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

They are telling us, out loud, exactly how the 2026/28 elections will not be free & fair. They will go after vote by mail (bsky.app/profile/mira...). They will go after computer voting. They will then say we can't count all the paper ballots because it's taking too long & there must be fraud. Etc.

I've read most of the analyses of the DOGE 2025 "receipts" site. This, from NPR, is the best I've read so far. Some of what they claim to have cut haven't been cut, other "cuts" will incur costs down the road. NPR says DOGE has made $2B of cuts, not $55B. www.npr.org/2025/02/19/n...

👇🎯 Again, the fact that this has not been a presidency-ending scandal - let alone something covered as a joke or potential good business/politics in the 🇺🇸 media - is a national embarrassment & we deserve every last bit of scorn from the Motherland for our shameful behavior.

As people are trying to understand how courts enforce their orders, this DOJ Org Chart may come in handy. The courts don’t have their own enforcement agency. The US Marshal’s Service is part of DOJ.

For years Trump & Vance have been telling us that America shouldn't get involved in other countries and in just the past 15 days they want to do that with Greenland, Panama, Canada, and now Gaza.

Trump stops payment on American infrastructure projects because only Joe Biden could get a major bill passed. Now he wants to spend your money rebuilding Gaza, which he plans to ethnically cleanse. That's real America First, baby.

Time to accept that we simply have a mad king. The guy slapping 25% tariffs on Canada's postage while calling for its annexation - and releasing scarce water into the Central Valley to fight already-contained fires in LA - isn't doing a bit or pursuing a secret, rational strategy

Mexico is imposing tariffs on US goods. The tariffs will initially be at 5% to 20%. The products: pork, cheese, apples, grapes, potatoes, cranberries, bourbon, steel & aluminum. They were chosen strategically because they have a significant impact on regions that voted for Trump.

Democrats need to learn how to treat real scandals with the same intensity and seriousness that Republicans use on bullshit like Hillary's emails and Hunter's laptop. Non-stop circus. Run shifts outside treasury, someone there 24/7. Make them prove they're not breaking the law.

After American airspace was closed on 9/11, over 230 flights with 30,000 passengers and crew were diverted to Canadian airports. Transport Canada received thousands of calls from members of the public offering to help the stranded passengers. Thinking about that today, for no particular reason.

Trudeau's words hit me hard tonight. I was in Toronto (with many other American film journalists) on 9/11. I doubt those of us who were there will ever forget the kindness and fellowship we were shown by everyone we encountered. It's horrific that when Canadians look at America, they now see Trump.

Trump fires elite federal law enforcement officers to make room for criminals. Consequently, the corrupt will prosper and evade prosecution, the virtuous will be investigated, and all will be extorted and corrupted.

Elon Musk pushed out the FAA chief — who resigned 1 year into a 5 year term, last week. Why? Because last year the FAA fined SpaceX $600,000 — for safety violations. Now the FAA has no chief — and we just had the first commercial airline crash in 16 years.

Remember — Tulsi Gabbard was on a TSA watch list because of suspicious foreign travel, including to Syria and Russia. Maybe — just maybe, hear me out here — the Director of National Intelligence should NOT be someone who made a TSA watch list for suspicious foreign travel.

I love that a white guy was flying the plane, a white guy was flying the helicopter, and a white guy gutted the FAA last week but somehow the blame is too much diversity.
