Exactly

Mogensen was a Commander of the International Space Station.

Under her command, the US Navy met its recruiting goals last year. The Army did not. She made being in the Navy more tolerable, based on experience of more than 20 years of her career at sea. People wanted to join Navy, to the point they had to deny people because the training slots were filled.

Having a king again, but this time he's really dumb.

Just moments ago, I received this message from a female Ukrainian soldier. It made my eyes get damp. Please, every day of your life, post and express support for Ukraine, and nothing but condemnation for Putin. As you can see, our support…matters.

Exactly. It's NOT about politics. It's about the kind of person you are. It IS about YOUR hate, inherent (and or overt) racism, and misogyny. I've never been friends with those type of people and never will.

None of this has anything to do with effectiveness, or “lethality,” or promoting “warfighters," or any other buzzwords. It is praetorianism, plain and simple, and it is an assault on our military and our democracy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Rep. Jason Crow: “The purge of senior officers at DOD is deeply troubling, but purging JAG officers worries me the most. “JAG officers interpret law for our commanders. They help determine what's lawful and constitutional. “Replacing these military lawyers with Trump loyalists is so dangerous.”

Trump just made a civilian the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The Chairman is legally required to be an active-duty military officer. Trump is scared of our officers, knowing full well they will absolutely deny an illegal order!

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on Friday that he was firing Admiral Lisa Franchetti, the first female officer to rise to the Navy’s top job of Chief of Naval Operations, and would be looking for her replacement.

The media needs to stop using the phrase "Trump outlawed diversity programs" and just say it like it is: Trump legalized discrimination against women and POC.

Guess those with TESLA's are just out of luck! LOL

JUST IN: A judge has enjoined President Trump's effort to block federal funds from going toward grant recipients who engage in DEI practices. The judge says the orgs are likely to succeed on claims that this is viewpoint discrimination, among other issues storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The Metropolitan Police Department in Washington, D.C., said on Friday that it was investigating U.S. Representative Cory Mills, a Republican representing a district northeast of Orlando, in connection with a report of an assault on a woman this week.

NEW: Trump’s DoJ Chief of Staff has filed a complaint against Judge Reyes because she bench slapped their bigoted asses into the sun three days ago.

This is just a pack of stupid. A subject I happen to know a little bit about. Amish have the same rates of #Autism as any other group. Disgusting. www.yahoo.com/news/trump-l...

apnews.com/article/ap-l... AP sues 3 Trump administration officials, citing freedom of speech

If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money. That starts with banning super PAC donations in Dem primaries. There’s no way the party can speak for the majority of working people in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

The constant dynamic in Trump 1.0 was people in the admin telling Trump “you shouldn’t do that;” sometimes that was because it would be politically dicey, or illegal or violate vital norms. But sometimes it was just because it was a very very stupid idea that would blow up in everyone’s face.

I suspect that Starmer and Trudeau and other leaders have told Zelenskyy to go along with any deal he can because as a sovereign nation he can later say absolutely not. No deal valid with a gun to your head. Likley, will get total backing for that from the EU later on. Play the game...

DC police are mounting a criminal investigation of an alleged assault of a woman by GOP Rep. Cory Mills, who represents a district near Orlando. The incident started at a penthouse in a luxury DC apartment building. Mills, who’s married and has two kids, apparently had a fight with his girlfriend.

Texas. Where the lone star is a review.

It’s only right for him to be on the first flight to Mars. It’s his baby.

Stephen Bannon made a gesture that a far-right French leader and others likened to a Nazi salute when he was giving a speech outside Washington on Thursday. He also suggested that President Trump pursue a constitutionally prohibited third term.

By 1960, U.S. Steel was the largest employer, landowner, and taxpayer in Gary, Indiana. When demand for steel dropped, Gary went into a decline. Can the city turn things around?

Our new FBI director. Congrats America!

Having a disabled son, this will affect me and our doc who will have to travel to a different office. Really smart.

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?
