The greatest threat to Donald Trump’s authoritarian dream is not the courts — it is free and fair elections. While the courts can stand in the way of his twisted vision for America, they can never completely halt it. Trump knows this. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

So feeding the elderly is now fraud and waste. The world is watching The upcoming protests need to be massive April 5th Noon Every state capitol & the national mall Protest like lives depend on it Because they do www.marketwatch.com/story/agency...

Taxpayers in South Dakota paid $150,000 for Kristi Noem to jet-set across the country last year. Camera-ready Noem—who has garnered the nickname “ICE Barbie” for dolling up for photo ops at immigration raids and detention centers—racked up the charges during her tenure as governor of South Dakota

The best-known member of Elon Musk's U.S. DOGE Service team of technologists once provided support to a cybercrime gang that bragged about trafficking in stolen data and cyberstalking an FBI agent, according to digital records reviewed by Reuters.

Did you get that? 👇 I sure as hell did. 🌈 Reagan. Was. An. Asshole. ✨

Your protests are hurting Elon Musk directly and by extension Trump. No protest is too small. Be visible. Be loud. Be disruptive. Be a whole problem for the oligarchy. Keep it up. #3E #TeslaTakeDown

Goldberg: "Hegseth is promising that US warplanes are taking off in 30 minutes to bomb enemy targets that we know are protected by anti-aircraft batteries. If that's not the most sensitive information, the most secret info in the world, I simply don't know what the meaning of 'classified' is."

“You have the top tier of U.S. national security and intelligence policy committing one of the most basic fundamental mistakes that a new hire would make, and that's operational security. These people should know better. "

The most obvious lesson to draw from the leaked Signal chat is that these people really are morons. It's not a public act, it's not a schtick, there's not some secret back room where they drop the facade. They are genuinely stupid, incompetent people.

Top White House officials used disappearing messages on Signal for top-secret national security discussions—violating federal law & risking our security. Even worse? A participant was in Moscow. Congress must investigate. This betrayal cannot stand . adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/the-signal...

Bennet: Did you know the President’s Middle East advisor was in Moscow on this thread? This sloppiness, this incompetence, this disrespect for our intelligence agencies and the personnel who work for him is entirely unacceptable. It's an embarrassment

🚨 CBS News has received an internal NSA bulletin from Feb 2025 warning staff NOT to use Signal app for sensitive info, citing vulnerabilities to Russian hackers. These docs were sent pre-Houthi chat scandal with Jeffrey Goldberg.

Duckworth: "Hegseth is the most unqualified sec def in history & this is further demonstrating his incompetence. He's literally leaking classified war plans via group chat...if you're our allies, I'd be thinking twice about sharing classified information...All these people need to lose their jobs"

This actually makes me smile.

BREAKING: Senate just UNANIMOUSLY restored $1.1 billion for DC local govt that was eliminated Why? Because Senators of BOTH parties work in DC - and most have homes there - and none of them want to be in a hellhole Now - try applying that same logic to THE REST OF THE COUNTRY

The naysayers said it couldn’t be done. Tesla introduces their low-cost EV.

Combating propaganda in authoritarian regimes requires fostering independent sources of information. Supporting secure communication channels, encryption tools, and underground journalism can help counter state-controlled narratives and empower critical thinking.

Something missing from coverage of the Zelenskyy White House visit is the fact that Putin has already offered Trump Ukraine's minerals, plus a deal on Russia's minerals and more. President Transactional liked that offer better. He just needed a way to get out of the deal he promised to Ukraine.
