(📢) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: The Daily Beast publishes a sourced allegation that Trump has been a Russian spy since 1987 and then—possibly under some form of threat—deletes it. But in an act of unusual heroism, it left it up long enough for Wayback Machine to capture it text. Here it is (please share):

As America is being torn apart, weakened, and sold to the highest bidder, I think about all the folks who told me, "Well, it won't be THAT bad" and "We survived 4 years of Trump..." and "The systems will hold." All of them are privileged and well-off. Alas. We're all in it now.

If you haven't realized it yet, Trump and MUSK are doing an open coup and purging the government of any guardrails as they assume authoritarian rule. But pronouns! Kamala is a woman! Woke!

MAGA is aggressively turning their own base against them. Only been a month. This is an addition to the thousands of jobs they've cut.

They continue to tell this debunked lie 🤥 for a reason: so when they cut social security to pave the way for their tax cuts for the rich you think they had an actual reason to do it.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

How Hitler seized power: 1. Create a crisis. 2. Demonize opponents. 3. Declare a state of emergency. 4. Undermine elections. 5. Make the rule of law irrelevant. 6. Rule by decree. If America falls it will be because of the people who didn’t pay attention.

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.

Breaking News: President Trump fired the country’s senior military officer, a role that traditionally stays in place as administrations change.

Donald Trump’s firing of military leaders — four-star General Brown and four-star Admiral Franchetti — along with top legal officers is a betrayal of legions of first rate service members who dedicate their lives to our nation’s defense. This is a growing national security risk.

Thousands of federal employees, some of them Trump voters, are now without jobs thanks to Musk who is going to get contracts and government subsidies for his companies. This while the price of eggs & groceries are high. These families just lost a source of income. How do you think will play out?
