Military daughter, sister, wife, daughter-in-law, and mother-in-law. Almost military myself.
Don’t disgrace my flag or my country.
Fuck this administration.
@HunterBiden@hpmcd1 If you ever want to know how good a man Joe Biden is, take a good look at Hunter. Through thick and think, he stood by. Never once stepped aside.
Thanks @JoeBiden for the gift of Hunter. Love ya man.
🔥🚨 MAJOR JUST IN: The SAVE America Act Just Failed In The Senate.
The measure, which would have required voter ID and proof of citizenship nationwide, was rejected 48-50.
Republican senators Thom Tillis, Lisa Murkowski, Mitch McConnell, and Susan Collins voted no.
It was found in Texas. It destroys cattle too. It was still in other countries and the US put in programs to ensure it wouldn’t enter the US again. 60 years of success.
Until Trump cut the funding, and now it’s back in the US. Are we Great Again yet?
Another amazing artist in the Fleet!😍

I’m convinced MAGA operates like a swarm.
Someone picks the outrage of the week, everyone gets the memo, and suddenly thousands of accounts are repeating the exact same talking points.
This week: California elections.
Next week: something else.
Different voices. Same script.
Yesterday Donald Trump tripled the size of his personal political army inside the government. Illegally. And almost no one noticed.
Here's what happened:
He signed an order converting ~8,000 of the most senior career officials in government into employees he can fire for any reason, or no reason at all.
These aren't rando's. They're the directors, chiefs of staff, and the people who write the rules or decide who gets federal money, i.e. the lieutenants right below his political appointees.
Until yesterday, they answered to the law. Now they answer to him.
A president normally gets ~4,000 political appointees. People he can bring into government and fire at will. I was one of them at DHS. You serve at his pleasure, full stop -- so if you're gonna speak truth to power, you're prepared to quit (or get fired if he doesn't like it).
The rest of the federal government is PROTECTED from firing if they tell the truth.
But Trump just stripped those protections. Adding 8,000 more people to his personal army. Overnight. Without asking Congress.
With the stroke of a pen, those people now serve at the pleasure of the president. They're "his" people, whether they like it or not.
And the chilling effect is real. An official who can be fired this afternoon for "subversion of presidential directives" (the order's own words) doesn't need to be hand-picked to know what's expected of him or her.
The threat does all the work.
By the way, this order is illegal. The law only lets Trump reclassify jobs when "necessary" in exceptional circumstances. And this blows an 8,000-person hole in the merit hiring / firing system created by Congress.
Without permission, Trump has created a whole new category of stormtroopers inside the Executive Branch.
If this doesn't get challenged in court, you're going to see the U.S. government become a very different place.
