Ukraine just showed the world how effective an attack can be if you don’t use Signal.

A nonexistent secret. We all already knew…

Folks don’t miss a beat 😂

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

A US citizen with a learning disability who has just suffered a medical emergency asks a CBP officer for directions outside the emergency room. He ends up detained in an icebox for ten days and has the assistant secretary of DHS lying about him to the public at large. popular.info/p/us-citizen...

The possibility of abduction by a sovereign and imprisonment abroad is one criterion that separates democracies from dictatorships. The Declaration of Independence called the British king tyrannical for transporting Americans, “beyond Seas to be tried for pretended Offenses.”

Skipped the paperwork. Ignored the court order. Broke the law. Ignored the constitution. This ain’t immigration policy. This is straight-up defiance of the rule of law.

I put a hold on Ed Martin’s nomination. He’s denied elections. Fired quality public servants. Attempted to chill free speech. Turns out he’s also carrying water for the Kremlin. So wholly unfit to be a U.S. Attorney.

This is their argument. In court. Not just a theory. From today at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com/p/trump-told...

Found the largest fraud in Medicare history, and he's not a young man playing video games either. You might know him - in fact.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has officially announced that he is running for Senate. So here's everything you need to know about him—if you care about reality. Let's start with the fact that he had to take literal ethics classes after he was indicted for securities fraud. (1/5)

Accidentally not lying to a federal judge will get you fired, disappeared, and fed to feral hogs. apple.news/AjWEN_GgQRGC...

Your daily reminder that the fuckers who are wrecking the economy also suck at national security. So, there's that. 😖 #SignalGate #TrumpRecession

Mafia stuff. Contribute and get protection from prosecution. Opposite of the rule of law.

Daily degradation to the rule of law.

@middleageriot.bsky.social

Based on the replies l, it looks like there a lot of fed workers on @bsky.app I just wanted to say THANK YOU. I can't imagine the shit you are going through right now Thanks for your service to our country

The real trick is remembering which previous Trump scandal the current Trump scandal is meant to distract from.

😕

who did this

When scholars of authoritarianism and fascism leave U.S. universities because of the deteriorating political situation here, we should really worry.

📌The biggest problem isn't that Pete Hegseth is an under-qualified moron who is texting our military secrets to our enemies like some 15-year-old, blackout drunk. The problem is there is an entire anti-American, bought-off political empire on the Right that simply doesn't give a shit anymore ...

This is not normal.

The most incompetent collection of dipshits to ever enter government service.
