Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Infant mortality rates in the US have increased by 7% following the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision.

‼️Journalists - pick this up‼️ “United States Marine Corps veteran, VA disability rating, federal probationary employee that was 6 days away from end of probation, with an Outstanding Performance Review rating…I was illegally terminated.” old.reddit.com/r/fednews/co...

The cruelty is the point.

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

Don’t get it twisted - Musk sees YOU as the Waste, Fraud, and Abuse when it comes to government spending! For Musk - government spending should only benefit Him, and the wealthy and well connected. They aren’t Tesla ports so they have to go. This is garbage. Tell your reps this is illegal.

Important to remind Congress everyday of facts: 1. POTUS immunity to break law, doesn't make it legal. He is still breaking the law. 2. Immunity is only protects against criminal charges in court system. 3. Impeachment is outside this, it's political, and Congress has duty to uphold Constitution.

Janet Mills isn’t here for any of that king bullshit. MORE OF THIS!!!

When I see Steve Bannon doing a Nazi salute to cheers it means only one thing: 420,000 U.S. troops died defending our country from Nazi assholes and 77 million people voted for them to be in power. MAGA betrayed our country voting for this nightmare.

Holy crap. At his town hall last night, Rep. Rich McCormick compared *his own constituents* who asked him tough and fair questions to January 6 insurrectionists

I've had a lot of conversations about impeachment with a lot of people. Most people outside DC get it but inside DC I get a lot of "Oh no one is there yet. No one is going to do it." But you know what I never hear? No one wants this and no one thinks it is needed. Literally EVERYONE wants it.

This is what we need folks. We all know what we want. We all know what MUST happen to live in a free country. Now its time to demand it.

Correct.

America has no kings. The gloves should come off now. #impeachtrump

“USAID is not a perfect agency,” writes @jeremykonyndyk.bsky.social, the president of Refugees International. “No government institution is. But from the Green Revolution to humanitarian relief to the fight against HIV, it has built a more stable world while advancing U.S. interests.”

I'm annoyed because I had to parry this criticism for so long but yes, it's now completely true. They are both exactly the same. Constantly giving unanimous consent to do whatever Trump wants. The Dems just act a bit differently because they have to pretend they are appeasing their voters.

Part of the problem with reporting on illegal funding (and job) cuts is that the headlines usually are too abstract, e.g. “Trump freezes $X billion from the NIH’s budget” instead of “Trump defunds cancer research”. People have very little sense of the scale of these agencies but like their work.

Call to Action: Protest at Rep Chip Roy’s Office, San Antonio, Texas. February 21st at 2PM. “LET'S BRING THE TOWN HALL TO CHIP” #3E #USprotests #Feb21

The "DEFEND INSTITUTIONS" maxim by Synder never sat well with me. Congress is literally indefensible. It's filled to the brim with people who steal our tax dollars to insider trade, take bribes, and plunder our collective wealth. We should Defend the PURPOSE of institutions.

It’s worth always thinking about the difference between what they want and what they are getting. They WANT to kill us all. They WANT the things they are saying they want. But we are still here telling them to go fuck themselves. And that should tell us something.

We cannot rely on a 2028 election. The midterms matter still. Swallow your anger and vote dem.

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

Happening now: protesters are outside the Fine Arts Building on Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago this evening. People are in line to see House of Reps Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries for an event tonight promoting his recently released book. Crowd chanting at them, "we don't need a book tour!"

Reddit has been removing posts with no explanation from higher up FEDs sharing story posts about mass firings of their employees. @wired.com @404media.bsky.social @jimacosta.bsky.social @altspaceforce.altgov.info @altfda.bsky.social @alt-irs.bsky.social @altcdc.bsky.social @alt-hhs.bsky.social

Why are we letting these people draw us to a world war? I don’t understand; I still love all of Europe and Mexico, Canada, Panama and Greenland. Why are we letting them destroy 200+ years of work?!

EXCLUSIVE: A federal worker at the EPA sent an incredible email to Administrator Lee Zeldin. He's refused to stay silent, and has asked me to share the email - and his name - with the public. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

Posted minutes after the Commander of the ISS said Musk lied about the stranded astronauts in his Fox interview with Trump.

The Lyin’ King. 👑

Do not comply in advance. Stand in the way of those who would subvert what the flag represents. We do not kneel to a would-be king. Be the friction that slows their progress.

Truly humbling moment. I dont like being put on a pedestal, but I won't lie this was pretty cool as was when we gave a press conference together in Manhattan. Thanks Mr. De Niro

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...

Acosta: He is, essentially, a part-time president who has delegated the presidency to Elon Musk. And the question folks are going to have to start asking—and I think they already are—is: What the hell did we vote for here?

Someone pointed out to me that DEI, the thing Democrats keep saying they need to run away from, is far more popular than they are lmao.
