They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics. Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.

Marty Makary was just confirmed to succeed Dr Robert Califf as the FDA Commissioner. In his pursuit of notoriety, Makary has made lying a habit, going on Fox News to spread falsehoods (see below). He’s not qualified and we will hold him to account. science.feedback.org/review/marty...

The breadth of these executive orders makes me wonder if Republicans (or GOP leaning law firms, conservative colleges, GOP states with certain voting laws) can't imagine a future in which Dems regain the White House and just do their version of this stuff. Or maybe they assume no more elections?

The CIA Director testified today that he is not sure a reporter was on the unclassified national security group chat that recklessly disclosed military plans in Yemen. The whole world is aware of who was part of Signalgate. These people cannot be trusted with America’s national security.

Wow, Wyden catches the SSA nominee Frank Bisignano in a lie in his first question. He asked Bisignano if he was involved in discussions about DOGE? Bisignano said no. But Wyden has a statement from a senior official that Bisignano insisted "on personally approving DOGE hires at the agency."
