Former defense chiefs denounce Trump’s ‘reckless’ Pentagon firings Jim Mattis and four other former defense secretaries called Trump’s ouster of Gen. C.Q. Brown and other top military officers dangerous and unjustified.

Five former defense secretaries denounced President Trump’s firing last week of the Joint Chiefs chairman and several other senior military officials, saying that the officers were “fired for purely partisan reasons” and urging Congress to hold hearings.

Don’t let Donold’s AI Gaza video distract you from the fact they’re going to destroy Medicaid and kill millions in exchange for tax cuts for themselves.

Trump’s attempts to denigrate Zelenskyy have led to a surge in Ukrainian unity After their initial shock at Trump’s false claims that Ukraine is led by a “dictator” who started the war with Russia, the Ukrainian people are rallying around their President.

Opinion | Trump’s Medicaid flip-flop should worry any American on Social Security The president and his allies are already laying the groundwork to renege on promises not to cut Medicare or Social Security.

“Despite the president’s promise the night before on Fox, the House GOP budget leaves Medicaid anything but ‘untouched.’”

@jamescdownie.bsky.social writes about how Trump changed his mind about Medicaid cuts. Medicare and Social Security could be next.

Hey fam. We know this has been a tough Monday in the midst of a very tough winter.

Now that the latest panic about Elon is over, remember that mass requests are not aimed to cut staff. This is how they demoralize.

Elon is a troll and is tweeting for reactions.

IGNORE HIM.

DO NOT RESPOND.

On Ukraine, Europe must step into the void | Virgin

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.

Hagan Scotten, Adams’s Lead Prosecutor, Quits Defiantly Hagan Scotten told Justice Department officials that he would not be party to a political prosecution. He was the latest in a succession of federal prosecutors to quit.

The lead prosecutor on the case against Mayor Eric Adams of New York City resigned after Justice Department officials ordered the dismissal of charges. “I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”
