Of course advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this. The Secretary is unfit to lead.

One of many infuriating things about the present situation is that SO MANY of these guys understand perfectly well that Trump is going to crash the economy. They were free-marketers until about five minutes ago! And none of them have the courage or patriotism to say it.

NEW: The Supreme Court just upheld ATF’s critical ghost gun rule 👏👏👏 They ruled that ghost gun kits are legally firearms, meaning they must have serial numbers and can only be sold by licensed sellers after a background check. This is a BIG win for public safety.

Today marks 15 years since the Affordable Care Act became law. When Republicans tried to repeal it, John McCain stood up to his party and voted no. Now with Trump about to gut Medicaid, do any Republicans have the courage to oppose his plan and protect Americans' health care?

I guess with all the other open-air graft going on it's easy to overlook, but the U.S. Commerce Secretary using his official position to go on cable news to tell people to buy the stock of his boss's largest campaign donor is just astonishingly corrupt.

Elon Musk said DOGE made a mistake by cutting USAID’s Ebola prevention but it had been “restored.” That’s not true, current and former officials told me and @johnphudson.bsky.social. “There have been no efforts to ‘turn on’” Ebola prevention, said Nidhi Bouri, who oversaw team until January.

The ordinary questions you might ask: Is Elon Musk a government employee? Are his lieutenants? Does he personally hold a security clearance and do his “lieutenants”? Have they all undergone a background check? Are they subject to foreign influence? Have they ever done a sieg heil on stage?

Kash Patel, Donald Trump’s nominee for FBI Director, is a known right-wing conspiracy theorist with ties to QAnon. The FBI does not need “a little crazy.” It needs strong, competent leadership to keep Americans safe. The Senate must vote NO on Kash Patel.

I spent four years investigating these sorts of claims. Children aren’t being taught they’re inherently victims or oppressors. Teachers aren’t leading kids to change genders. Instead these claims are used as a pretext to sanitize history curricula and impose conservative Christian ideas in schools
