Carney: "The old relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperation is over."

Actually I think the first rule is to lie. Every chance you get.

Sen. Tammy Duckworth calls on Pete Hegseth to resign: "Pete Hegseth is a f*cking liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that could've gotten our pilots killed. He needs to resign in disgrace immediately."

Ossoff: He’s so consumed by his efforts to secure revenge, crush his enemies, and conquer Greenland that he’s doing nothing for the people who elected him. His entire domestic agenda is tax breaks for the wealthy, rounding up immigrants, revenge, and centralizing as much power as he can..

Six days till Wisconsin’s April 1 election, and there’s still time to early vote in person. Beat the rush on Election Day and vote now for Judge Susan Crawford. To find your early polling place, go to wisdems.org/vote

hey, Sen. Ernst and Sen. Tillis- proud of your votes for Hegseth? This is on your too as much as Hegseth. You knew he was not remotely qualified

The more they lie, obfuscate and deny the glaringly obvious facts, the more I suspect they’re trying to protect the signal chats we haven’t seen yet.

Crockett: "The idea that you want to shut down everybody that is not Fox News is bullshit. We need to stop playing."

There's no gaslighting your way out of this.

Duckworth goes on Fox and Baier reads her statement calling Hegseth a “f**king liar”

Bravo to @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social for his bravery and journalistic integrity.

I appreciate that Jeffrey Goldberg did not sit on this news for a book that he writes two years from now

Hey, I have a question. If there was a “Houthi PC 𝙨𝙢𝙖𝙡𝙡 group” text chain, might there have been another chain for a 𝙗𝙞𝙜𝙜𝙚𝙧 group?

Himes: "Apparently all this mayhem is cheered by the president of the United States and by 20-somethings with laptops and names like Big Balls. But I've been doing this for a long time, and I know that Moscow and Beijing and Tehran and Pyongyang cannot believe their luck."

Donald Trump cannot cancel the 2026 elections. But he can make it very difficult for them to be free and fair. His executive order is aimed at doing just that. Here is my promise: We are going to sue to stop him and we will win.

This is hilarious. #Greenland

“People should see the texts in order to reach their own conclusions.” @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social and @shaneharris.bsky.social share the group chat in which officials planned strikes on Yemen: theatln.tc/UHOLqA9E

Crow: You were also traveling during this discussion, correct? Gabbard: Yes. Crow: And where were you? Gabbard: I don't recall which country I was in at that time. Crow: You don't remember the country?

Castro: "The idea that this information, if it was presented to our committee, would not be classified, you all know is a lie. That's ridiculous."

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

Ears are listening and eyes are watching 👀 Let’s do this 🇺🇸

This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously. Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

We can expect an accelerating brain drain—and talented academics who will no longer come to America.

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

BARTIROMO: Are you investigating how something like this could happen? COMER: I think it's a simple mistake

They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics. Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.

One thing that is clear from these headlines is that the big news orgs don't have a vocabulary or strategy for how to report to readers when the President claims to do something he not only lacks authority to do but even the power to do. That's a very basic, foundational thing.

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

The arrogance, hubris, and stupidity of thinking that The Atlantic wouldn’t just publish the full thread if they tried to deny what was in it… And the responsibility the Senate bears for confirming these yutzes to such important national security positions in the first place…

We are going to be destroyed by the stupidest people on Earth.

When Pete Buttigieg starts cursing, shit has gotten real.

Drugs don't need to be a ripoff. @mcuban.bsky.social is proving it. Listen to how he plans to take on Big Pharma on the latest episode of the LP podcast: www.youtube.com/watch?v=di3A...

Meiselas: Steve Witkoff, was allegedly in Moscow while he was on this group chat. Do you believe the Russians now have all of that information and potentially more? Rice: Well, yes—the Russians have whatever Witkoff was doing or saying on his personal cell phone. The Russians undoubtedly have it.

I'm going to post this every damn day (I hope you will share far and wide) and I hope Senator Murphy @chrismurphyct.bsky.social does an update every week for us. This amount of corruption IS NOT NORMAL! youtu.be/hycoCYenXls?...

Trump is frustrated that his agenda -Cutting benefits like Social Security and Medicaid -Illegally firing federal workers -Disappearing people without due process Is being frustrated by those pesky judges who actually apply the Constitution So Mike Johnson found a solution Eliminate the courts

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

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

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:

This is what happens when you have an entire cabinet full of folks who would NEVER pass a regular security clearance. Led by a president who would never be able to pass one either.

BENNET: Did you know that the president's Middle East adviser was in Moscow on this thread while you were as director of the CIA participating in this thread? Were you aware of that?! RATCLIFFE: I'm not aware of that BENNET: It's am embarrassment

Right now, there’s an important race happening that will shape the Wisconsin Supreme Court for the next 10 years. Judge Susan Crawford is ready to protect the fundamental rights and freedoms of all Wisconsinites. Make a plan to vote early today — don’t wait until April 1st: wisdems.org/vote

Ossoff: This is what happens when you have Fox News personalities cosplaying as government officials.

Any member of the military who did what they did on signal would be kicked out or arrested.

NEW: The ACLU has filed a sworn declaration from a Venezuelan woman who ICE sought to turn over to El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act, who declares that "I heard two US government officials talking and they said 'there is an order saying we can’t take off but we already have.'"
