I do hope the business community takes note of the fact that while Trump is wrecking their supply chain with tariffs, he thinks he’s free import a foreign jet for free. Buy American? Lolz He’s grounding Air Force One for his Qatari air palace. It’s all revolting autocratic corruption.

Could you imagine the response if a democratic president said they didn’t know if they had to uphold the Constitution? How fast would the articles of impeachment be drawn ? 20 minutes at the most

The thing is….pictures like this one existed decades ago. You’re telling me the FBI didn’t know about this activity? Yeah. Bullshit. People not only gave him a pass, but they concealed what they knew.

Kristi Noem billed South Dakota taxpayers more than $640,000 in personal travel-related costs, including a six-day trip to Paris, a bear hunt in Canada, a trip to Houston for dental work to fix her smile, and a book tour. But she can afford a $50,000 Rolex for a prison porn photo op in El Salvador.

Really feel like I’m losing my mind: government OBVIOUSLY cannot punish an individual law firm for hiring someone it disfavors! It’s ludicrously unconstitutional and I feel like without a day of law school I could argue the case. And yet the best paid lawyers in the country are folding?

Closing rural post offices will do the same thing that closing rural schools has done: Empty out rural towns. Why? To sell off farmland for rock bottom prices to the oligarchs. Water and mineral rights and CAFOs polluting with impunity. It’s been the plan for decades.

They keep trashing the journalist like that’ll fix it. This interview makes it worse—and she’s not even asking the right questions. Why use Signal for classified info instead of the secure government app our taxes paid for? Is this their norm? How long have they been sharing war plans like this?

What you have to understand about Pete Hegseth copying and pasting war plans into Signal is that it almost certainly means he’s got classified documents on his personal UNSECURE devices. Signal isn't on a secure device...are our war plans on his personal devices? @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social

I'm no lawyer, but it seems like discussing war plans in Signal outside a SCIF is maybe just a little bit worse than using a private server to send emails that weren't even marked as classified. But what do I know.

I mean very obviously Hegseth should resign, and if it were a Democratic administration this would be quickly be a consensus position.
