Elon, what was it you were saying about “paid operatives”? 🤨 (My dad, a WI voter, got this text this morning.)

MAGA: Million dollar give aways in elections… that sounds good! ALSO MAGA: don’t give water to people standing in long lines in the heat… that’s election fraud. 🤯 Maybe if the water is worth millions, that will be acceptable. 🤷🏾‍♀️ Go vote WISCONSIN!!!!

Someone explain to me why it's illegal to give an old lady a bottle of water as she's waiting on line for hours in the sun to vote, but it's totally cool for an ultra-billionaire to bribe voters with million dollar checks in Wisconsin.

Goldman projecting annual inflation will be 3.5% at the end of the year, the unemployment rate will be 4.5%, and a 35% chance of a recession. Goldman has persistently been one of the rosiest economic forecasters over the last few years.

Of course they lied to Congress. And now there's no one in the DoJ that will do anything about it. Keep calling them out on their lies. We're the only check on them now.

Read this.

And again- the soft power losses will take generations to rebuild. www.huffpost.com/entry/usaid-...

So we could lose $200B in tourism, $100B in immigrants paying taxes, $100B in weapons manufacturing, $500B in lost tax revenue from firing IRS employees… is it sinking in yet?

I feel sick.

Day 68 into the GOP takeover: Prices are going up. Consumer confidence is plummeting. Classified info is being leaked. Social Security is being dismantled. Residents are being arrested for their political views.

There is no moral equivalence between bullies and the bullied, between tyranny and democracy, or between brutality and decency. No individual can be free in a society devoid of justice. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.

Working with an interdisciplinary team, we have developed a website to communicate how the White House's proposed cuts to health research would cause losses of $16B and 68,500 jobs. Find out how your community may be impacted. Explore more at SCIMaP: scienceimpacts.org a 🧵

Yep

Trevor Milton donated $920,000 to Trump’s PAC last year. He never made political donations before that. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Elon Musk doubling down on calling Senator Kelly a "traitor" is beyond the pale. Senator Kelly is a decorated Navy vet who’s devoted his life to serving our country. Musk, on the other hand, has only ever served himself.

Ah. A million dollar lottery thrown by a white nationalist supporting billionaire to buy votes. America the paid off. Might as well collect some cabbage while our democracy dies, huh?

Republicans think this talking point owns the judges but really all it shows is that Trump breaks the law constantly

This won’t fucking happen. DOGE bros can’t even change a footer icon from the twitter bird to an X on Gov. websites. 🤣😂🤣😂 Yeah, I’m fucking talking about you S_______

TRUMP CRASH CONTINUES Consumer confidence down 30% since Nov. 2/3 expect rising unemployment—highest since 2009. Even the wealthy are worried: just 26% expect to be better off next year (down from 42%). Fears over job loss and tariffs surging. Inflation rising. BOA sees “modest stagflation” ahead.

Clean opsec y'all.

It appears that Signalgate is actually the second time a reporter has been given classified information. This incident took place in January but is only now being reported. The incompetence is stunning. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

So filing grievances is now "declaring war," according to the administration. They act so recklessly towards everyone else, yet take things so personally when they're on the receiving end. This is a dangerous way to run a country. Hell, this would even be a dangerous way to run a small business.

T H I S.

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

They’ll never accept it, but everyone who cast a vote for Donald Trump did real, generations-long damage to the United States and the west in exchange for essentially nothing of value.

It's carnage at HHS this week. We need to seize every opportunity to fight against this destructive regime that is cutting funding, programs, and support systems for so many Americans. If you live in WI or FL congressional districts 1 or 6 you have an election next week. Get out and vote!🗳️ #speakup

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."

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.

There's a law that you can't close Social Security offices without notifying Congress... and that's exactly what Edolf is doing. Where is the lawsuit?! Where?!

For American readers, this is from one of the UK's leading right-wing newspapers today. The game is up. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/comment/2...

Gabbard’s lack of recollection is big lie. You don’t think they have retraced every step of this debacle before these hearings? She remembers every detail I can assure you.

18 USC 793(f) makes it a crime to remove national defense information from its proper place through gross negligence. Doesn’t matter whether info was classified. Signal chat is not a proper place.

As a member of Oversight, I’m sending letters to the identifiable officials in the Hegseth Disaster Signal Chat demanding that they retain all messages for any pending litigation and Congressional investigations. Any deletion of the chat is a willful destruction of evidence.

just keep staring at this one. “disappearing message time set to 1 week.” written evidence of members of the presidential cabinet deleting records of their communications about a military strike

On the left: Hegseth's message. On the right: the applicable CENTCOM classification guide provisions. This is all very plainly classified at the SECRET level. They all lied. They should all lose their jobs.

NBC News: The Espionage Act contains a provision making it crime to disclose national defense secrets "through gross negligence."   The law does not require info be classified, because it was written before the classification system existed. The law refers simply to "national defense information."

There are RULES for gov’t documents—who has them, sees them, keeps them, where they’re kept—because they’re a record of gov’t business. Not open to all—but containing the doings & ACCOUNTABILITY of what our gov’t does. The Nat’l Archives stores much of that vital data. DJT fired the archivist.

Confirming, as was obvious from context already, that this wasn’t a one-off. They are routinely using Signal to evade statutory record retention requirements.

BREAKING: A high level information security source inside the Department of Defense says they were ordered by political appointees to ignore information security regulations and install Signal on government phones for senior leaders.

One thing that can get lost in all this is that Jeff Goldberg knows much, much more about national security than the principals who were on that text chain.

Duckworth: "Hegseth is the most unqualified sec def in history & this is further demonstrating his incompetence. He's literally leaking classified war plans via group chat...if you're our allies, I'd be thinking twice about sharing classified information...All these people need to lose their jobs"

When the stakes are this high, incompetence is not an option. Pete Hegseth should resign. Mike Waltz should resign.
