When the right to dissent becomes regulated, and the powers that be start picking and choosing which freedoms are acceptable, the slide towards authoritarianism becomes guaranteed.

I have a sinking feeling about Saturday and beyond. Disgusted that our troops would entertain this babble, but little surprises me anymore.
It is truly a 10-alarm fire that he's giving such a hatefully partisan speech in front of cheering uniformed troops.

Wildfire on the local mountain. I’ve never seen fire behavior like this on the east coast. Still 0% contained. Photo was taken outside of Shippensburg last evening at 11:00 P.M.

This morning, Rasmussen reported Donald Trump's favorability at -3, with an approval index of -10. You know things are shit when Rasmussen reflects this, as they typically show a strong Republican bias. I expect his approval ratings to drop significantly, just like the markets. So much winning!

Imagine if the American military in World War II were run by such transactional, ally-despising chuckleheads.

"Yeah, I say we make them agree to pay us before we even bother."
"FIST! US FLAG! EXPLOSION!"

The Defense Secretary and several others need to resign and face charges. Every member of Congress should demand it. Nothing less is acceptable.
Also, all federal employees, to include FBI special agents, need to remember their oath is to the Constitution, not the president or a cabinet secretary.

18 U.S.C. § 793(f) makes it a federal crime to for people entrusted with information related to the national defense to, with gross negligence, disclose it to others in violation of that trust.

This hits close to home. ICE has detained five Bhutanese residents that have LEGAL status. They were transferred to out of state detention centers. Central PA is home to over 40,000 Bhutanese refugees. We must put an end to these inhumane and illegal detentions. NOW! Free the Harrisburg five.

In other words: the richest man on Earth, who owns a space technology company, is slashing the US government’s space program — with no electoral mandate to do so
Friday evening DOGE news continues — NASA staffers have received a memo saying that DOGE “has arrived onsite at the agency” and that the agency is anticipating the “large-scale reductions in force” ordered by the Trump-Musk-Vance administration.

Unreal. DOGE posted National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) headcounts.
NRO budgets and headcounts are classified to prevent adversaries from using them to extrapolate our intelligence priorities.
Stop giving kids who don’t know what the fuck they’re doing access to this shit.

The shock and awe strategy of the Trump admin is seemingly working. There is a new constitutional crisis almost daily, and elected Dem leadership is floundering.
I do not ever see a path to relative normalcy if we stay the course. Our representatives won't even answer the phone!

DOJ leadership has put all Public Integrity Section lawyers into a room with 1 hour to decide who will dismiss Adams indictment or else all will be fired. Sending them strength to stand by their oath, which is to support the Constitution, not the president’s political agenda. 🇺🇸
