You don't fire the military lawyers (JAG) and the Chairman of Joint Chiefs if you aren't planning on pushing your "Commander in Chief" status to the limit.
Let's hope there are soldiers who will uphold their oath since our leaders aren't.

They learned something from their first term.
The only thing that stops a bad guy with a grift is a good guy with principles.
So this time they're firing all the good guys with principles.

Wreaking havoc on the federal government is not about “efficiency” — it’s about power.
If Republicans cared about efficiency, they’d introduce legislation, and we could debate it in Congress. Instead, they’re creating maximum chaos to give power and handouts to billionaires.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

NYT has a great piece today on how badly the US has fallen behind on childhood immunization rates. This trend of course started before RFK Jr’s nomination per the article, but his rhetoric—which ignores decades of rigorous scientific study—has been very much helped fuel the decline. 🧵

The Hunter Biden story is a perfect encapsulation of what’s wrong with American media:
Is it a story? Sure.
But every newspaper in America devoting front page headlines to Hunter fucking Biden while Trump appoints a cabal of rapists, racists and con-men to positions of enormous power is MADNESS.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but "owning the libs" is NOT acceptable criteria for selecting members of a Presidential cabinet that will affect the lives of millions.
Picking family members, sex offenders, and Russian assets is proof that trump remains a threat to America.
