🫡🇺🇸 "Americans do not swear an oath to a king, a tyrant or a dictator. We swear an oath to the Constitution and the idea of ​​America, for which we are willing to die," — Mark Milley ❗️He said that every US military member gives his life to protect the Constitution, not to individuals.

They just now noticed?

Nothing in these EOs legally mandates or prohibits gender-affirming care—health care providers complying in advance are betraying their Hippocratic oath and harming trans youth. We must insist on refusal and target institutions that comply in advance. For more info/actions/resources: bit.ly/IC-TMIC2

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

that Trumpers think the US Postal *SERVICE* should be a profit-making enterprise exposes the fallacy in their conception of government

How does firing Americans help make America great again? Cutting 5-8% of the workers is unproductive and harmful to our economy and society. This is just simply reckless and unsustainable. www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

Remember when America had friends? Like a month ago?

Today’s cover of the Murdoch-owned New York Post

There have never been kings in America. The monarchy doesn't start now.

The 'find out' phase is here.

There’s something happening in this country.

Hey congressional Republicans, still waiting for you to announce how much you’re cutting from congress’ own $6.5 billion budget….

The talent drain will be immense.

ProPublica has released another study related to the effects of abortion bans in the U.S., this time showing a spike in sepsis cases in Texas following the implementation of that state's "heartbeat" abortion ban in 2021.

Danger alert!!

so @chatterton.bsky.social’s position is basically that i am a cult leader and that all of you are mindless hordes who have no actual thoughts and do not engage with substance

BREAKING: Four hours after this article was published, and the accompanying video went online, Scott Curtis received an email from FEMA’s Office of the Chief Human Capital Officer telling him his firing was being reversed.

Dear @cnn.com, The judge did not “vacate” the trial. He adjourned it. Then he appointed an amicus curiae to argue against dismissing the charges. Who writes your headlines?

Once again, Musk is using his billions to meddle in our democracy. His attempt to buy a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat is exactly why we need to overturn Citizens United.

🚨NEW RESULTS (w/ Slattery & @wnober.bsky.social) When gov't engineers retire, projects take longer & costs (& cost overruns) go up. It’s harder to manage projects well w/ reduced staffing. Important to remember as DOGE cuts: reduced staffing can actually hurt efficiency. Paper: tinyurl.com/yvy2jt93

Lazier than ever.

This is an excellent template and should be disseminated widely

Murphy: "There's no separation between the Kremlin & the White House right now. The White House is a full-time Kremlin propaganda operation..there's a real probability American troops are going to have fight abroad to protect the global world order & our allies & perhaps American sovereignty itself"

“It’s pretty clear that markets are waking up to the consumer impact of tariffs.” “… consumers are voicing their opinions with major changes in buying behaviors and sentiment about the prospects of their implementation,” Cox told CNBC. www.cnbc.com/2025/02/20/s...

When even the New York Post has to publish this, you know you fucked up.

Reminder: When you look at the Weather Channel App and it talks about Warnings, Watches, Advisories, Outlooks active in your area. Those are all done by @NOAA @NWS the National Weather Service. The Weather Channel does NONE of that stuff. Carry on...

This is really something

Dear business owners that voted for Trump, You could have had $50K in capital and a robust SBA. Instead, DOGE is cancelling all your government contracts and putting you out of business so he can have the contracts for himself.

“What’s the point of fighting cybercrime if we’re just going to give access for government networks to people with cybercriminal gang affiliations?” www.wired.com/story/doge-c...

“I thought we were supposed to be in a new era of meritocracy. Not the indiscriminate firing of people,” said one Republican congressional aide granted anonymity to speak candidly. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...
