Hegseth: "A few months ago I was at the White House when President Trump announced his liberation day for America's trade policy. It was a landmark day. Well, today is another liberation day. The liberation of America's warriors ... you kill people and break things for a living."

It's absolutely insane that Elon Musk and his wrecking crew are saying they're firing entire swaths of our government infrastructure and the press are just like "oh that's sad but what are you gonna do, guess they're fired." It is batshit crazypants, and it's being covered like normal policy choices
The U.S. has two tsunami warning centers, both operated by NOAA. Employees were terminated from these centers today. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center covers Hawaiʻi, and now it is less safe to be near the beach.

Presidential regulation of Congressionally created independent agencies, stopping funding of the SEC, Federal Trade Commission, Labor Relations Board, the Fed as it pertains to Wall Street and FCC? Power to interpret the law now vested in the President and “his” AG? What could possibly go wrong?

I’m a Lutheran Pastor and we love all kinds of people with food and housing, healthcare, and disaster response with things like quilts for comfort. If compassion is wrong, I don’t want to be right. Elon and Mike and DOGE accuse us of money laundering BUT the only thing we launder is the quilts.
