NYT reports Hegseth is firing generals because they won’t take Black/female officers off the promotions list.🤔 In the middle of a war. 🎪

This is outrageous. And personally depressing. People over 65 and those with chronic conditions will get sick and die. Just because the younger healthy people don't fear COVID anymore doesn't mean everyone else has nothing to fear. And just because MAHA is stupid and insane that should not happen.

Trump is committing war crimes in Iran and is threatening more and worse ones. His entire war strategy at this point is war crimes. A functional Congress would be far down the road of impeachment and removal.

Reuters: Hegseth fires two more generals, David Hodne and William Green Jr., alongside Army Chief Of Staff Randy George

NBC: Hegseth has taken steps to block or delay promotions for more than a dozen Black and female senior officers across all four branches of the military, some of whom are seen as having been targeted because of their race, gender or perceived affiliation with Biden admin, per 9 officials.

yeah and leonid brezhnev was hero of the soviet union four times over

According to the Times:

there are so many things i hate about the fascist project, but administration officials making up increasingly absurd lies about the amazing mind of Donald Trump is way up there

Rep. Pat Ryan: "I was on the phone yesterday with a mom of a an Air Force airman deployed in the region before the speech and imagine her watching this hoping for some real news. 'Maybe my son is coming home or at least there is a plan and a strategy.' We got none of that. It's infuriating."

Trump announced his "Liberation Day" tariffs a year ago today & his presidency never recovered. The only reason things didn't fall apart for him sooner in 1st term was the economy was good. But tariffs wrecked that & undermined his appeal w/low info voters who've been sour on the economy ever since

the president of the United States is a madman seriously damaging the entire world

By now it’s become unmistakable that Hegseth’s tenure has been marked by open and unrestrained sadism and bloodlust. trib.al/uMEY2k9

Bombing residential buildings to kill “moderate” politicians trying to broker a deal. Absolute madness. Either Trump is lying about wanting a deal, or Netanyahu wants to kill anyone who might help it happen. Or both. Again: Bibi hated the Iran Deal because it worked.

Trump is preparing to release a fiscal year 2027 budget plan on Friday that will frame the GOP's midterm election message around a massive defense buildup, partially paid for by cuts to domestic agencies, health-care and other services.

An enduring classic

Trump is an imbecile told he's a genius. He's a traitor told he's a patriot. He's a heathen told he's the Messiah. He is evil told that he's good. Trump is despised and told that he's loved. Trump was crafted to be the worst human imaginable and then given unchecked power.

finally

“It will just open up naturally,” Trump says about the Strait of Hormuz. He also once said, at the beginning of the pandemic, that COVID would end by itself. "One day — it’s like a miracle — it will disappear"

Mockler: The idea that he was reassuring Americans that this won't be a forever war was contradicted by what we were just talking about. They're setting up perpetual oversight in the air so they can perpetually see what Iran is doing.

I don't know of any Somali-Americans who've wiped away half a trillion dollars in market capitalization with one 20-minute speech.

Lawrence O’Donnell made a great point. Nixon won his 1972 re-election in a landslide, winning 49 states. In 1974 he resigned. By 1976, you couldn’t find anyone who would admit to supporting him. Looking forward to history repeating itself.

Thursday

Mockler: If we have won so decisively, why can't we get a single ship through the strait of hormuz? Why won't we even try to escort a ship through the strait of hormuz?

The Biden debate performance that ended his presidency was one-tenth as addled as what I'm watching right now.

Could be worse. We could have had a woman president.

Guys relax, the reason Trump is just repeating old shit he's already said is simply because the leader of the free world's brain doesn't work anymore

The 82nd Airborne Division deployed to the Middle East may complete a high-risk mission to retrieve uranium stored deep underground in Iran’s Isfahan nuclear site. Many will likely die. But they wouldn't have to if Trump had not pulled out of the Iran Nuclear Deal in 2018. trib.al/9qifWQ9

"When should we schedule this pointless primetime presidential speech that offers no new developments and no news? The calendar is wide open." "Uh, how about April Fool's Day?" "Perfection." (finger guns)

Trump is dying.

I almost stroked out listening to this.

Anyone watching that speech has no idea whether Trump is escalating or deescalating the war with Iran. But to be fair, neither does he so🤷‍♂️.

Let's crucify him and bury him in a tomb to see if he can hit for the cycle.

Syracuse is named after a classical Greek city known for its practical and artistic ceramics, a city which is now in Italy. When we kill the humanities we kill self-knowledge. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/01/n...

Absolute gutter racism and nonstop lies. This is a thousand times worse than Ronald Reagan’s “welfare queen” lies. Any other modern president would have had to resign if they said these things on camera.

NEWS: MAGA Mike caves on DHS funding. After refusing to bring it to the floor amid pressure from Trump, Mike Johnson just announced, in a joint statement with Majority Leader Thune, he’ll move forward the SAME Senate DHS bill passed unanimously last week that excludes ICE and CBP funding.

🤔

When you've lost Newsmax...

Understand that if Trump ends his War as he just told Reuters and US voters he would, it's the second war he's lost to Iran in a year. No regime change. No nuclear material recovered. No deal to stop enrichment. Strait of Hormuz closed. Ballistic missiles falling on Israel daily.

Starmer announces that the UK is pursuing closer EU relations: “Brexit did deep damage to our economy. And the opportunities to strengthen our security and cut the cost of living are simply too big to ignore. We want to be more ambitious. Closer economic cooperation. Closer security cooperation.”

Just wait until these eyesore monstrosities want to come to your neighborhood. Goodbye trees. Expect to hear a constant, electrical humming, warmer temperatures and higher energy bills. Fight like hell to keep data centers out of your area.

Trump's approval for handling the economy has fallen to a new career low of 31%, according to a new CNN-SSRS poll. Just 27% approve of Trump's handling of inflation. Trump's overall approval is only at 35%.

"The president doesn't have any authority to write the rules that govern our elections. The Constitution gives that power to Congress and to the states, not to the president." — @seanmorales-doyle.bsky.social on Trump's new mail voting executive order.

The US was never going to help protect against Russia, it couldn't even fulfill its duty to Ukraine, it has been using NATO as an influence tool to force allies to buy US weapons and subvert our governments. The time for a new Canadian, Commonwealth, EU military alliance is now.

Trump has bankrupt the US in less than two years and lost all its 1st world allies. Pretty impressive for a Russian Israeli asset.

That’s what surrender sounds like.

Leaked calls confirm that Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó is being run as a Russian intelligence asset in the halls of the European Union and NATO at the highest levels. Incredibly damning transcripts. Another EU foreign minister has likened Szijjártó to Kim Philby.

If you’re looking for SANITY, pls read this — it takes just 5 min. :)

Not one American should die for the Netanyahu regime. But more than a dozen already have, with hundreds more injured. And now Donald Trump is preparing to betray America yet again by sending our boys and girls to die in a foreign land for absolutely nothing. Impeach this man.
