A drug addict usurped congressional power, and unilaterally gutted US soft power. Members of the administration knew about, and were disturbed by, his drug use (WSJ). Isn’t this a cover-up?

Pete Hegseth is clearly ill-equipped to handle the role of Secretary of Defense. His repeated failure to follow basic operational security procedures jeopardizes the safety and security of our armed forces. He should resign.

We will not be erased 🏳️‍🌈

WOW. Watch a constitutional law expert completely DEBUNK Republicans’ censorship crusade, while articulating exactly how Donald Trump is threatening freedom of speech. 🔥

This. Is. Huge.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

JUST IN: American Oversight is suing Hegseth, Gabbard, Ratcliffe et al, saying their messaging via Signal is a violation of the Federal Records Act. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Hegseth, Waltz and company texting war plans to a reporter on signal is just the tip of the iceberg. This whole administration is full of incompetent, inexperienced, and unqualified clowns. Our national security is compromised in ways we’re just beginning to understand.

🔑 under-discussed point — why they were on signal:

I still don't think it's been adequately acknowledged how much this could impact the U.S. economy

90,000,000 eligible voters DID NOT vote in the 2024 election that ended in this horrendous nightmare we are living in. We get 10% of them to vote - in coalition with pro-democracy/pro-labor groups, and we can end this nightmare. This seems possible to me 🌀🌈

Germany is now having to issue a travel advisory for the US. Between Canadians staying home, and Europeans cancelling plans, RIP US tourism. Good job America. www.reuters.com/world/europe...

When you send innocent people to a foreign gulag, you are not fighting terror. You are practicing it.

Is it at all surprising that a convicted felon would ignore a judge's order?

DOGE claims it’s saving billions—just don’t ask for proof. Musk’s group is now hiding the details of its “savings” after getting caught exaggerating claims. Turns out, transparency is hard when you’re making it up. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/13/u.... #50501movement #PeoplesMovement @polrev.bsky.social

WIRED talked to actual federal auditors about how government auditing works — and how DOGE is doing the opposite.

Fascism is here. The list of words Trump is banning from government is the most stunning document of our time. Click the image below to see how many words Trump and Musk have canceled as part of their new Reich. 🔗: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Bernie Sanders is holding MASSIVE rallies in packed venues, bigger crowds than Trump was getting, and legacy media is practically silent. Bernie is talking to workers rather than hanging out with socialites with mediocre plastic surgery at Mar-a-Lago, and it's just not interesting to corporate media

Each time I have sat down to write something since the election, I am bothered by this recurring phrase that I simply cannot get out of my head. So,I am going to just say it out loud: we are on our own. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-a...

The hypocrisy is off the charts.
