BREAKING: It turns out that just a matter of days ago the Trump administration immediately put on leave and revoked the security clearance of someone at DHS who did a much less serious version of what Waltz and Hegseth did—confirming a contemptible double standard aimed at protecting Trump's pets.

It gets worse. This Signal situation is just the tip of the iceberg of incompetence in this administration.

no offense to Jeff but if you are alleging the head editor of the Atlantic was cunning enough to circumvent all your security safeguards that kinda makes you sound even worse

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

The first and most important thing to know about last night's Exec order is that it's intended to break current law and allow people throughout the federal gov look at yr tax returns. Beyond that it's intended to compel states to turn over all their data to the fed govt.

It’s an attack on the Constitution, as @jonathanbernstein.bsky.social noted. Crisis makes it seem like it’s some kind of accident.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

In Nov 2023, the WAPO ran a chilling piece on Trump's plans for a 2nd term. It was one of the early mentions of Project 2025. I wrote about it at the time. Looking back, it's remarkable how much has come true, except for Trump invoking the insurrection act. joycevance.substack.com/p/frogs-boil...

Every day we need to remind ourselves none of this is normal, we are living in an America dangerously close to a slide into tyranny. Destroying the rule of law & the independence of the judiciary is always a first step for would-be dictators. Trump is no different. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

I’m struck by how close we’re getting to finally curing some of the world’s worst diseases—sickle cell, Alzheimers, pancreatic cancer, etc.—at the same time that the world’s worst people are destroying medical research and care around the world.
