Of the Chiefs of Staff, vice chiefs of staff, and judge advocates general of the three branches, Trump fired all the women and Black people.

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

People need to understand this: Trump did not leave office willingly the first time. If his health holds up, he will not leave office willingly this time. He is not joking about serving more than two terms.

Canadians are now referring to the United States as the 11th province

Again, Elon Musk is -blitzed out of his mind -incapable of understanding why someone in full possession of their faculties would give their life for something bigger than themself.

Everyone in the Trump coalition voted for someone to get got. Most of them didn’t realize that they were that someone to someone else.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

again, this is the easiest political slam dunk in the world find a veteran with a lifetime of public service who has been fired for no reason and bring him on television with you do it again tomorrow with a different veteran, and again, and again show the human cost

I have a question. What is the foreign policy of the U.S. government? www.wsj.com/world/europe...

Good point by @pkrugman.bsky.social. Musk keeps making up lies about "fraud" in the government because they literally have not found a single true example they can point to. paulkrugman.substack.com/p/elon-musk-...

I don't think it's obvious because of the overwhelming amount of chaos in the news, but this is the biggest shift in American foreign policy since 1945. This is a titanic shift, and I'm not sure anyone knows what the result is going to be.

this is just factual

i am going to put a finer point on this: executive orders are not laws. and they certainly are not royal decrees. they are interpretations of existing law for the purposes of enforcement. the fact that so many people are treating them as laws is actually driving me a bit insane.

Elon Musk, from the Oval Office with President Trump by his side, offered no evidence for his claims that federal agencies were corrupted by cheats supporting “fraudsters.” He defended his so called DOGE cost-cutting team, which has operated in secret and claims to have uncovered waste and fraud.

imagine thinking poor people's healthcare is the FIRST place to look to tighten the budget

Gov Hochul can fire the mayor. She should have done so when the scope and scale of his cascading congenital corruption career was laid out in federal indictments. She waited for him to go to trial. Now that injustice has taken its course she is the only reason he remains in office. Step up Hochul.

Tons of food USAID bought from USA farmers is rotting at the Port of Houston. Due to Elon’s ax-wielding at the agency, no one is overseeing where the food should go. DOGE is WASTING billions of dollars #Voices4Victory m.youtube.com/watch?v=nDr-...

For what it’s worth, Democrats did refuse consent on Vought. They tried to filibuster him, forced Republicans to jump through hoops and used up all 30 hours of allowed debate time, with an all-nighter on the Senate floor, and all 47 Dems voted NO each time. That’s about all they can do procedurally.

Some of this was interesting. But Levin's whole narrative of the Constitutional structure as an incentive to coalition building just waves aside the fact that the two-party system makes this inevitably impossible. He says this is proven by the fact that we've had two parties for a very long time...

US higher education had become a world-class sector, one of the greatest strengths of this country, even with the amount of work still to be done in making it more just and equitable. But a cabal of mediocre whites, out of pure spite and belligerent stupidity, have decided to choke it to death.

Farmers slammed. “American farms… supply about about 41 percent of the food aid that the agency sends around the world.” And “hundreds of tons of American-grown wheat stranded in Houston alone.” wapo.st/3WSo7nI

What kind of sanewashing nonsense is this? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/06/w...

🚨 ALL OUT FOR WORKERS’ RIGHTS! Tomorrow in D.C. show up and show out!! 🚨

The terms, the offer, this is Musk. We're at the point where people need to decide if we want to have a state anymore or simply be the territorial base of SpaceX/Tesla.

This is disgusting and wrong. If anyone on this list needs help with security, please reach out- I have been where you are and can help.

In a disgraceful act betraying millions of their own residents, Iowa, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming all write to oppose birthright citizenship.
