It is not up to the armed forces to put a stop to Trump’s ghastly ideas of war against NATO. The United States is not run by the military, nor should it be. Americans, and their elected representatives, must take this burden away from the armed forces—now.

The Military Is Being Forced to Plan for an Unthinkable Betrayal
Attacking an ally would be a perversion of everything the armed forces have been trained to do.

Duffy on the shortage of air traffic controllers: "We have too many controllers that retire after 25 years of service. And so we have to look and go, is this a national security issue? Is this a safety issue? And should these air traffic controllers be retiring after 25 years of service?"

I normally don’t post White House propaganda, but this is so Orwellian it’s unbelievable.

Wonder what they plan to do with the Museum of African American History, turn it into the Ministry of Truth?

“President Trump regards people who take their constitutional oath seriously as, by definition, his political enemies. His attack on public service is not about reform; it’s a first strike against a key obstacle to authoritarianism”

Elon Musk's DOGE team of misfits have fired everybody at the Federal Aviation Administration ✈️ who is a probationary employee

Thinking they have got rid of all the new hires

It turns out many of these were experienced technicians, recently promoted and were on probation for their new senior role

I’ve heard some stories recently of people complying with fascists’ demands after they were threatened.

As a violence researcher (and someone who has received a good deal of threats), everyone should know that complying will not save you. It only teaches the threatener that threats work.

Don't worry, next time there's a major conflict, the Pentagon won't set into motion an intricate strategy that effectively coordinates the work of military resources across the globe.

No, they'll just send this greasy dipshit out there to do some wicked deadlifts. That'll do it.

Any news outlet reporting Mexico conceded anything to Trump to get him to delay tariffs has not done its homework.
Trump boasts he got Mexico to commit to stationing 10K troops at our border. Apparently he didn't realize Mexico already has 15K troops deployed there
