gets worse: "The new document states that the revenues will be directed to a fund in which the United States holds 100 percent financial interest, and that Ukraine should contribute to the fund until it reaches $500 billion....The US has allocated $119 billion for aid to Ukraine."

Interesting thing for the President to say about a person who, according the government’s lawyers, “has no actual or formal authority to make government decisions himself” and “only has the ability to advise the President, or communicate the President’s directives.”

Tom Homan is publicly threatening the City of Boston. He says he will rain hellfire on it. It sure worked out well the last time an authoritarian government threatened Boston.

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...

By accepting Trump’s anti-Black premise and regurgitating the narrative that equates anything Black as DEI, the NY Times has become part of the propaganda machine

Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

Firing a highly qualified black general, and replacing him with a less qualified white dude, is ironically, exactly what DEI was designed to prevent- and exactly why they want to get rid of it.

It is quite seriously not clear who’s in charge of the United States government while its critical functions are being sabotaged, purged, politicized, and weaponized against the American people and the free world

The unqualified Pete Hegseth fires a Black four-star general with a deep record of service. As if Gen. Charles Brown was just some D.E.I. hire. As if Hegseth is not some white hire, lacking in merit.

Murphy: "Hegseth got the job because he's the weekend news anchor on Fox, and Trump watches a lot of Fox and so he decided to make that guy the head of the DOD and our chief negotiator in Ukraine. Pete Hegseth is screwing it up badly, but of course he is ... all he knows how to do is read the news"

If Joe Biden said this, the entire Republican Party would be yelling about Munich/1938/appeasement, & it would prompt nonstop front page headlines about whether he was mentally unfit to be president.

"USAID's funding is roughly 0.3 % of total federal spending. That’s quite a bargain, considering the vital role USAID plays in sustaining America’s 'soft power.' It’s no wonder Trump hates USAID. After all, MAGA only appreciates hard power." by @playtyperguy.com www.publicnotice.co/p/usaid-dest...

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

NEW: Who is running DOGE? Don't ask its employees, because they haven't got a clue. Apparently, neither does the White House. More on the internal USDS/DOGE confusion over leadership here: www.wired.com/story/doge-e...
