According to a source I have at the CIA, Director Radcliffe lied today under oath. Signal is absolutely not loaded on agency computers. As a matter of fact it’s specifically prohibited as an outside app. Skype is allowed for conference calls but not Signal. He’s lying. @markwarner.bsky.social

When schools are run like businesses, our kids become commodities. We can't let profit-driven interests dictate the future of our children's education. #ProtectOurKids

The GOP's education agenda is a Trojan horse for ideological indoctrination. They're using schools as a battleground to shape young minds and suppress critical thinking. #ProtectOurKids

We used to take pride in the fact that other donor countries entrusted _their_ money to us for joint programs. Now, we've cancelled the programs, and won't even pay our allies back.

the thing about “democrats should take popular cultural positions” is that what constitutes popular is a function of an interaction between the public and elites. if a faction of elites start screaming about a vulnerable minority and another faction says they have a point, this shapes the public.

So Def. Sec Hegseth changed the name of Ft Moore back to Ft Benning. As w/ Ft Bragg, they found another soldier with the same name to make it seem like they weren't just changing the name back to honor a Confederate. But you should know who Ft Moore was named for. 🧵 www.defense.gov/News/Release...

This is the second time USAID/State is punishing people revealing the truth that Marco is killing children. They're quite desperate to hide this fact, as if the reporters in Africa or court declarations are making it up.

Republicans just shot down an amendment to their tax scam that would require the top .05 percent of American households to chip in just a measly 2 cents for every dollar of wealth over 50 million. You can't make this shit up.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

This is a full purge of every single LGBTQ employee at the NSA. Rufo is falsely mischaracterizing a LGBTQ employee resource group as a "sex chat" to create pretext to fire every single member in it. This is a playbook they will run to purge the entire federal government.
