Confirming, as was obvious from context already, that this wasn’t a one-off. They are routinely using Signal to evade statutory record retention requirements.

Never forget this day, February 28, 2025, when an American president abused and betrayed a democratic ally in the midst of a barbaric war with Russia. This grotesque stain will never wash away.

Zelensky found out what it was like to be a US governor in a blue state asking Trump for medical supplies during the pandemic. Or disaster relief after a wildfire or storm. It’s not his money, but he fully expects you to beg and plead for it and tell him how wonderful he is.

One of these days we're gonna have to reckon with the fact that "money that I spend which does not directly benefit me is a waste" is a popular sentiment. I think we should state plainly that this is selfish on its face. And stupid when you have awareness which extends beyond your nose.

Collins: He said that Canada is going to be implementing a $1.3 billion border plan, where they talk about reinforcing the border. I should note that's actually something that was announced back in December

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

In a time of tragedy and chaos, Trump went on vacation in Florida. Gross.

If you wanted to decrease the cost of homes, one thing you wouldn’t do is put a flat tariff on your main source of timber.

One thing has been made clear in the past two weeks: Americans are not safe with Donald Trump in charge.

Trump axed hundreds of FAA officials, fired the TSA chief and froze air traffic controller hiring. Now, this has been US aviation’s deadliest week since November of 2001.

You know, all the people who soiled their reputations working for Trump‘s first administration but aren’t working in his second have to be thinking right now, “Man, this buffoon is making us look really good by doing all the crazy shit we kept him from doing last time!”

It's totally fucking NUTS that we went 16 years without airline fatalities, and less than 2 weeks into trump's presidency we have planes crashing and falling out of the sky. All while they're forcing top FAA and FBI folks to resign. Nothing to see here, right? 🙄

I generally agree with this, but I would just say that you need to swing at a few more pitches than you have been and you need to swing sooner. Taking pitches until the count is 0-2, and then swinging late at a slider in the dirt isn’t going to get it done.

"Trump’s first actions included demolishing an air travel security group, forcing out the head of the FAA for corrupt reasons, implementing a hiring freeze for air traffic controllers, and sending blanket resignation offers to the remaining FAA employees. Then tragedy struck."

It would be fantastic if major federal institutions would acknowledge that the executive branch cannot legally unilaterally cancel or redistribute congressionally appropriated funding on ideological grounds and thus they have no legal obligation to comply with such directives

This is a reminder that no one can convince Trump voters to no longer support Trump, better than Trump can.

It's not "politicizing a tragedy" to point out the top levels of the federal government aren't functional—the three key leaders here are drunk rapist TV show host at DoD, reality TV star at DoT, and nobody at FAA—and they're doing squat except spreading the same dysfunction down the ladder.
