Meanwhile, earlier today Pete Hegseth bragged about how he fired 20% of the country’s generals, weeding out the ones he and Trump find disloyal to their agenda And while I hope to G-d these things aren’t related, I’m terrified that they are

📌NEWS: Pete Hegseth said that the Pentagon is eliminating 1 in 5 generals and admirals. 📌NOTE: Authoritarian regimes eliminate military leaders who they believe aren't loyal to the regime. 📌UPSHOT: This is a very concerning development in the GOP's ongoing attack on America and her Democracy.

The purging of Top Generals from the U.S. Military by Hegseth, as with the purging of the FBI by Kash Patel and the wholesale destruction of the DOJ by both Pam Blondie & Todd Blanche, is NOT making you any safer! Sycophancy and blind loyalty to a regime, … www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

It's like a parody, but it's deadly serious; the Commerce Department (which includes Census, NOAA, and others) has outright deleted "don't alter or suppress scientific findings for political reasons" from its scientific integrity rules. Seriously.

Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth didn’t have to shut down this office. It was a conscious decision on their part They specifically chose to end a program that would prevent civilians from being killed by the US war machine In other words-they chose to commit war crimes in Iran #OperationEpicFailure

Well, the Trump administration’s EPA found a simple way to stop hearing from the public just eliminate the requirement to ask them. The EPA is scrapping public notice and comment requirements for air pollution permits on new data centers and the power plants needed to run them.

"The idea that you can simultaneously attack Canadians and also benefit from what's in Canada— is absurd and it makes no sense." "[The US] cannot have a positive relationship with Canada —while at the same time attacking us, running us down, saying they want to take us over." #cdnpoli

Stephen froze like a deer in the headlights and pretended to have connection issues because he unintentionally gave away the game plan. “Plenary authority is complete, absolute power over a specific area or issue, with no significant limitations." Show people this clip. This is an insane slip up.

📌REPEATING: If Trump hadn't unilaterally withdrawn from the Iran nuclear agreement crafted by Obama it would NOT have a stockpile of highly enriched uranium today. Iran was IN FULL COMPLIANCE with the agreement. This mess was created ENTIRELY by Trump. This isn’t reported near enough.

Now would be a perfect time to mention that the MAGA regime has spent the last few days especially the last 24 hours scrubbing all info and archives related to their Jan 6 insurrection. This would be called treason and yet another massive criminal cover up.

Yes, any weekend that Trump doesn’t fly away to golf and remains in Washington is a dead giveaway that fuckery is afoot. Alas, so many possible diversions from which to choose. He couldn’t go to Don Jr.’s wedding because The Bahamas won’t allow adjudicated rapists into their country.

If the reports are true, Trump agreeing to allow Iran to keep its enriched uranium would be a total American surrender. What an abject humiliation for the United States in front of the entire world. Trump’s weakness and failure on full display.
