Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...
This is the most dangerous move yet

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

When a judge stops the president from doing something illegal, that’s not a “threat to democracy,” that’s a check on the president’s power. That's the whole damn point.

The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to allow it to fire the head of the Office of Special Counsel, which oversees government whistleblower protections and enforces certain ethics laws.

For any Republicans out there-- don't you see what's happening? Your elected officials, drunk with power, are quietly and quickly getting filthy rich. And in exchange, they're cutting your Medicaid, cutting your education funding, cutting SNAP benefits, cutting medical research.

Where you at Dems ? You fighting to get them far better severance or going to ignore them, and all others in similar circumstances?
Termination notices going out this afternoon to more than 300 employees of the National Cancer Institute. Access likely ends today. Four weeks paid leave and that’s it.
Strong power move for Team Cancer.

Roblox has functioned as a lord of the flies simulator for young teens for years and it has incubated a small subset of gen z who have already engaged in substantial cybercrimes such as distribution of CSAM, sextortion of minors, harassment, abuse, and stalking all before they have even turned 18.

Donald Trump's decision to bar the Associated Press today from entering the Oval Office was the latest, and most significant attack on the free press since he took office.
We need a strong independent media to take on Trump.
I will never back down.

The CFPB has returned $21 billion to 205 million consumers who were scammed at the hands of predatory banks. You can root out waste, fraud, and abuse... or you can eliminate the CFPB. But you can't do both.

In one of Elon’s outcries about fraud, he actually ended up cutting funding for cancer research. Despite initially denying it, he was later proven wrong. This incident highlights how little he actually understands about what he’s doing.

What the actual *?! The White House has designated Mr. Musk’s office, the United States DOGE Service, as an entity protected from public records requests and most judicial intervention until at least 2034, by classifying its documents as presidential records.

Leadership is about listening, empowering communities, and solving problems. It’s what I’ve spent my career doing and it’s what I’ll do as Governor. It’s time to put Ohio families first.

Under fascism, no one is safe.
Universities stayed quiet as the admin targeted DEI & foreign aid, censored research, etc.
Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations.
Silence won’t protect institutions. It won’t protect people; it never does.

The Trump administration not only fired Coast Guard Admiral Linda Fagan, but a Trump official told her she had only three hours to vacate her house.
Don’t ever tell me Republicans support the military.

It turns out entrusting our democracy to a bunch of white Christian nationalists who only see government as a means to enrich themselves and punish their enemies is a really bad idea, actually.
