Why are so few former Joint Chiefs speaking out? Four stars? FBI Directors? Former Senators? Presidents? Thanks to those that do but we need some courage now!

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

Folks are asking, “what should I do in this moment?” One of the most passionate, progressive voices in Congress for 30 years, Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden answers that question. Here’s our conversation, inside a replica of the Senate chamber at the Edward M. Kennedy Institute: youtu.be/n_nQ-Moa9fI?...

We are already at the ‘purging the generals and replace them with loyalists’ part of the Trump second term, just five weeks in. Totally normal. Not dangerous at all

More from Book 7 ...Wait and Be Ready “It’s harder to hold the balance than to find it. Sometimes I have to be stronger. Others, I have to let go. Each muscle, each tendon has it’s own balance. I have to listen to find it,” Daniel said. Sentar smiled. “Good. What else?” he asked. 1/3

From Book 7 - Open and Closed Sentar frowned. "What do you do when no one is watching? When you can do whatever you want and no one can stop you? When whatever you want could be yours for the asking?" he asked. "I can't ask, can I, Master Sentar?" Daniel asked. 1/2

DOGE has eliminated 10% of NHTSA staff. “If the question is, will this affect the federal government’s ability to understand the safety case behind Tesla’s vehicles, then yes, it will. [The # of fed workers] who are able to understand this adequately is very small. Now it’s almost nonexistent.”

Anyone else find it weird that Delaware Democrats are tripping over themselves to rewrite state law so Elon Musk can get his $55 billion pay package? Bueller? prospect.org/justice/2025...

FYI Dems: every air disaster is because of Trump, Musk, and the GOP. This isn't misinformation or exaggeration. It's a fair and necessary analysis of ripping the guts out of complex, proven safety systems. You're not being prudent waiting for NTSB reports, you're helping cover up the root cause.

BREAKING — I've confirmed the DOGE staffers at SSA. They are Marko Elez (who was previously fired for racist posts and then reinstated), Ethan Shaotran, Nikhil Rajpal, and Gautier Cole-Killian. This is per Social Security Works, a non-profit working to protect/expand Social Security.

Republicans are realizing that Trump's plummeting poll numbers are their election numbers of the not-so-distant future. They're now trying to delicately criticize him on Russia, they're getting slammed on the phones and at town halls. But it's all too little, too late. Keep hitting them hard.
