“Should have,” “if only” and “I told you so” are absolutely useless to addressing the crisis we face. Focus on now, on what we can do, on positive action.

The SAVE Act is a poll tax. Over 69 million women would have to get new IDs to vote under the SAVE Act—all of which, except military IDs, cost money. As @mcclellan.house.gov explained, whether it’s $1,000 or 1￠, no one should have to pay to vote.

Wild story: the acting Social Security chief was warned that terminating data collection contracts with Maine would increase fraud. But he responded that it didn't matter because it was more important to punish Maine's governor for disagreeing with Trump. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

1. OMG. The main concern is not the ability to hack Signal; it’s that if a foreign government has penetrated the phone of a person who is using Signal, they can read all of the communications on that phone in real time.

So it turns out Pete Hegseth lied. And Michael Waltz lied. And Tulsi Gabbard lied. And also lied to Congress while under oath. And John Ratliffe lied. And also lied to Congress while under oath. And as ever Jeffrey Goldberg and the Atlantic were telling the truth. This is why journalism matters.

Every single Democratic lawmaker should be calling for Hegseth's immediate resignation right now. Not just some. Not just a few dozen. Every single one, starting at the top with Mr. Schumer and Mr. Jeffries. And the fact that it hasn't happened yet is nearly as shocking as Hegseth's conduct.

Pete Hegseth should resign. Every member of Congress who cares about national security should be calling for it. If he were a Democrat he’d be gone already.

MAGA, Musk and Trump economic policies are killing the markets, shedding jobs, creating widespread suffering, hurting the most vulnerable the most, dramatically increasing the deficit, increasing corruption, strengthening our enemies and weakening the US and our allies. Oh…and enriching the richest.

This is absolutely wonderful. We have to resist slowly yielding to the lies; the corrosion of our conscience; acceptance of the false ideology pumped out by Trump and his ilk. We must not let our spirits be broken. We have to hold on to truth.

This was always where it was going to go: when the President claims it can detain and remove anyone without judicial review or due process, they will try to deport and remove people without judicial review and due process. Straight up authoritarian dictator stuff.

I’m sure I’m not the first to point this out but if the president is asserting the right to deport immigrants without due process, that includes the due process of discovering whether they are in fact immigrants, which means he’s asserting the right to deport anyone he wants.

People need to be crystal clear about something: The requirement that the government ANSWER to a court on the legal basis for detaining someone is literally the core liberty right (habeas corpus). If the government says they don’t have to do that bc “national security,” YOU can be disappeared.
