In other words, catastrophic for everyone.
Should it side with the president, the Supreme Court could supercharge Trump’s effort to assert absolute control over agencies that regulate the economy, the stock market, federal campaign finance and communications. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

So not only were we busy telling the world what we were doing on insecure Signal chats, we were shooting down our own people at the same time. It has costs to put incompetent people in charge of national security, and I fear we are just beginning to pay them.

A Navy warship mistook US fighter jets for enemy missiles and opened fire. The targeted pilot saw his life flash before his eyes.
New documents reveal how the USS Gettysburg shot down an F/A-18 and nearly hit a second one above the Red Sea last year.

Dismantle SOCOM and ESPECIALLY JSOC, combine as many SOF units as possible under the Army with a single esprit de corps and trim/restrain all others to their specific original mission sets.
Send the SEALs home to train and dip until we need to free an oil derrick from pirates or something.

Trump judges rule presidents can exile reporters for "wrong opinions" First Amendment stops at Oval Office door. DOJ argued banning citizens from White House tours based on politics is legal. As a veteran who defended the Constitution, watching courts dismantle it for a dictator makes me rage-sick.

Hehe.
Twitter implemented a new feature last night that displayed the country an account is in. So many of the ‘America First’ accounts were from foreign countries that they had to disable the feature within hours. 🙄

Every single promise Musk has made about Tesla and its world transformative technology has failed, literally every single one. So why do movers and thinkers take anything he says seriously? He leveraged the world’s biggest fortune against those promises and when it collapses he will be toast.
