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.

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

BREAKING: Jeffrey Goldberg and The Atlantic have released the entire Signal group chat in which highly classified war plans were discussed. Among them is this message from Pete Hegseth specifically outlining a timeline of their attack 👇🏻

What was dumber: including a journalist on a signal chat about your bomb plans or then calling that journalist “bottom scum” while he still had the screenshots available to publish as your colleagues were already committing perjury

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?

Every single Democratic lawmaker should be calling for Hegseth's immediate resignation right now. Not just some. Not just a few dozen. Every single one, starting at the top with Mr. Schumer and Mr. Jeffries. And the fact that it hasn't happened yet is nearly as shocking as Hegseth's conduct.

If the White House is insisting that there was no classified or secret information in the Signal chat, does that mean Jeffrey Goldberg can publish it all?

It’s very discouraging to watch our country slowly re-learn the lessons that led to the end of segregation, among them that people who think they’re racially superior are nearly universally incompetent fools unable to face up to their own deficiencies and putting them in charge is suicide

there are like three overlapping scandals with signalgate — illegal distribution of sensitive government materials by top members of the administration, illegal attempt to circumvent records laws and possible unlawful use of military force — and democrats should be screaming about them all

In a place that wasn’t supposed to be friendly territory, people turned out in force. Not just angry—but activated. The media will tell you the fight is over. That nothing can be done. That Donold’s reign is inevitable. But they are wrong. BEHOLD! This is what a movement looks like.

Oh, look at that all of my social media feeds with the exception of Bluesky are currently pushing leftist cosplay revolutionary accounts that are attacking AOC and Bernie for organizing people. Crazy coincidence how all of the algorithms owned by billionaires are favoring these talking points.

We simply cannot forget this guy was a mid-level stooge just a few weeks ago who was promoted to the top after he helped DOGE and bragged about it in one of the most deranged LinkedIn posts ever written.

so, see how bernie is passing the torch to the younger generation? see how he's creating space for AOC by using his name, then allowing her to lead? see how SOME older people act like caring elders, and others act like half-dead, out-of-touch narcissistic control freaks? be more like bernie.

Awhile ago I expressed my confusion why Dems don’t have her front and center because she is good at this. “…not because I’m a Marxist but because I was a waitress” is top tier. Someone said “because she’ll succeed” and it’s been fucking me up since. It’s hard to be too cynical for me to process😂
