The Trump administration is abusing the military justice system to target its political opponents. A despicable new low for a group that strives everyday to find the moral bottom.

For what it’s worth, as a commander and officer it was my duty, moral obligation, and legal requirement to first question and then to not obey any illegal order I was given.
The same is true for everyone who swear their oath.
Hope that clears things up.

800+ flights cancelled today because Elon took a chainsaw to the federal government and Trump won’t pay the remaining airport personnel.
Elon’s on his way to becoming a trillionaire.
Trump’s net worth has more than doubled inside a year.
Glad everything worked out for them.
How about you?

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.
I glanced down at the message.
“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.
So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

“Are you telling me we can spend $40B on Argentina, $1B on Trump’s Qatar jet, $250M on Trump’s ballroom, $150M on Trump’s golf, $520M on Trump's National Guard deployments & $172M on Kristi Noem’s jets - but we can’t spend a penny on lowering our healthcare

When Trump calls climate change a "con job," he is representing his fossil fuel billionaire friends, not science.
Climate change is REAL. It is an existential threat to the planet and future generations.
We must transform our energy systems away from fossil fuels.

Trump's autism announcement mangled evidence. But the backlash seems a bit much?
A researcher on studies finding NO link has also been a paid expert in lawsuits. And I would caution against relying on judges to decide where the strongest evidence lies.

The Harvard School of Public Health’s dean says he charged $150,000 because it took him 200 hrs to prep to be a witness—so he charges…wait for it…750 per hour 😳
The judge ruled: “He cherry-picked & misrepresented study results & refused to acknowledge the role of genetics in the etiology” 🤯

MAGA/MAHA love to cite his opinions, but he got *at least* $150,000 to be an expert witness in anti-Tylenol lawsuits.
Conflicts of interest don’t bother MAGA/MAGA world at all—in fact, they almost seem to be a requirement (see: Dr Oz selling folinic acid)
