Waltz explanation tonight: "We had all the top brains of the Trump foreign policy team assembled - and every single one of us was outsmarted by a reporter who used the sneaky tactic of accepting a group chat invitation from me addressed to the reporter's name and phone number."

If you believe that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who was on a Signal chat with most of the cabinet members and the VP, will keep your data housed at the IRS, safe. I have a bridge to sell you. IRS has data, in real time, the following: (Thread)

It’s worth stating this simply: For literally anyone in the US Govt from 1945 to 2025, Signalgate would require an instant resignation—and a criminal investigation. It would be a matter of personal honor to resign. The fact Mike Waltz & Pete Hegseth are choosing to fight it out is a terrible omen.

Sooooo… What I’m taking out of this heaping pile of garbage is that White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that Jeffrey Goldberg was accidentally added to the group chat. And the WH thinks Signal is ok to use for our Cabinet members. What a clown show.

One day Trump will not be president and the very powerful people who have spent the last several months bootlicking and capitulating will reinvent themselves for a new era. It is up to us to remember exactly what happened.

I don’t buy the narrative that Trump & President Musk actually WANT a shutdown. If that was the truth, they would’ve put forth an even worse bill that would 100% guarantee zero Dem votes. What they did was propose a bill that green-lights DOGE & Elon’s billionaire takeover by omitting guardrails.

I bought a Tesla because it was fast like a rocket ship. But now every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people. So Tesla, you’re fired! New ride coming soon.

"You might have to suffer a bit" is the MAGA version of "Let them eat cake." When a politician tells you it's your duty to sacrifice for THEIR principles, it's time to start building guillotines.

So MAGA needs to run down and buy a Tesla to support Musk, but their disabled vet neighbor who just lost his job at the VA is a lazy SOB taking advantage of a bloated government and deserves to be unemployed. They do worship their heroes to the extreme.

President Trump has spent years bashing electric vehicles. But with Tesla facing a backlash over Elon Musk’s role in his administration, the president said he wanted to buy one of the company’s cars. It was an extraordinary scene of a president using the backdrop of the White House to boost sales.

Everyone protesting at Telsa Dealerships as part of #TeslaTakedown should feel great. You have caused so much pain for Elon Musk that today he needed Donald Trump to do an infomercial for the Tesla at the White House to help sales. But that still won't save it. Bye Bye Tesla!

President Trump needs to write an email about five things he's done in the last week to lower prices. Hosting an infomercial for Tesla does not count.
