Americans have long deluded ourselves into thinking that we lead the world in protecting human rights. We’ve claimed the moral high ground. Sadly, & unfortunately for anyone coming to the US for a better life, these claims have proven false. We are NOT righteous. www.trtworld.com/opinion/us-i...

New from 404 Media: the Signal clone the Trump administration uses was just hacked. TeleMessage makes a modified version of Signal that archives messages for government agencies, Waltz used it. A hacker got some users' messages, group chats. Hugely significant breach www.404media.co/the-signal-c...

Himes: We’re negotiating with the Russians apparently right now over Ukraine, right? Is it possible that our negotiating position is on that Signal chat? Yes, it is. So anyway, it’s Christmas morning in Beijing, Moscow… because of the lack of operational security that these guys are showing.

Few lawyers are willing to speak publicly about President Trump’s actions against law firms. Fear is rippling through Washington. But, despite being a target, Marc Elias is still talking. Scott Pelley sits down with him tonight on 60 Minutes.

Warnock: I don’t know how anybody can be apathetic after what we’re going through right now. We say elections have consequences. That ain’t a slogan right about now. We’re living that reality. Here I am doing everything I can with the tools that I have but tools are not the same…

I may be the only lawyer targeted by Trump willing to speak on camera, but for me it wasn't a choice. All of us have an obligation to speak out against what Trump is doing. All of us have an obligation to fight for democracy. I am fortunate to be a lawyer and to have a platform -- and I will use it.

I don't think it's fully appreciated just how much Trumpism is a celebration of ignorance. Trump not only never learns but proactively avoids it. It's a braindead movement from the top down.

Of course he’s trolling. It’s obvious he’s trolling. And yes, he’s probably trolling in an effort to distract. And also: it’s a major problem that a sitting “president” is trolling, and it should be called out because he’s deeply, deeply unwell.

Let’s talk about the Reformers—who we are, and who we’re not. We are not a circular firing squad. We’re not anti-Democratic Party. We are not Sunrise Democrats. And we’re not part of the protest-to-nowhere crowd that just wants to yell without building. 1.

We need a strategy to move MAGA-with-regrets out of the cult.Give them an off-ramp. Focusing on anger & how MAGA deserve to suffer misses the point that it's a REAL cult-that's not a figure of speech. People who were indoctrinated into other cults can better explain it. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Thinking about devastating cuts to NSF: US gov-funded science has been the engine upon which most of the tech wealth was generated. But the oligarchs (currently hoarding much of that $) think it’s their own brilliance & not the accident of standing close to the scientific engine that made them rich.

In a normal world we would just laugh at this video because it should be a parody of the absurdity that is MAGA but the sad truth is that this is exactly what MAGA wants, it is exactly why they are dismantling the Dept. of Education. #WakeUp

This gets papered over as old man yelling at clouds but this is impeachable by itself. Greenland is our ally which has allowed a continual U.S. military presence since WWII, including a vital part of our missile defense and space surveillance. Threatening them is unacceptable.
