Just sit with this for a minute. The administration is saying that veterans, who served their country in the military, are not *fit* to help serve that country in civil service. What an insult to them and their loyalty to country.

🧡The intersection of the Musk & Putin agendas are coming into focus. Here's what I think is happening. I hope I'm wrong.

Key to understand:

1. Trump=POTUS in Name Only (PINO), while Musk runs the US day to day.

2. Musk & Putin put T in office; many of his actions now are repayment of that debt.

Wyoming woman's hilarious pronoun protest goes viral: 'Thank you, Madam Chairman' Chairman Tim French, who voted against using preferred pronouns, appeared annoyed when his own pronouns weren't respected recently.

This is classic.

Legislator votes that "using incorrect pronouns" is freedom of speech.

Gets pissy that he is addressed by "Madame Chiarman"

Turns out the Twitter takeover was the practice run for an actual coup. Fire everyone and seize control of the servers.

Trump administration orders sweeping freeze of federal aid In a two-page memo, the Office of Management and Budget ordered all federal agencies to temporarily suspend payments.

Trump is blowing up the Constitution and dismantling democracy before our eyes.

Freezing all federal grants is a radical transformation of the relationship between the President & Congress.

It’s illegal & dictatorial & Americans will die as a result.

Defund something that isn’t government funded? Pretty sure that’s just theft.
