It is not up to the armed forces to put a stop to Trump’s ghastly ideas of war against NATO. The United States is not run by the military, nor should it be. Americans, and their elected representatives, must take this burden away from the armed forces—now.

Duffy on the shortage of air traffic controllers: "We have too many controllers that retire after 25 years of service. And so we have to look and go, is this a national security issue? Is this a safety issue? And should these air traffic controllers be retiring after 25 years of service?"
I normally don’t post White House propaganda, but this is so Orwellian it’s unbelievable.
Wonder what they plan to do with the Museum of African American History, turn it into the Ministry of Truth?

“President Trump regards people who take their constitutional oath seriously as, by definition, his political enemies. His attack on public service is not about reform; it’s a first strike against a key obstacle to authoritarianism”

Elon Musk's DOGE team of misfits have fired everybody at the Federal Aviation Administration ✈️ who is a probationary employee
Thinking they have got rid of all the new hires
It turns out many of these were experienced technicians, recently promoted and were on probation for their new senior role
I’ve heard some stories recently of people complying with fascists’ demands after they were threatened.
As a violence researcher (and someone who has received a good deal of threats), everyone should know that complying will not save you. It only teaches the threatener that threats work.
Johns Hopkins officials said the NIH funding cut puts at risk approximately 600 current and ongoing clinical trials at Hopkins, including open clinical trials in cancer, pediatrics and children’s health, heart and vascular studies and the aging brain. www.thebaltimorebanner.com/education/hi...
Don't worry, next time there's a major conflict, the Pentagon won't set into motion an intricate strategy that effectively coordinates the work of military resources across the globe.
No, they'll just send this greasy dipshit out there to do some wicked deadlifts. That'll do it.
The guy who wants sharp minds and bodies and is acting like a brand new lieutenant trying to impress the troops and not the Secretary of Defense...misspelled bureaucracy.
People may not understand just how important federal science research funding is to the prosperity of the nation. I tried to explain it, because it's under unprecedented and direct assault.
“Mark my words. … They are going to basically tell the U.S. Marshals Service, do not enforce any of these orders, we will not obey them, … and, once that happens—I hope it doesn't … but I know in my heart that it will—our 236-year experiment … in American constitutionalism, is over.”
We've now advanced to the chapter in GIbbon where the mad emperor's barbarian bodyguards have seized control of the treasury - while the mad emperor spends his days choosing plays for the imperial theater.
We've reached the chapter in Gibbon where the mad emperor is appointing magicians, acrobats, and paid agents of the Persians to the highest offices of state.
The people who voted for Trump because they thought he’d pull the U.S. back from foreign entanglements and overseas adventurism are really among the prime suckers of our era.
Any news outlet reporting Mexico conceded anything to Trump to get him to delay tariffs has not done its homework.
Trump boasts he got Mexico to commit to stationing 10K troops at our border. Apparently he didn't realize Mexico already has 15K troops deployed there

Fellow NSA - National Security Agency veterans. Look at what’s happened at the National Cryptologic Museum. They covered up with brown paper the photos of Women in American Cryptology. All in response to President Trump’s anti-diversity executive order.
You say: they shutdown USAID.
You mean: they illegally broke in to a secure facility over a weekend, hijacked sensitive data on vulnerable people and US businesses, destroyed property Americans paid for, cut off resources for sick and hungry families, and fired Americans across the country.
Not only did Jimmy Carter live long enough to vote against Donald Trump, but he somehow died at a time Donald Trump finds to be very inconvenient.

Heard Brett Stephen’s on the Bulwark podcast before the election. He is a whiny, privileged asshole. Makes me want to cancel the NYT.
Though I’m no conservative, I like this conservative’s response.
Please re-tweet so I can quit X. I've got 45k followers there, just 500 here. When I get to 5k I can dump Musk forever

NBC: Mississippi Free Press "Bluesky is getting 20 times the engagement or more than Twitter,” Pittman said. “Seeing a social media platform that doesn’t throttle links really makes it clear how badly we were being limited.”
