Here we go. Certain generals must be removed before any martial law plan is put into action—as Trump and Hegseth are worried there may still be some generals out there who support the Constitution rather than his proposed dictatorship. This is a political purge intended as a precursor to far more.

The unitary executive theory is about to get its test case. SCOTUS will decide whether to give Trump the keys to the destruction of our federal government.

(📢) This is an ASK ME ANYTHING (AMA) post—my first one in over a year, I think. Ask me any question, on any topic, and I will answer it honestly. (The only rule here is that you have to retweet this post before you ask your question, so that there will be at least _some_ audience for the answers.)

She’s not the sharpest knife in the box.

Oompah-Loompah claims fellow dwarves work as DEI appointees in Air Traffic Control. Fox News gives up?

Looks like somebody has ADS: Acosta Derangement Syndrome.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Russian disinfo network “Matryoshka” is migrating to Bluesky as exodus from X continues A number of AI-altered clips spreading anti-Ukrainian narratives had circulated on X before appearing on the alternative Bluesky platform, noted @antibot4navalny.bsky.social.

Even Trump?

CNN confirmed on-air just now that top Trump aides are furiously calling journalists to insist that Elon Musk has been following the orders of Trump rather than the other way around. As predicted, Trump is horrified and enraged at the idea that Musk is now seen as the President of the United States.

There are lots of privacy implications, now that ChaptGPT is available via WhatsApp. For starters, OpenAI will now be sucking in huge amounts of data, and almost certainly logging a user's mobile number. Plus, what is to stop OpenAI triangulating numbers someone's real CGPT account, for instance?
