Why does Trump want to replace all the Generals in the Army?

Because they are loyal American patriots who took an Oath to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States,”

AND they have the power to Declare Martial Law…

He wants Generals loyal only to HIM.

If you recently bought a portable generator, remember that it can create deadly levels of carbon monoxide in minutes. Do NOT run your generator indoors - ever. Run it outside at least 20 feet away from your home and make sure your carbon monoxide alarms are working.

Republicans attempt power grab in Minnesota GOP lawmakers are trying to unseat an elected representative and force appointments through without a quorum.

Minnesota Republican lawmakers are trying to:

1. Unseat a democrat elected to the state house (despite a judge's ruling Tuesday.)
2. Force leadership appointments through (despite the secretary of state advising the GOP didn't meet the state's quorum threshold.) www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Sen. Slotkin asking Hegseth if there is ever an illegal order that could come from the Commander-in-Chief & if he’d refuse to comply, and Hegseth refuses to answer the question.

Building the Opposition From Marc | The success of our democracy rests on an effective opposition movement.

"Hoping that Trump fails is not a plan. We must develop and foster new movements, structures, tactics, platforms and leaders to oppose Trump and articulate a positive vision. In most democratic political systems, this is referred to as the opposition."

"When Mexico sends its people, they're sending their best. They're sending firefighters to help solve American problems. They're bringing fire fighting uniforms. They're bringing fire fighting equipment. They're bringing kittens down from trees. And all, I assume, are good people."

MAGA Republicans:

We think Pete Hegseth is totally qualified to run the US “Miltary!”

(See sign 🥴)

We don’t want any of that CRT or DEI involved. We just want white men who can’t spell! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

to this country that this chucklefuck was even nominated

TODAY’S EPISODE OF:
WE FU*CKING WARNED YOU

Trump ran on cutting government waste. Apparently, your healthcare IS government waste.

What a huge red flag that Hegseth refused to meet with Democratic Senators prior to his confirmation hearing.

Duckworth: "He's already had to pay off a woman who accused him of sexual assault in order to keep his last job at Fox News. What is he gonna be willing to do to pay off the next accuser who might show up after he becomes secretary of defense and has access to the nuclear codes?"

Maybe call your Senators and remind them that FBI Director Nominee, Kash Patel, helped Donald STEAL classified documents to store by his toilet.

My heart is full because people are listening to the audio version of Vol I of Jack Smith’s final report. The truth matters!

So ad buys worth millions of dollars from PACs funded by right wing billionaires

Coupled with primary threats from MAGA loudmouths

Caused Republican Senator Joni Ernst to drop all pretense of having scruples

And bought her vote for the stunningly unqualified Pete Hegseth

Ethical
Cowardice

Got muh mustard-colored trousers and I'm gonna go hang out with matilda and lick some cheeto dust!

FYI for those in L.A.

Please when you share photographs of the palisades fire, try and credit the photographers. They are my friends and colleagues, and they are risking their lives on the front lines.

Tell your Senators: Oppose Project 2025 Architect Russell Vought for Director of the Office of Management and Budget Contact Congress today!

The architect of Project 2025's confirmation hearing is tomorrow. We gotta get loud about this one. Send your letters to your Senators demanding they oppose Russell Vought. Let's go. actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

This was the kind of questioning that was effective

No one human is worth that much, brings that much value to the world.

It's obscene. Imagine if these people invested even half of their hordes back into the economy. Paid their employees enough to live comfortably.

Agreed!

It's one of the 40 million things a day that infuriate me. Bullshit little "fees" on everything.

Making everything a la carte. Hotel rooms will charge separately for a bed, towels, bed linens and so on...
