Whatever this Administration thinks, trans people serve our country, and we will still be serving after you are gone.

This is my official ONI photo from 2012. I was a division chief leading analysts against WMD and arms proliferation.

We are strong, and we will prevail.

Thanks @BoKnowsNews for the data-filled reporting on Trump’s false claims about 2020, which are key to his 2026 election plan. As I told Bo: “He’s not looking back; this is about the midterms.” To interfere and deny the results when his allies still lose.

Good for him, and us all.

200 billion for Trump’s war that “we’ve already won”, going after the nuclear program we already obliterated.

And at budget time we had no money for the millions losing healthcare, or hundreds of thousands dead because USAID was too expensive.

No. This is an abomination.

If Russia and China conspired to destroy the U.S. military with a Manchurian candidate I don't think they could have picked a better choice than Hegseth.

Lies are loyalty tests in an autocracy.

Weren’t we all told it was liberals, progressives, and Democrats that didnt believe in the 2nd Amendment, were going to bring in a Big Government papers-please police state and trample on liberty?

Oops.

Bovino argues 2nd Amendment didn’t apply to Pretti https://t.co/zXbcrh8U84

And I don’t know about any of you, but I don’t know anyone who believes anything has gotten more affordable. Turns out tariffs, terrorizing American cities, and ballroom obsessions don’t really help make anything cheaper. Who knew?

[Alexandra Chandler @a_chandler]

Thoughts—

1) video of Trump’s press conference is hard to find on X. Is Elon algorithmically suppressing it? The slurring and nonsense was so bad despite the propaganda press.

2) 37% approval, so time for more Greenland threats & trans bashing

3) Still no Epstein files

[Alexandra Chandler @a_chandler]

<—- This American understands. Greenland for Greenlanders, no more threats to them or our Danish allies. 🇬🇱 🇩🇰

And Putin laughs as Trump drags us into his “special military operation” against Greenland, echoing his Ukraine playbook— while we abandon Ukraine to Russia.

[Andrew Desiderio @AndrewDesiderio]

Tillis says he’ll oppose all Fed nominees until the Powell legal matter is “fully resolved.”

This will almost certainly prevent the Banking Committee from confirming Fed nominees.

Summary execution of an American citizen.

[Elizabeth Goitein @LizaGoitein]

By a 2-1 opinion, the Ninth Circuit just held that the president can federalize National Guard forces and deploy them when protesters shine flashlights in the eyes of ICE officers. It’s one of the most dangerous and legally flawed court decisions I’ve seen this year. 1/23

[Veterans For Responsible Leadership @VetsForRL]

This is a disgraceful message. There was a soldier that I served with in the army that later was killed in Mosul, Iraq that said the reason he joined the military was because he believed that it was the greatest force for good that the world has ever known. He said the military not only taught its soldiers to be lethal but it also taught us to be compassionate and empathetic and care about not only the American people but also freedom loving and seeking people from all over the globe. This is the true warrior ethos that so many of us veterans know and love. I’m thinking about him a lot tonight and will be damned if sons of bitches like Trump and Hegseth will transform our great military into something resembling the Russians. His memory and service must not be in vein.

[Amy McGrath @AmyMcGrathKY]

In all seriousness, senior military officers going to Quantico soon should take 2 minutes and review this thoughtful post. https://t.co/2FPk2wrlr1

[Alexandra Chandler @a_chandler]

Trump’s TruthSocial order to send troops to Portland is ridiculous. He’s trying to look tough after he failed to use tragedy to cancel Kimmel & others, and for the shutdown. If he really wanted to help local LE with ICE protests, he’d ask them how.

But he wants fear & violence.

[Madison Moskowitz @moskwtz]

War ravaged Portland!

The President of the United States thinks those who live here and oppose his fascist regime should get hit by the “full force” of the military.

It’s supposed to be a free country 🇺🇸

[Alexandra Chandler @a_chandler]

Nothing says limited government, affordability, and national security in one go like making cabinets, vanities and furniture more expensive.

My trio: release the Epstein files, end your police state, and don’t shut down the govt because you want to take healthcare from millions.

[Alexandra Chandler @a_chandler]

Cancelled @DisneyPlus and @hulu because though I hadn’t finished Andor (don’t judge, I’m busy) I couldn’t keep watching it on a platform owned by those capitulating to our would be dictator.

Meanwhile, I subscribed to @WIRED because they are unafraid. Market forces FTW.

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

Look at these masked cowards

[Alexandra Chandler @a_chandler]

Russian fighters over Estonia, drones over Poland and Romania, Xi eating our lunch with India, and unchecked death in Ukraine and Gaza.

But our crack LE/natsec leadership is considering whether all trans people are a terror threat.

And still haven’t released the Epstein files.
