Armed Services on Pete Hegseth being bounced from the military for extremism, ties to white nationalism, plans to hollow out the military. All this will be whitewashed when the GOP takes the majority. Preempt them! 3/

(📣) The President of Brazil has issued a statement about Twitter:
“The world isn’t obliged to put up with Elon Musk’s far-right free-for-all just because he is rich.”

Thanks to all Americans in history who have risked and sacrificed their lives to win and defend our cherished freedoms.

Trump won by 255K votes in the 3 states that decided the election. A swing of 128K votes in those states and Harris is POTUS.
Estimates have him winning under 50% of the popular vote.
MAGA lost Senate races in WI, MI, NV, and AZ. It may lose the House.
Hard to see a landslide.

I revere this country. The institutions. The Presidency. I want our nation to succeed.
But I’m not naive.
Donald Trump has a playbook. They wrote it out for us. 922 pages. With 270 specific points he has publicly supported.
If our American values and freedoms are attacked, we will not stand idly by.

Frankly, I am shaken by the size of Trump’s win. Clearly, we are in a very difficult period as a country. But even as we lick our wounds, we can’t give up the fight. So much of Trump’s agenda is dangerous and must be resisted. We owe it to ourselves and our democracy.

America chose Trump. Fidelity to the Constitution means we must live with that outcome, not plot to overthrow it, violently or otherwise. But that doesn’t mean we should accept the darkest implications of his victory. The choice was binary. The future never was. The work awaits.

I respect those who say otherwise, but it’s just not true that “all the guardrails are gone.” They’re weakened, but many remain — at the state and local levels, and even in key aspects of federal law that remain very much in place. Our Constitution is more than just empty words.

To resist Trump’s threats to abuse state power against what he calls “the enemy within,” Pentagon leaders should issue a directive now reiterating that the military’s oath is to the Constitution.

Need to watch out for this. It connects to Trump's statement: "I want Hitler’s generals." As of August 1934, those generals became Hitler's via a loyalty oath. That made him the Führer.
