[Maj. (Ret.) Richard Ojeda @Ojeda4America]

As a Retired US Army paratrooper, pictures like these hit hard. Trump never had the courage to pick up a rifle and man a post when he was called to serve.

Yet he has the nerve to promote AI pictures like this showing him wearing things like Parachutist badges, and rows of ribbons he never had to courage to obtain. Anyone who has ever served should be pissed at garbage like this.

His father paid a doctor’s note so he wouldn't have to serve. But remember that for every one of the draft deferments, someone else had to go in his place.

A pure disgrace.

In my judgement, the US Armed Forces have probably permanently lost access to 15 Persian Gulf bases. Iran now poised to control access the Gulf States. US will have to negotiate new access in western Saudi Arabia, Israel, southern Europe.

[Angry Staffer @Angry_Staffer]

What a complete fucking disaster.

We’re going to be paying the bill for this presidency for a long time.

[Maj. (Ret.) Richard Ojeda @Ojeda4America]

I served 24 years in the United States military. No commander in chief I have ever served under, democrat or republican, has ever had this level of indifference for our troops.

NONE. It’s a damn disgrace. These people are spitting in the faces of our service members everyday.

[Norman Ornstein @NormOrnstein]

It appears there should be multiple disbarments here. And both Pirro and the vile Doug Burgum should be impeached.

[Peter Baker @peterbakernyt]

Trump is now all but the most unpopular second-term president at this stage of their tenure in the history of polling. The only exception: Nixon had even less public support at this stage but at that point he was just days away from resigning. https://t.co/YKxTl6e9Z3

[Norm Eisen @NormEisen]

Trump’s corruption scandals are piling up faster than ever

From the DOJ slush fund to crypto payoffs, the pattern is clear: Trump is using the presidency to serve himself & his allies

[Andrew Weinstein @Weinsteinlaw]

The chilling thing about the Trump administration falsely accusing David Hearn is what it reveals: they have no hesitation targeting ordinary American citizens when it serves their agenda. It’s the same playbook they used with Alex Pretti, Renee Good, and countless others. The pattern is unmistakable. When the truth becomes inconvenient, they pick a citizen, invent a villain, and count on the wreckage to advance their interests. This is an administration willing to inflict real harm on ordinary people to protect its own power.

[Fred Wellman @FPWellman]

This is what happens when you fire all of the professionals. What an international embarrassment this Administration has become.

[Mike Young @micyoung75]

Lemire's pulling the right sentence, but worth adding the part that makes it land. The Air Force rejected Trump's preferred paint scheme once already, in his first term, specifically because the darker colors trap heat and can mess with electronics in the plane's lower hull. He got his way this time anyway. Those same trade off decisions, on his personal sign off, are why the missing features in this thread exist at all.

Three months after the retrofit finished, the Secret Service pulled him off this exact plane in Turkey because of a credible Iranian threat, then flew him out on the old jet instead. The Pentagon also hid a chunk of the true cost, now past five billion, inside a classified nuclear modernization account so Congress couldn't see it.

This isn't a story about a plane that happens to be missing some features. It's a story about a president overruling his own engineers on a jet he then had to abandon mid trip.

President Trump has repeatedly asked Americans to “remember” past events that never happened except in his own made-up stories: https://t.co/TYi2qG1FpI

[David Frum @davidfrum]

Trump recoils from discovery like a vampire from holy water. Drives home that the Trump settlements with CBS and ABC were surrenders by favor-seeking corporate owners. Fight and win.

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

Maine Senator @SenAngusKing: There is a serious threat to our elections in 2026 — and to democracy itself — but it’s not the Chinese, Venezuela, noncitizens voting or mail-in ballots. It’s Donald J. Trump. https://t.co/8kS23oERXX

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

You might have to consider the possibility that Trump lied. I know, hard to believe that might be case. https://t.co/qjORmuxFIP

[Emoluments Clause @Emolclause]

#BREAKING: Liz Oyer: “I was shocked to hear Mr Blanche’s testimony about this yesterday. What he said about my firing is provably false. His claim that it had nothing to do with the concerns I raised is contradicted by documents and evidence. His claim that he tried to call me before sending marshals to my home is flat out false. His claim that it is normal for DOJ to use armed law enforcement officers to deliver mail to the homes of its former employees is preposterous. The casual lies that Mr Blanche tells, even while sitting in this chair testifying to this committee, are emblematic of a much larger problem. To the American public, it looks like Mr Blanche is running DOJ as Donald Trump’s personal law firm. Americans across the political spectrum rely on DOJ to keep us safe and free. Mr Blanche has shown that he is willing to put all of that at risk to serve a political agenda. I beg the members of this committee to think about what this is costing our country. Please do not degrade our justice system further by promoting Mr Blanche.” 😳

The only person caught trying to rig the 2020 election was Donald Trump—and it's on tape.

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

Undermining trust in the justice and electoral systems, denigrating the media, targeting rivals. I’ve seen this playbook before in Putin’s Russia in the early 2000s.

America’s democratic institutions may be stronger, but we should never take them—or our rights—for granted.

[Norman Ornstein @NormOrnstein]

It is tempting to simply view this speech with derision. A feeble demagogue lying over and over. It is far more dangerous and insidious. Trump is trying to lay the predicate to declare a national emergency and seize control of the election machinery. Potentially to seize control of television and radio outlets. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

[FireFighterDev @fire_starter457]

If you think CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN, PBS, BBC, NPR, NYT, NYP, WaPo, the Economist and every global news publication on the planet are all conspiring against Trump and the only news source you can trust is the only one that admitted under oath to completely fabricating stories and said they are NOT news and are for entertainment purposes only...

You have a problem, @NonBidenary47

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

As I wrote a year ago, watch the actions of the Trump admin through the eyes of someone who has watched democracy turn into autocracy. Centralizing election authority, expanding federalized troops and putting them in the streets, cracking down on the press. It's not original.
