Thank you Jon Osoff and others for speaking up against this shameful embarrassment ✊

1/6/25 going down driveway 🟢

I just heard on French radio “Because the United States is no longer an ally.”

Leland Dudek, Acting Putz In Charge at Social Security, admits that the rushed cutbacks will, alas, create “opportunities for scammers,” and there will be more “victims of fraud” …via @emilypeck.bsky.social www.axios.com/2025/03/24/s...

Bennet: Did you know the President’s Middle East advisor was in Moscow on this thread? This sloppiness, this incompetence, this disrespect for our intelligence agencies and the personnel who work for him is entirely unacceptable. It's an embarrassment

Pete Hegseth is a DEI hire

my goodness you can see Tulsi Gabbard trying to come up with evasive answers to Kelly's questions in real time

Killing Social Security without actually killing it. This is what a vote for Trump was actually for.

I saw the work by Olga Lautman and he findings were disturbing: Steven Witkoff was in Russia when he was added to the signal chat. Russia has infiltrated Signal and used against Ukrainians. Very possible they have the classified signal info:

Food banks across the country, already strained by rising demand, say they will have less food to distribute because of at least $1 billion in federal funding cuts and pauses by the Trump administration reut.rs/4kUZe5b

“The sheer sloppiness is bad. The illegality is probable. The dangerousness is very high.” @cnn.com

They are breaking Social Security, because they do not like Social Security.

Universities in France and elsewhere in Europe have begun recruiting researchers who lost their jobs in the Trump administration’s cost-cutting efforts, or are anxious over perceived threats to academic freedom.

Trump's Social Security nominee just lied to the Finance Committee, claiming he hasn't been involved in any DOGE plans to gut Social Security. My office has a whistleblower that says otherwise. We brought the receipts.

BREAKING: BISIGNANO LIES UNDER OATH @wyden.senate.gov: Were you involved in discussions about DOGE or any of the operations, personnel or management decisions with those working at Social Security? Bisignano: No, sir. Wyden: That sounds like a reassuring response. Unfortunately, it's not true.

Wyden: "I'm of the view that there ought to be resignations, starting with the national security adviser and the secretary of defense."

Angus King doesn't buy Gabbard's testimony that war plans ahead of military strikes isn't actually classified information

Tulsi Gabbard refuses to answer Warner's questions about the Signal group chat

CIA Dir. Ratcliffe: My communications to be clear in a signal message group were entirely permissible and lawful and did not include classified information. Sen. Warner: If it's not classified, share the texts with the committee

SHOWN: When the greatest national security threat is the people in charge of national security.

So far, DOGE has fired more than 11,000 IRS employees and lost two agency commissioners, sparking fears that U.S. tax revenue could plummet by 10 percent, or $500 billion.

There’s always that one person in the group chat who communicates 50% in emoji. We made that person the National Security Adviser.

What you have to understand about Pete Hegseth copying and pasting war plans into Signal is that it almost certainly means he’s got classified documents on his personal UNSECURE devices. Signal isn't on a secure device...are our war plans on his personal devices? @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social

NEW: The Social Security Administration is rushing cuts to phone services at the White House's request, the agency's acting commissioner told Social Security advocates in a meeting on Monday, two sources who attended tell Axios.

Grateful for the overwhelming support in Milwaukee tonight. Get out and vote early, Wisconsin!

How many Signal chats with sensitive information about military operations are ongoing within the Pentagon right now? Where else are war plans being shared with such abject disregard for our national security? We need answers. Right now.

Showed up early to do some reporting in Glens Falls, NY—an Adirondack town in Trump territory—at en “empty chair” town hall for their GOP Rep Elise Stefanik, and it’s already standing room only with more people on the street.

Pete Hegseth should resign. Every member of Congress who cares about national security should be calling for it. If he were a Democrat he’d be gone already.

Swalwell: Hegseth is still the Secretary of Defense? This moron texts out our war plans, putting our soldiers at risk, and he’s not gone? Every one on that chat—they just fire off texts not knowing who is on the chat? They all should be fired if they don’t resign.

Buttigieg: What if this had, in fact, gone to somebody else? I mean, somebody who could plausibly be in some of these people's cell phones. I don't know, the Chinese ambassador or Russian negotiator. And the other question on my mind is how many other times has something like this happened?

Goldberg: I've never experienced this.. these are these are life and death issues and you don’t just put out specific targeting information, specific timings of attacks that have not yet taken place into a commercial messaging app.

Buttigieg: Nobody in Elon Musk's family is at risk from the kinds of economic or security harms that are going on here. They think all of this is a joke or a game because these are incredibly rich, powerful men who, frankly, don't have to worry about the kinds of things most Americans do.

Shout out to Jeffrey Goldberg for reporting on this now instead of waiting two years to put it in a book.

The only thing more terrifying than a pack of evil, mediocre, white dudes intentionally trying to take down the USA... is the fact that they might also achieve it by accidental incompetence. If they don't achieve it on purpose, they might stumble onto it by negligence.

Rep. Pete Sessions on CNN: "We still are a country of rule of law. With that said ... "

News Analysis: President Trump's decision to send a high-powered U.S. delegation to Greenland, apparently uninvited, is already backfiring. Greenland has blasted him as “aggressive” and asked Europe for backup, and the visit is strengthening bonds between Greenland and Denmark.

"In other words, in about eight weeks DOGE managed to lose the U.S. government — more or less light on fire — more than half of what goes to all non-defense discretionary spending."

Donald Trump's official rapid response operation has targeted me for the first time, clipping an interview I did with Kathy Hochul. The line keeps pushing closer and closer to independent media. x.com/RapidRespons...

my takeaway from reading this is that i have to assume that every half-competent intelligence agency in the world has an almost real-time glimpse into what the white house and the pentagon are doing

NSC is organizing and planning for war on SIGNAL?!! First: that’s very illegal. Second : thats very stupid. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Damn. Now Billing Montana has an entry in the 'empty chair' sweepstakes where Daines, Sheehy and Downing were the no shows. Almost 1,000 attendees dailymontanan.com/2025/03/22/n...

And Billings wasn't the only entrant in Montana. Three hundred turned out for an 'empty chair' town hall in Missoula for Daines, Sheehy and Zinke missoulacurrent.com/congressiona...
