The number of service members and civilians shot and killed on US military bases over the next 2+ years is going to rise quite a bit.

The first woman, the first person of colour, and the first non-American just left Earth's orbit.

Another step in Trump & Hegseth’s relentless effort to politicize the military. By the time this stuff gets the attention it deserves it will be too late. But I will keep talking and writing about it.

Pete Hegseth forced the US Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George to step down and take immediate retirement, he will be replaced with Hegseth's long term military aide who will be less likely to question illegal orders. This comes only a few weeks into the war with Iran.

According to the Times:

The Bondi firing will get all the attention but what Hegseth is doing with the upper echelons of the military is much more dangerous over time than Bondi’s tenure as AG. And it won’t get 1% of the coverage. Someday it will get a lot of coverage, and those will be dark days.

this is the chaplain btw. wonder why he was fired.

Amazon is adding a fuel surcharge for third-party sellers because of the high price of gas thanks to Donald’s war in Iran. That means prices will go up for consumers. Yet another reason not to buy from Bezos, who helped cause this mess.

For me personally, the worst part of Pam Bondi getting fired is that I keep having to fast forwarding through reruns of her greatest hits and most insane rantings on my TV. It was hard enough to listen to her shrieking nonsense the first time around.

A montage of JD Vance saying he “never liked” Trump, “never tells the truth,” is a “total fraud,” doesn’t “care about people,” and he “can’t stomach” him.

NEWSMAX: I wonder if you can respond to some breaking news we got a few moments ago that the Secretary of War has asked the Army Chief of Staff to step down REP. McCORMICK: That would be news to me. That would be very surprising. I'd look into it immediately, because Gen. George is a brilliant mind

In case you were wondering: Yes, there is a Jonathan the Great Tortoise angle to the Pam Bondi firing news.

Hegseth and Trump have experienced advisors who told them what would happen. But both of them are convinced they know more than all the experts, and now they're mad at Iran for not cooperating.

193 year old Jonathan is still chilling, enjoying life.🥰🐢 toronto.citynews.ca/2026/04/02/w...

Pam Bondi turned our Department of Justice into the Department of Corruption, protecting pedophiles and going after Trump's enemies list at the expense of the American people. Good riddance. Now, fire Hegseth.

OK, Bondi got fired when I was at the gym. Now, I’m off to get my hair cut. 👀

Exactly one year since Trump started taxing Americans with his illegal tariffs: Americans are paying more for less. Inflation remains high. U.S. manufacturing jobs are falling. Supply chains and partnerships are excluding America.

Maybe Congress should return? Bit of a shitshow here in DC.

Here's a gift link to NY Times reporter David Sanger's clear-eyed assessment of Trump's untenable posture on the war with Iran. To those of you who think NYT sucks all of the time, I must insist that it only sucks some of the time.

Interesting. I wonder how Ellison is feeling about Trump now?

George didn't say a word in public about the terrible stuff Hegseth was doing but he's fired anyway

yeah, well the Epstein files aint done with you!

BREAKING: Austria has closed its airspace to US military involved in war the Iran.

Sen. Roger Marshall: "The filibuster does protect the minority. And we will be in the minority again."

Either he knows he's lying, or he believes his own lies. Both are highly troubling.

Jeff Bezos' Washington Post editorial board endorsed Pam Bondi as a "qualified" and "serious" pick for Attorney General. Nowhere in the endorsement did they mention that she's a former Amazon lobbyist. Another reminder that billionaire control of our media is a threat to democracy.

Garcia: "Todd Blanche has a lot to answer for, because he's also been involved in the Epstein files and how they've been released"

Todd Blanche, the new acting attorney general. 🙄

Hegseth is a war criminal looking for scapegoat.

Hegseth's military purges are what I call "ethics cleansing." He's getting rid of people who might not support his war crimes agenda and might think twice if he orders American troops to attack the American people.

Donald fired Pam Bondi for one reason and one reason only: she didn't do enough to cover up for him. And she really tried.

Don't get it twisted. Pam Bondi must still come before the Oversight Committee as mandated by our subpoena. She must answer for her coverup of the Epstein files and weaponization of the DOJ. We owe it to survivors and to the public to hold her accountable.

By the way, the main orchestrator of the Epstein cover up is not Acting Attorney General of the United States.

🇬🇧 STARMER: “I do have to level with people - this will not be easy. It’s now clear the impact of this war will affect the future of our country.” World leaders tell their people to take the bus, etc. — all because of Trump and Netanyahu’s cruel, obscene war.

This is a big deal and it’s flying below the radar—Trump’s DOJ just gave him a huge gift in the form of a legal opinion declaring that the Presidential Records Act is unconstitutional. Let’s be clear: that’s nonsense. We’ll break it down 🧵

People born in this country are Americans, as guaranteed by the 14th Amendment. That's the principle we defended before the Supreme Court this week.
