This is the result of decades of civic poisoning by Fox News and right-wing echo chambers and channels.

TODAY: I speak with Tesla Takedown national volunteer Evan Sutton, along with the amazing @mrjoncryer.bsky.social on today's Daily Beans. News, with swearing! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

NEW: The republican chair of the Senate Armed Services Committee (Wicker) and the dem ranking member (Reed) are jointly demanding an investigation into the Signal chat. Wicker has told NBC he believes the information in the chat would be classified.

It's heartbreaking that every congressperson that starts out with appreciation just asks random questions about current events rather than focusing on the issue at hand. Is that literally sabotage?

LOL Ratcliffe is BIG MAD. He's like "How come no one is talking about the good stuff I've done on the Afghan withdrawal?" (The hearing is continuing now)

Hoo boy. As someone who has relied on #OSINT for information, the #ODNI Annual Threat Assessment report has always been really valuable information. Not anymore by the looks of it. #TulsiGabbard is manifestly unfit & incapable. The politicized garbage spewed at today’s hearing is highly disturbing.

It’s worth stating this simply: For literally anyone in the US Govt from 1945 to 2025, Signalgate would require an instant resignation—and a criminal investigation. It would be a matter of personal *honor* to resign. The fact Mike Waltz & Pete Hegseth are choosing to fight it out is a terrible omen.

This is what happens when you have an entire cabinet full of folks who would NEVER pass a regular security clearance. Led by a president who would never be able to pass one either.

As more information is revealed, it is clear that the cover-up is even worse than the crime. Every single person involved has no business being involved in our government. At minimum, there should be resignations. And prosecutions.

I’m sorry, but underlying national security crisis aside, that’s a LOT of typos and grammatical errors for an official response from the White House. Leavitt should be embarrassed for herself.

The real issue is the southern border, Mr. Steube? Are you serious? Why are you talking about anything but this leak when you have the time? Are you griefing your team or playing for someone else?

Props to Representative Gomez for asking the questions regular people are actually asking

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.

Jeffrey Goldberg thinking he was being pranked and then realizing he was actually just in the war plans group chat is such a good microcosm of how it feels to be alive right now, everything seems fake until you realize it’s actually real and incredibly stupid

Looks like I've made an embarrassing public mistake. Time to do what alpha males like me do in these situations: whine and avoid accountability

Ossoff: This is what happens when you have Fox News personalities cosplaying as government officials.

I had legit completely forgotten this.

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...

Pete Hegseth must resign or be fired immediately.

Tucson, Arizona today. Original projected attendance was 3,000 people. 23,000 showed up.

AOC: We need to be taxing the rich on the floor of the Congress We need to be establishing guaranteed healthcare on the floor of the Congress We need to be passing a living wage on the floor of the Congress

Just fyi: A new book will make you feel better

AOC: In every single stop that Bernie and I have had in the past couple of days… every single stop has completely blown out all attendance projections.

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act. With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

AOC: Alina Habba said, “What intellectual thought.. you were in a bar AOC. Not to have a drink but to serve one.” I don’t care what this woman says about me but I want you to understand that she isn’t just talking about me, she’s talking about all of us.

UPDATE: Trump has until tomorrow at noon to put up or shut up in the Alien Enemies Act case. I explain in laypeople’s terms.

It’s the first day of spring! So here’s your Spring 2025 reminder to take your Claritin at NIGHT so that you can do your morning screaming outside if you need a little change of pace :)

millennials will be like i know a banger and it's the reading rainbow theme song. and they're right

One of my Radical Leftist opinions is the government shouldn't be able to deprive anyone of life, liberty, or property without due process of law

!!! NEW: DOJ tells Judge Boasberg that he should CANCEL the 5 p.m. hearing "because there has been no violation of the Court's orders, and because the government is not prepared to disclose any further national security or operational security details." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day today by leaving a function without even saying

I missed this bit of great news! And they got back pay, too! Never stop fighting for what you’re entitled to.

Fun fact: There are more planes in the ocean than there are submarines in the sky.

Happy St. Patrick's Day! youtu.be/qrt_PA5PflM #judygarland #stpatricksday #stpatricksdayparade #StPatricksDay2025 #thejudyroom @mgmmusicals.bsky.social

Schumer would have let Khrushchev put nuclear missiles on Cuba, because if he didn’t we’d have World War III.

😂🥴😂

Between poll numbers showing Trump's approval rating on the economy plummetting and focus groups of Trump voters with buyer's remorse, it appears the MAGA fever may be breaking. For this and more good progressive news, don't miss the Week in Wins.

Collaborators with the fascists.

NEW: Here are the 10 “democratic” senators that voted to sell out veterans, the American people, and their colleagues in the House. Cortez Masto Durbin Fetterman Gillibrand Hassan King Peters Schatz Schumer Shaheen

These are the senators who collaborated with the GOP. Schumer Fetterman Cortez Masto Durbin King Shaheen Gillibrand Schatz Hassan Peters Don’t let them forget it. No peace for them.

I don't know what's going with that other site, but anything related to protests is being buggy right now. Just a coincidence, I'm sure.

🗣This is what happens when Law and Order Prevails. Keep Raising your voice Americans🇺🇲. You are winning💪 in the courts GOP Congress is Not above the Law.

Dear Democrats, 32,000 will lose Section 8 vouchers $168 mil. shortfall for HUDD homeless assistance 7,000 SSA jobs cut. Also, closing 6 of the 10 regional offices, and 47 local offices. Increased wait times for the 800 number. And that’s not even close to all of it. THIS is NOT okay!

So much for the “Free Speech” champions.

Senator Mark Kelly is a combat fighter pilot and Navy captain who bravely served his country.   Elon Musk is a multi-billionaire trying to dismantle the VA who called Kelly, a veteran who put his life on the line, a “traitor.”   Disgusting.
