BREAKING: After a federal judge issued an injunction ending the refugee resettlement funding freeze, Rubio just started terminating all of the contracts. Judge Jamal Whitehead issues a follow-on injunction tonight ordering the terminated agreements reinstated unless Rubio actually follows the law.

Trump suggests Jeffrey Goldberg hacked the Signal group or something: "The person that was on just happens to be a sleazebag, so maybe that's just coincidence. I don't know ... he's basically bad for the country."

This one hasn’t aged great

There's a lot of intentional noise. All eyes should be on what they're trying to do with our voting rights. By far the best and fastest way to get rid of these dangerous, corrupt idiots is to vote them out.

“Using a Signal app like this is hiding what’s happening from the government itself. And that is almost certainly the very reason for the use. These are disappearing communications…There also won’t be any records to determine whether crimes were committed.” talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/signa...

Buttigieg: Whether it's that DOGE site, their so-called wall of receipts, thinking that they were proving that they saved the taxpayer $8 billion with a B, not realizing that the contract they were talking about was $8 million with an M, which means they were off by 100,000%. 

Don’t let them spin this Signal debacle as if it’s no big deal. It’s an epic national security failure and a massive story.

This isn't how gov't is supposed to work: The acting commissioner of Social Security admitted “I was ticked at the governor of Maine for not being real cordial to the president,” so I ended a program in Maine. www.pressherald.com/2025/03/25/s...

Yes, that is a real headline. www.kcur.org/health/2025-...

According to a source I have at the CIA, Director Radcliffe lied today under oath. Signal is absolutely not loaded on agency computers. As a matter of fact it’s specifically prohibited as an outside app. Skype is allowed for conference calls but not Signal. He’s lying. @markwarner.bsky.social

JUST IN: American Oversight is suing Hegseth, Gabbard, Ratcliffe et al, saying their messaging via Signal is a violation of the Federal Records Act. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Pete Hegseth must resign or be fired immediately.

🤣

Fuck Ron Johnson.

Whoa. The CIA deleted a webpage recently about their review board’s procedures for classified information. Nice find, @waltywang.bsky.social!

Standard group chat leak experience

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth should resign. He recklessly texted operational details of military strikes to a journalist, endangering the lives of American troops and our national security.

FINNERTY: Are you saying that they should not be on Medicaid? REP. GREG MURPHY: I don't personally think they're disabled.

"Of all of the American legal institutions now facing sustained attack, none would seem better positioned to push back against Mr. Trump’s strongman tactics than this class of wealthy and politically connected firms, known collectively as Big Law..." (gift link) www.nytimes.com/2025/03/25/o...

Adios muchacho ! 🙋‍♀️🙋🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋🙋‍♀️

A come-to-Jesus moment for American lawyers, and for America's most important law firms. This is it. This is the moment you always imagined, where you told yourself you would do the right thing -- where you told yourself that your profession would stand up. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The breach left military and intelligence experts asking the same questions as the public: Why would top U.S. officials use a free messaging app to discuss classified military plans?

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

Wow- Himes during a heated exchange w/Will Cain on Fox: "I'm not gonna listen to to you tell me that this about a partisan advantage...it is by the grace of God that we don't have dead pilots right now...it makes me want to throw up to hear you turn this into a partisan issue. You just need to stop"

Trump just signed an executive order banning vote by mail and ordering the defunding of any state that does not follow through with it as well as engage in massive voter roll purges. There won't be free and fair elections ever again. If you're waiting for 2026, it's already too late.

FINNERTY: We're hearing reports that 20 million people could lose Medicaid. Do people right now need to be concerned? REP. GREG MURPHY: If we don't do something, this nation's finances spiral out of control. (That's a "yes")

Democratic House Rep. Chrissy Houlahan: "Show us the money. Show us the receipts. Don't edit it. Don't redact it. Don't disappear it. Release it, and release it right now. But we know they won't do that either. They're lying about what happened...they're gaslighting us" Boom! 🔥

I wasn’t thinking about the governor’s condition—I was thinking about the planes, trains, and automobiles he used to transfer migrants into communities led by Black mayors, deliberately stoking tension and fear among the most vulnerable.

Hegseth should be headed to federal lockup. I said what I said

In case you missed it: the Pentagon--that's Hegseth--got warned about using Signal a week ago.

Get this - Steve Witkoff (real estate mogul, now ME envoy) was IN RUSSIA when he was on the Signal group chat with Walz and Hegseth. They learn from Trump. Classified information is to be shared with anyone with no regards for National Security Or the safety of Americans or active military.

🚨 CBS News has received an internal NSA bulletin from Feb 2025 warning staff NOT to use Signal app for sensitive info, citing vulnerabilities to Russian hackers. These docs were sent pre-Houthi chat scandal with Jeffrey Goldberg.

The three point comprehensive maga emergency procedure doctrine says ... .Deny, .Deny, .Deny.

A reminder to our shorts attention spanned readers ... Dan has a very myopic view of all things. He wrongly believes we should "move on", like we did when he appeared with pal Enrique 🤔

The dishonesty of tyrants

Not this knob polisher, John "Corny" Cornyn. He is more of a .... meh "any way the wind blows 🤷‍♂️" more of a make no waves, take the easy way out, type of fella.

Imagine if The Atlantic’s editor chose blackmail over journalistic integrity. There’s a lot of blackmail potential here. Isn’t that exactly why security clearances get denied?
