Anderson Cooper & Scott Pelley talk about how corporate news orgs don’t have the support of their corporate overlords to speak truth to power.
This is why independent outlets like us exist. Would be great if we didn’t have to. 🤷🏻♂️

1/ If accurate, this is almost certainly a conflict with the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits the use of the military for domestic law enforcement, including the National Guard if they are federalized.

Deploying the military on U.S. soil as law enforcement against Americans was on page 555 of Project 2025.
So don’t say “I didn’t vote for this,” because you did.
This isn’t a response.
This was always their plan.

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle.
Don't give them one.
Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

State Department has formally told Congress that it plans to sell more than $7 billion in weapons to Israel, including thousands of bombs and missiles, just two days after Trump met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House.

Politico helped Trump launder lies during the campaign and he’s been on a week-long rampage against them anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This Politico story from last October shows how easy it is to launder lies through the press. It claimed Trump would ban anyone tied to Project 2025 from a job in a second Trump administration.
“Clearly people working on Project 2025 are blacklisted,” said an unidentified Trump insider. 1/4🧵

The names include conservatives linked to Project 2025 and Republicans viewed as disloyal to the former president.

Think of the danger. 🤔
📌I've been doing my best to check the veracity of this info, and nobody in a position to know disputes that at the bare minimum, there's a very real possibility that all of us have been compromised.
📌This is would be the worst internal attack on the American public in history. Second isn't close.

I was flying today from west coast to Midwest. Pilot warned we might experience some delays because of “heavy air traffic” and “a shortage of FAA employees today” Honest to god this accident is a direct result of DJT’s purposeful destruction of federal government. Investigate this!
