Prices are soaring, your 401k is in the tank, Social Security phone lines are hours long. Instead of addressing any of that – this administration is picking a fight with Denmark.

Too many judges will happily let Donald Trump fuck over dedicated American public servants. This is an ABSOLUTE disgrace.

Tech expert I trust says this is insanely impossible to do in a few months. More like years. It's also unnecessary. They are taking your Social Security. STOP WAITING FOR IT TO BE TOO LATE.

Here’s an unctuous toady who has zero scruples around caring about what could have happened to troops due to the morons running national security and confuses luck with what her actual job is, which is making sure people don’t have to rely on luck to stay alive www.nytimes.com/2025/03/27/u...

McMorrow: We can no longer accept what we’ve seen at the federal level—holding a press conference in front of the Capitol, telling people you’re fighting for them, and then following up with a text message that says, “I’m fighting for you, give me $5.”

Just remember all this if there is a catastrophic intelligence failure under this administration. Because they will immediately try to crush dissent and offload blame.

18 USC 793(f) makes it a crime to remove national defense information from its proper place through gross negligence. Doesn’t matter whether info was classified. Signal chat is not a proper place.

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.

Well, they lied. Obviously.

On the left: Hegseth's message. On the right: the applicable CENTCOM classification guide provisions. This is all very plainly classified at the SECRET level. They all lied. They should all lose their jobs.

House Rep. Jimmy Panetta: "One of the most basic things that they teach you, from the minute you take that oath, is operations security...That getting out, can lead to the loss of lives...This type of breach, this type of carelessness, this type of recklessness, put men and women in jeopardy."

This segment from @maryannefranks.bsky.social is an incredibly tight argument that captures the breadth of the Trump assault on free speech perfectly and in less than a minute. Spread it far and wide.

Don’t let them spin this Signal debacle as if it’s no big deal. It’s an epic national security failure and a massive story.

Rep. Chris Deluzio: “If any of us had done this as junior enlisted or junior officers… we’d be court-martialed. You’d likely end up in Fort Leavenworth...” Trump’s team played fast and loose with war plans. There must be consequences—and no one is above the law.

Does Pete Hegseth care that he put the lives of our servicemembers at greater risk? It's unacceptable. Everyone in that Signal chat needs to lose their jobs.
