NBC News: The Espionage Act contains a provision making it crime to disclose national defense secrets "through gross negligence." The law does not require info be classified, because it was written before the classification system existed. The law refers simply to "national defense information."

Chris Murphy: "They're sitting there telling the American people that 2+2=7...those were attack plans, those were war plans, that was classified information, everybody knows it. The idea that they think they can get away with this level of gaslighting- it just strikes at the foundation of democracy"

I wrote this essay about Noem nearly a year ago. The week, the now “Secretary of Homeland Security”, made a video in front of what looked like a concentration camp, in which she wore a $60K watch and used imprisoned human beings as props. This was the goal. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

James Comer had 2 years to dig into all this supposed govt corruption that Musk is “discovering.” That’s what Oversight Committee is supposed to do. Instead, he spent 2 years on Hunter Biden - which resulted in nothing except a James Comer book deal.

For those saying audits are good, you are absolutely right! On the other hand, 19- to 25-year-old computer geeks are NOT trained auditors! #JustSaying

No, we can't agree to disagree. This isn't sports. This isn't us rooting for 2 different teams and the winner of the game has no impact on your life, my life or our kids' lives. You support someone who promises to hurt me and people I love. As Charlie Chaplin said, "I don't shake hands with Nazis."

While Musk runs the country, Trump had a productive weekend naming himself Chair of the Kennedy Center, picking the Chiefs to win the Super Bowl, canceling pennies, demanding Google Maps rename Gulf of Mexico, invited only White immigrants from Africa, and saved plastic straws.

I realized today that Trump, Musk, DOGE, Vance, Miller, Vought and their many collaborators have broken so many laws already that they know they have to destroy our government and entire way of life to stay out of jail. This is all or nothing. We should respond accordingly.
