What did Trump accomplish by firing two highly decorated military leaders?

He now has a fully white male Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Still think we’re over-reacting about white nationalism?

The full front cover is dominated by a picture of Zelenskyy. The word BETRAYED is written in German (VERRATEN) across his chest in yellow. The rest of the subtitle is underneath.

Powerful. Tomorrow’s front page of the most influential weekly publication in Germany.

“BETRAYED. First Zelensky, Soon Us? The radical departure of the US from its allies.”

Look, it’s all very confusing. They could be hailing a cab…indoors. Or doing their best Katniss Everdeen impression. Who’s to say?

Send a message to giant companies ripping us off. On Feb. 28, don't shop online, in big box stores, no Amazon, no Walmart, no Best Buy, fast food nor gas. Just one day will send a powerful message. Think they'll miss our DEI dollars? Don't spend. Then let them know why.

What I want to know is why would they willingly give up their power, their Constitutional duty, to someone who has NEVER kept his promises. Why would you want to live the rest of your life tap dancing for the dictator?

There’s another government funding deadline in a month. I’d like to remind everyone, especially the media that REPUBLICANS control the House, the Senate, and the White House. Funding the govt is on them—they need ZERO Dem votes.

So when there is a shutdown, place the blame where it’s due.

Extract from NYT which says:

"This chain of Trump's statements is a chain of humiliation for people like me, people who believed that there was law and justice in the world, said Anna Murlykina, a 50-year-old journalist who fled to Kyiv from Mariupol in 2022.
"When you live in a world that is crumbling under your feet," she said, "the only thing that helps you survive is to believe in guidelines, in civilized democratic countries that uphold values. When countries like the United States cease to be pillars, there is nothing to hope for."

This is one of the most poignant quotes I’ve ever read, from a Ukrainian journalist who fled fighting in Mariupol. In today’s New York Times.

For all the insane politics in the US, it still remained a beacon of democratic hope for millions internationally.

Trump has extinguished that.

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..."

Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up.

I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million.

Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?
