I'm not saying anything novel here but it really is just truly despicable to watch them use THEIR OWN COLOSSAL SCREW UP to slander the reporter THEY INCLUDED ON THEIR CLASSIFIED GROUP CHAT

who did this

SHAME SHAME SHAME on the law firms bowing under the🍊POS bullying. As far as impeachment it takes a 2/3 majority of Congress BUT the Senate then holds a trial & at the current makeup of the Senate it would require 14 Dems joining the Repubs to convict.Since 1803 only 14 Fed Judges have been removed.

Trump wants to set rules for the way states run their elections and wants DOGE to audit voter databases. DOGE. Not an independent entity - his cronies. Mike Johnson is talking about eliminating district courts. These are not actions you see in a Democratic Republic.

According to a source I have at the CIA, Director Radcliffe lied today under oath. Signal is absolutely not loaded on agency computers. As a matter of fact it’s specifically prohibited as an outside app. Skype is allowed for conference calls but not Signal. He’s lying. @markwarner.bsky.social

Judges can’t be impeached just because you disagree with their decisions. But cabinet members CAN be impeached for gross incompetence and endangering American service members. Just in case you were wondering.

Top officials, including the VP and secretary of defense, discussing the most sensitive information on a commercially available app that is both easy for foreign adversaries to penetrate and seemingly designed to circumvent the public records laws that allow for scrutiny of their communications.

Serious issue: Steve Witkoff was on the Signal chat -- while in RUSSIA Was he using a VPN while on Signal? If not, then Russia likely had FULL ACCESS to the entire group chat.

New: Trump suggests there will be a non-FBI investigation into the Signal leak “It’s not really an FBI thing. It's really something having to do with security, like, will somebody be able to break it? … And if that’s true, we're gonna have to find some other form of device.“

⁉️⁉️

NEW: As the Houthi group chat imbroglio envelopes Washington, President Trump has returned to a familiar playbook: Attack the media Inside the White House’s slams on the press rather than showing outward concern for the flagrant national-security breach www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Trump has grown frustrated with the negative headlines the Signal security breach has caused, @jonlemire.bsky.social reports. Yet the president and his allies are focused on attacking the media rather than showing concern for the national-security blunder: theatln.tc/2vzda50K

Pete Hegseth must resign or be fired immediately.

'“If you think I’m overreacting and sounding the alarm too soon, consider this: It took the Nazis one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours and 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic,” Pritzker said.' apnews.com/article/jb-p...

This is what Reagan did with his "welfare queen" rhetoric. And it created enough public hostility toward welfare recipients that even Democrats embraced an anti-welfare agenda and revamped the program to punish families rather than supporting them in a time of need. Don't let that happen again.

The taxpayer-funded adventure continues.

Here’s what I’ve been up to

Haven’t been on here much. Saying hello to new followers and also to the not so new followers.

And just to be very clear, accidentally firing people isn’t a thing, Nazi Musk is deliberately firing everyone he can no matter how crucial they are to the safety and security of the United States in order to cause chaos. He’s an enemy of the state and we are all in danger.

House GOPers are now putting a stop to all of their town halls due to the massive blowback over the destructive MAGA cuts. Congrats to all those that voted in favor of these despicable assholes who are too craven and cowardly to even face you after they fucked you over. FAFO.

Keeping it classy, MAGA!

A beautiful & powerful protest carried out be Park Rangers in Yosemite Park. I salute these Americans.

Pathetic. Make Article I great again.

Congrats to the pro-measles lobby for their big win on RFK today.

We all know where this is headed, right? 7.1F rise in global temperatures?* No problem! Let the looting of public lands and assets begin! /1 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Health be damned. Science just took a hit which from which we can only hope will be able to recover.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who killed so many children in Samoa they ran out of child-sized coffins, has been confirmed to lead Health and Human Services. The vote was 52-48. All Dems and Mitch McConnell, whose fault this is, voted no. All other Republicans voted yes. The blood will be on their hands.

A reminder: Vladimir Putin could end the war in Ukraine right now, just by ordering his soldiers to go home. No need for treaties or negotiations.

Our allies should NOT trust us.👇

My grandfather was a veteran, a WWII Navy Chief Petty Officer. I'll never forget the patriotism I felt when I told him about my enlistment. He was so proud of me that he cried. He's been gone for 30 years. He'd be crying now for a different reason. It makes me sick.

📌I was the managing editor at Stars and Stripes and can tell you that Pete Hegseth is the first SecDef I am aware of to be openly booed by military families on a military base. 📌This is the most significant pushback I have seen to this administration's racist, hostile initiatives.

Shonda Rhimes resigns from Kennedy Center after Trump’s takeover of the performing arts institution

WTAF? They're not even hiding the corruption.

So it took until March 2021 to get Merrick Garland confirmed as AG during Biden's term but Pam Botox gets in within 2 weeks? How the fuck is this happening?

Even though CDC recently allowed to resume publication of its weekly morbidity & mortality report, THREE studies on bird flu that had been scheduled to run in the journal are still being suppressed. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Stating the obvious: Selectively posting Doge’s actions on X is the complete opposite of transparency.

BREAKING - Elon Musk slated to win $400 MILLION govt contract to make "armored Tesla" -- after $38 MILLION SpaceX contract yesterday Musk's plan: -- Shut down parts of the govt investigating him -- Claim that he's stopping government spending -- Give himself all the money

Conflict of interest? The State Department’s procurement forecast lists Tesla as the recipient of the largest expected contract, with Marco Rubio’s department planning to purchase $400 million worth of “Armored Tesla” vehicles.

Thank goodness for the American Medical Association. Here is their YouTube page. Please share far and wide. Right now bird flu is spreading throughout our country and most people have no clue.

In the past weeks, the Trump administration has purged federal law enforcement agencies of prosecutors and investigators who’d been pursuing white supremacist groups that had been listed among the most dangerous threats to national security. By @hannahallam.bsky.social

Trudeau: "There's not a snowball's chance in hell that Canada will ever be the 51st state"

Jeeezus Christ, I live in the Evil Axis.

Every day, I say we’re in a Constitutional crisis. And people ask me what I mean. And I point to stuff like this. And I say that right now we only have two independent branches of government. Because Congress is no longer doing its job. If they were, they’d investigate this.👇
