It’s a witch hunt, and career public servants who have done nothing but serve their country are the witches. Trump intends to install only loyalists in the intelligence community. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

"Despite Trump officially activating FEMA on Sunday, FEMA has just 86 total staff deployed at this point [to Texas], according to figures shared with staff Monday evening...In the past it would normally be in the several hundreds at this point in the disaster recovery process."

My latest:
FEMA response to deadly Texas floods delayed & deficient with Noem in charge

If you get your news from the three network affiliates or read the local newspaper in Columbus Ohio you have no idea that the markets are melting down and that the 80-year-old world economic order is cratering. All you know is that it'sgonna rain today and the Buckeyes spring game is soon.

The Chief Justice speaks out to protect democracy, at least as far as his own institution is concerned. Hopefully this signals an intent to stand for more. In the face of silence from the GOP, he has chosen to take this remarkable step of warning the president to back off.

They want the unreviewable power to grab people and render them to a foreign gulag.
If the Supreme Court ultimately agrees with what the gov't is arguing today, that the President has broad Article II powers that would permit it to deport people & there can be no judicial review, then literally no one is safe.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

Peaceful protests, of course, are not “illegal.” A government ban on peaceful protests would violate the First Amendment. The goal here seems to be intimidation and fear to chill free speech.

“You never know what you’ve got till it’s gone.” Miss the days where American presidents were leaders of the free world. As Trump & GOP pivot from democracy and goodwill, Europe hasn’t forgotten. Listen to Danish PM remind the world Zelensky and Ukrainians are heroes as well as Russia’s threat.
“The best thing about heroes is that they always win at the end. And if they aren’t winning, then it’s not the end.” —Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen in Kyiv

Let's say their names:

* General CQ Brown, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff: FIRED FOR BEING BLACK

* Admiral Lisa Franchetti, Chief of Naval Operations: FIRED FOR BEING FEMALE

* Admiral Linda Fagan, Coast Guard Commandant: FIRED FOR BEING FEMALE

All replaced by less qualified white guys.
its genuinely insane that they're firing CJCS for being black and CNO for being a woman. that is what's happening here

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.
