Signal's end-to-end encryption is useless if one end (someone's phone) has been hacked. It is, however, good for hiding stuff from public records laws. This is a huge scandal.

In any other administration of the past 80 years, the defense secretary and the national security advisor would, following an equivalent scandal, now resign.

A group of Dem senators are demanding answers from the Trump admin about the war plans Signal debacle: 1. What disciplinary action will be taken against those involved in the "Houthi PC small group" Signal chain? Will you revoke their security clearances? What security training had they received?

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

Our Colorado Senators are failing this test.

Our nation has never been less secure than it is right now.

It’s only been a day and we have six credible family reports from Reuters and Washington Post that missing men were not in a gang

To put it in clearer terms…

While the Russian Useful Idiot in the White House is busy claiming bullshit wartime authority to further his efforts destructing Democracy, just a reminder that everything he has said is a lie & everything that he says going forward will be a lie. As for his enablers, screw them.

1. What you see here is clearest illustration why things are so messed up and why it cannot get any better until this asymmetry is addressed. Put simply: the right-wing has narrative dominance. My org @mmfa.bsky.social did this study and has been sounding this alarm for years. Some thoughts...

Literally whitewashing history. The Civil War was peak wokeness. washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

If you'd shown up for Harris: -401Ks would be growing, not shrinking -Inflation would be shrinking, not growing -Rates would be falling -Veterans would still have their jobs -Gaza would have supplies and power -Allies wouldn't be canceling arms deals -Trump would be in prison

Yes. The answer is yes.

Harris had moderate stances on every major issue and Trump's are insane, what are we even doing here

Let’s face it, Schumer has been terrible even before this. It is time for new leadership. He isn’t the person for this moment in history, and the longer he clings to power the worse off we all are.

AOC: "There is a deep sense of outrage … There are members of Congress who have won Trump-held districts … walked the plank and took innumerable risks in order to defend the American people … To see some Senate Democrats even consider acquiescing to Elon Musk, I think it is a huge slap in the face."

This is exactly right but so commonly misunderstood.

flashback to 2012 when President Obama said he hoped his victory would finally break the Republican fever

Schumer needs to be replaced as minority leader. He's out of touch, hapless, and ineffective to the point of complicity. Wake up, Dems. FFS.

He is so weak. Whatever the approach was going to be, Schumer has totally bungled this chance. He must step down as our Senate leader. What an embarrassment! ☎️☎️ call his office ☎️☎️ www.nytimes.com/2025/03/13/u...

As predicted, women in New Hampshire had a hard time voting yesterday because of the new proof of citizenship law: “It doesn’t have my married name on it,” she said. Town voting officials then sent her away a second time, to get her marriage certificate. www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2025...

NEW: “Kennedy paused a multimillion dollar project to create a new Covid-19 vaccine in pill form on Tuesday, and the Food and Drug Administration canceled an advisory committee meeting on updating next season’s flu vaccine.” newrepublic.com/post/192059/...

Hey Dems, lifelong Democrat here and constant volunteer and financial contributor. Stop sending me requests for $$. I need to see you treating this crisis like what it is: our country will fail and fall if you don't do more than wear pink and hold sternly worded press conferences. Wake TF up.

And now Trump and declared a national emergency and and escalated trade war with Canada. A deranged madman is running the country. Trump is nuts too.

Burn, baby burn! I love this for him. 😂

"Because of public skepticism, it is not settled science" is a profoundly anti-scientific view. It's embracing the notion that grifters can overcome truth with sheer volume, that truth itself isn't based in observable reality but in the scope of consensus.

I got your waste, fraud, and abuse right here

The National Cancer Institute (part of NIH) released new guidelines for "controversial, high-profile or sensitive" keywords that require "review prior to publication" if included in a product or materials. Keywords include abortion, obesity, and peanut allergies.

This is simply incredible: Christiane Amanpour said reports indicate that the Trump regime reached out to opposition leaders in Ukraine to try to get them to challenge Zelensky, and they said no. This is election interference at best - like trying to start a coup! He is following Putin’s playbook!

There’s been zero explanation for this given but it seems exceedingly likely it’s pure retaliation for the Maine governor challenging Trump. Really sick. www.pressherald.com/2025/03/06/s...

“let”

Is one of these your representative? Call them and let them know you don't approve of them voting with fascism!

This fucking pisses me off. MTG screamed at President Biden during the SOTU and nothing happened Some dude screamed "You Lie" at President Obama during the SOTU & nothing happened But Al Green screams at a Nazi, traitor, felon and is removed & censured JFC Democrats, grow a fucking spine

Members of the United States Congress are asking an unelected, unaccountable private individual for permission to act like members of the United States Congress.

1. As I lie in this bed overcoming whatever demon-hell kind of cold I have, I have been thinking about what it means for a president to dismantle the United States government as the rate that Donald Trump is, and I keep coming back to what a professor at the University of Texas at Austin said:

I think it’s fascinating how this administration’s guiding principle on every single policy is just “be evil.” Starving children? Take away their food. AIDS patients? Take away their treatments. Refugees from conflict zones? Deport them. Nations under attack? Cut off assistance. VA? Fire everyone.

French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

“I won’t forget” ?

No-one should be under any illusions what is happening here. The US Government has decided to kill Ukrainians until the country signs over its mineral wealth. Trump is the terrorist that shoots a hostage every hour until his demands are met. Pariah state.

Great. He will likely ignore the ruling. So what happens next?

The resistance is here!! They are fighting the good fight... by color-coordinating.😳🙄 We are so screwed.

oh wow amazing way to fight back this will make them tremble in fear why do they even bother getting up in the morning

November 2024: Trump will save the economy March 2025: We have returned to subsistence agriculture

There is no country on earth with laws against corruption where this wouldn’t be a crime

NEW: This is brilliant from Trudeau. "Today, the US launched a trade war against Canada - their closest partner & ally, their closest friend. At the same time, they're talking about working positively with Russia, appeasing Vladimir Putin - a lying, murderous dictator. Make that makes sense." 💥

Dems are trying to make #TrumpSlump trend, but it looks like it should be #TrumpCrash.

This is not law. It couldn’t withstand legal scrutiny. Don’t comply in advance university presidents. General counsel, don’t panic. Do law, not vibes.
