chaos/firings and nuclear stockpile aren't two things that go great together
NEW: Inside the chaos around the firings at NNSA -- the agency overseeing the US nuclear stockpile. A source said over 300 employees were fired because “no one has taken anytime to understand what we do and the importance of our work to the nation’s national security.” www.cnn.com/2025/02/14/c...
Trump officials fired nuclear staff not realizing they oversee the country’s weapons stockpile, sources say | CNN
Some of the fired probationary employees included on-the-ground staff at facilities where nuclear weapons are built.

Kudos to France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain and the UK with this strong joint statement vowing to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty & demanding a role in the peace talks.
But absolutely heartbreaking - a western alliance that does not include the US.

The FBI must disclose more info about Trump’s classified documents case, a judge has ruled. The judge noted that while the dropped charges against Trump reduced his criminal exposure, they “ironically” made him more susceptible to public scrutiny.

I would love to know what his voters think about these cabinet appointees but they like to ignore his crazy...to the detriment of our country. This is just unbelievable to me.
“Trump appears determined to test if he can squander the goodwill he has, and when he does, it will only serve to reinforce what many already know: his leadership is a clear and present danger to the principles that hold this nation together.” My latest:
