Reminder: the First Amendment protects everyone who resides in our country. It doesn't matter if you have a green card or a visa or if you're undocumented. The Supreme Court has repeatedly affirmed that any person residing in the United States, regardless of status, is entitled to 1A protections.

Sending a Russian dissent back to Russia to be tortured and/or killed perfectly encapsulates this loathsome administration’s lack of American values.

1) How the hell did we lose track four soldiers to the point where we don't even know if they're alive? 2) Why is the SECDEF working out instead of working on this? 3) Why is this not the biggest story in every news outlet right now? thehill.com/policy/inter...

Goldman on Waltz's absurd explanation of SignalGate: "It is absolutely preposterous, but what it goes to show is when you are lying you can't keep a story straight."

Ozturk was arrested by six masked officers — like the Gestapo. Her only offense appears to be writing an op-ed in her school newspaper. While I strongly disagree with the views expressed in her op-ed, they are not a valid basis for deportation. This is flat out un-American.

The Onion is aggressively on sale. Subscribing helps us hire comedy writers who get health insurance and even food to eat, with their mouths. That food is converted into energy which allows them to make sentences that make the government sad. Sign up to let this continue: membership.theonion.com

Pilot to Hegseth: "You’re going to kill somebody.” For the safety of our troops, Hegseth has got to go.

They are just disappearing people off the street. Having a hard time thinking about literally anything else.

Pam Bondi 2025: Fox appearances - 5,000 New Epstein files released - 0 New Epstein prosecutions - 0 Fraud prosecutions from DOGE - 0

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

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...

So the guy leading RFK Jr.'s vaccine-autism study? A total quack who was previously charged for practicing medicine without a license for using chemical castration drugs on autistic children.

Donald Trump cannot cancel the 2026 elections. But he can make it very difficult for them to be free and fair. His executive order is aimed at doing just that. Here is my promise: We are going to sue to stop him and we will win.

Republicans in the Senate voted tonight while no one is watching to fatten Wall Street profits by jacking up overdraft fees on you. So much for lowering costs.

Ukraine is NOT surrendering Ukrainian forces just struck a major oil station in Russia near the frontline - and air defense radar stations in CRIMEA If Putin guns for one-sided "cease fires" that only help Russia, then Ukraine will keep fighting - with Europe's aid

Again. As I shared just now on CNN:

I'm really really sick of the orange turd's clown show!

That Kristi Noem video with the detainees is so upsetting and the fact any sizable fraction, let alone a majority, of our society would endorse it is evidence of a deep rot in our entire culture. Like until you answer what fuels the appetite for that kind of thing it will only get worse

When loyalty to an idiot is the only real prerequisite for high office, you end up filling up those positions with sort of people who are dumb, corrupt, or clueless enough to profess their loyalty to an idiot. bsky.app/profile/wire...

This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously. Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

The former top federal prosecutor in Virginia’s Eastern District suffered from epilepsy and died in her sleep last weekend, her family says.

But we can't give food or water to people waiting in line to vote?

Not to be a wide-eyed naïf about such things but... am I right in thinking that they levelled an entire building to get to one guy and *that* is not controversial to anyone in the American media or political class, only that this information was recklessly shared in an unsecured chat?

Bravo to @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social for his bravery and journalistic integrity.

There's no gaslighting your way out of this.

As more information is revealed, it is clear that the cover-up is even worse than the crime. Every single person involved has no business being involved in our government. At minimum, there should be resignations. And prosecutions.

Teen Warned Not To Accept Group Chat Invites From National Security Advisors She Doesn’t Know

Pete Hegseth is a f*cking liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that could’ve gotten our pilots killed. He needs to resign in disgrace immediately.

Masterclass in trolling by Congressman Jared Moskowitz #PeteHegsethMustResign

Russia has convicted 23 captured Ukrainians on terrorism charges stemming from the fighting in Ukraine in a trial that Kyiv denounced as a sham and a violation of international law.

Wow. Fox refused to put their longtime Chief National Security Correspondent on air since the Signal story broke because she has been honest on social media about it. www.mediaite.com/tv/fox-news-...

I signed a napkin in my kitchen that will require A.G. Sulzburger the XXXII to send me one million dollars by the end of this week or else he's going to Gitmo. It's fun to sign things and pretend they're real laws, isn't it?

Hegseth. Must. Resign. #ResignHegseth

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @MatttDavies)

I was told I was overreacting. Now they’re about to fire 83,000 people from the VA. A third of whom are veterans themselves.

Reports are coming in that Trump-era ICE agents have arrested even American-born citizens during raids. If you’re just heading to work or the grocery store, how would you prove you’re an American? This is getting out of hand—Americans have a right to privacy.

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

Gangel: I've spoken to two very high ranking former intelligence officials, both of whom worked for Republicans… “The lack of operational security and stupidity is just stunning”

I have an additional two sources who have shared the same.

Pete Hegseth is a danger to this country and our men and women in uniform.

Circling back on this…

The Fifth Amendment says due process is due all persons, whether the number eight or eight million. And if there were a mass-violation exception to the Constitution, why have a constitutional at all?
