@UberFacts The best part of my day is when I get into bed at night with the hub and we cuddle with gratitude for another day spent with one another. For real.

@shanejett @DrNeilStone Be the model of a man your girls look to, if you are brave enough to protect their futures. Don't offer support of charlatans and con-men and then be shocked when your girls choose men badly.

@shanejett @DrNeilStone You're referring to RFK Jr and his "daddy" Trump, aren't you? And if not...you s/b. You have 3 daughters. Do you wish for them to be treated the way both RFK and Trump have treated women for their entire lives? Grow a backbone for your girls, so that corrupt men don't use them.

The MMR vaccine has no aborted fetal tissue in it. This is the kind of nonsense that only a committed anti vaxxer like RFK Jr would say to scare people off one of the safest and most effective vaccines in history.

@BeckyJohnson222 @DrNeilStone Are diploid cell lines different from fetal tissue? Can you explain the difference that exists? Some specific cell lines are derived from fetal tissue, but not all diploid cells in the body are fetal; nearly all adult cells are also diploid.

@yinzerfred @heathercsutton @RepMcGovern @1zzyzyx1 Fred, you should say thank you for the spanking Heather gave you. It was very good and thorough, considering, or maybe because of, the simplicity of your witless post. Respectful decency exists in many people still, yet you chose to show otherwise.

I have a question for my GOP colleagues: why the hell would you want to come to Congress, hand over all your power to the president, and then betray your constituents and your values? Is it really worth it to avoid Trump’s wrath? I think it’s pathetic.

@LizaRosen0000 @SoterMt Why no outrage when American men do it? Or is it just another excuse for you to hate foreigners, Liza? American men are so much better, amirite, especially if they are wealthy and powerful enough to have women like you defend their abnormal transgressions.

@ElvisScouts @BreannaMorello Haha. The DOJ? The same DOJ that illegally appointed L. Halligan, who 3 DAYS after her appt. brought federal charges against Comey and James that were ultimately dismissed because, literally, AG & 47 ignorance of the law. Yes, the justice system for regular people moves slowly.

@BreannaMorello The justice system moves on evidence and due process, not timelines or public pressure.

@EubanksKrisy @sitmwu @OGCannaKingCA @michaelscherer @TheAtlantic Can you prove any of it wrong, or that any of it didn’t happen? I’ve seen the celebrity of Trump since early ‘80s. He has done all of what’s listed, backed by 45+ years of documentation and reporting. Was a bad man then, worse now, but he has your support. Who is the stupid one?

Twenty-six generals and admirals in fourteen months. No misconduct cited for a single one. A former Fox News weekend host who never held a senior military command has removed the Joint Chiefs Chairman, the Army Chief of Staff, the commander of Army Transformation and Training, the Chief of Chaplains, and at least 22 other senior officers from the most powerful military on earth. He blocked four Army officers from promotion to brigadier general, two Black men and two women, by unilaterally striking their names from a list of 36. When Army Secretary Dan Driscoll refused to remove them, Hegseth did it himself. No hearing. No review board. No Senate consultation. The names were struck because the man who reads the list decided they should not be on it. The pattern is not random. It is architectural. Every removal serves the same function: shortening the distance between a presidential decision and its execution. The officers who remain are the ones who did not resist. The officers who resisted are gone. The replacement for the Army Chief of Staff is Vice Chief General Christopher LaNeve, who served as Hegseth’s personal military aide. The man who carried the briefcase now signs the orders. The chain of command has been rebuilt so that every link answers directly to the man who removed the previous link. General Randy George was the commander of the United States Army’s ground forces. That title matters now in a way it did not matter six weeks ago. Before February 28, ground forces in Iran were a theoretical exercise discussed in war colleges and think tanks. After five weeks of air strikes, with the IRGC publishing bridge target lists across four allied nations, with the President saying the military has “not even started” destroying what remains, with MEUs staged in the Gulf and the 82nd Airborne deploying and JSOC operators at forward bases in four countries, the ground option is no longer theoretical. It is a logistics package. And the man whose job was to assess whether that package should be opened was told to retire the same day the President posted “much more to follow.” Lieutenant General Hodne ran the command that trains every soldier who would execute a ground operation. Major General Green led the chaplain corps that would minister to every soldier who dies in one. George decided whether the operation should happen. Hodne prepared the soldiers to carry it out. Green prepared them to live with it. All three were removed on the same afternoon. Congress has not held a hearing. No subpoenas issued. The legal authority for a Defence Secretary to unilaterally override promotion lists and force immediate retirement of Senate-confirmed officers during wartime has not been tested because nobody with the authority to question it has chosen to. The IRGC has said attacks will “intensify from next week.” The Ford carrier is heading back. The CNN intelligence assessment confirms half of Iran’s launchers and thousands of drones remain. The President has named the next targets: power plants, desalination, oil wells, Kharg Island. And every general who might have said “this crosses a line” is already gone. Twenty-six officers. Zero misconduct findings. One question that every general still serving is asking behind closed doors: who is left to say no? And what happens when the answer is nobody? open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

JUST IN: You do not fire your Army Chief of Staff in the middle of a war for no reason. You fire him because of what comes next. Pete Hegseth called General Randy George on April 2 and told him to retire immediately. The Pentagon confirmed it within hours. No reason was given. Not publicly. Not privately. A senior Army official told Fox News that Hegseth offered George nothing: no misconduct, no operational failure, no policy disagreement on the record. Just a phone call and a career ending in the middle of the most significant American combat operation in two decades. George is the 24th general or admiral Hegseth has removed. But he is not the 24th. He is the one that matters. The Army Chief of Staff. The man whose signature sits between a president’s intent and the order that sends soldiers across a beach or into a tunnel complex. The 82nd Airborne is deploying right now. Marines from the 31st MEU are staged on the USS Tripoli. JSOC operators are at forward bases in Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. Kharg Island, 90 percent of Iranian oil exports, sits 16 kilometres off a coast that someone will have to decide whether to approach. And the four-star general whose job it was to advise whether that approach should happen was removed 48 hours after Trump told the nation the war would continue for two to three more weeks. The replacement is Vice Chief General Christopher LaNeve. He was Hegseth’s senior military aide before this appointment. The man who carried the Secretary’s briefcase now commands the Army the Secretary is reshaping. The chain of command did not break. It shortened. The distance between a television studio and a combat order just collapsed to zero intermediaries who were not personally selected by the man giving the order. No reason was given. That is the tell. When someone is removed without explanation during a crisis, the explanation is the crisis itself. George either objected to something or was about to. The ground option. The power plant strikes. The Kharg raid. The escalation that turned a highway bridge in Karaj into rubble on the same day he was told to leave. Something in the next two weeks requires a chief who will not push back, and the Pentagon solved that problem by installing one trained as Hegseth’s aide. A former Fox News weekend host just fired a four-star general with combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, replaced him with his own former assistant, and did it during a live war in which the next decision could put American soldiers on Iranian soil for the first time in history. No hearing was held. No misconduct cited. The Army woke up on April 3 with a new chief it did not choose, in a war it did not start, preparing for a phase the previous chief apparently could not be trusted to execute. The question is not why George was fired. Every general in the building knows why. The question is what order is coming in the next fourteen days that required removing the one man in the chain of command who might have said no. The war has no perimeter. The chain of command has no objectors. And the next phase has no one left to stop it. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

A Marine spends 13 weeks at Parris Island. No phone. No family. No contact. Graduation day is the one day that changes. This week, ICE showed up to screen his family at the gate. The Marine Corps put it in writing on their official website. DHS called it FAKE NEWS. Then the Marine Corps quietly deleted it from their site. But the families already saw it. Now some of them aren’t coming. A Marine is going to stand at that graduation alone. What do you call a government that does that to its own troops? #DemsUnited

This is a big deal and it’s flying below the radar—Trump’s DOJ just gave him a huge gift in the form of a legal opinion declaring that the Presidential Records Act is unconstitutional. Let’s be clear: that’s nonsense. We’ll break it down 🧵
