Best thing our allies can remember: if you stand up to Trump you intimidate him and he will back down. If you crawl to him (like his sycophantic politicians) he will not respect you and will eventually throw you under the bus.

Why does Trump want to replace all the Generals in the Army?
Because they are loyal American patriots who took an Oath to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States,”
AND they have the power to Declare Martial Law…
He wants Generals loyal only to HIM.

If you recently bought a portable generator, remember that it can create deadly levels of carbon monoxide in minutes. Do NOT run your generator indoors - ever. Run it outside at least 20 feet away from your home and make sure your carbon monoxide alarms are working.

FYI, folks from Bluesky. Reporters at The NYT, among other news organizations, are now generating a giant wave of accountability stories about the new Trump era. Reading these stories, sharing them, is a form of accountability as well. It is a form of participatory democracy too. Substance matters.
