“‘It is safe to say that anybody in uniform would be court-martialed for this,’ a defense official told CNN. ‘My most junior analysts know not to do this.’”

What the actual fuck:

Trump hates American democracy. He hates open societies. He’s jealous of Xi and Putin. He wants America to be like Russia and he’s doing everything he can to make it so.

In all seriousness, Fox can be patriotic and help our country by offering Pete Hegseth his old job. That can help him retire. He's not qualified for this position and he's making us less safe.

Me in the national security group chat.

QUESTION ALERT! What should I ask Comedian/Writer/Director Neal Brennan (Blocks, 3 Mics, Chappelle's Show)? He's my guest tomorrow on Don't Be Alone with Jay Kogen!

Jeffrey Goldberg thinking he was being pranked and then realizing he was actually just in the war plans group chat is such a good microcosm of how it feels to be alive right now, everything seems fake until you realize it’s actually real and incredibly stupid

So, Columbia University is now a safe space for those students who love MAGA, support Israel, and say nothing critical about Trump? Got it.

So, Trump and MAGA will ensure no one wants to come to America, work here, visit here, and spend their money here. How do you think that will impact the economy?

Another one for the list. F**k Airbnb.

Must read: Mahmoud Khalil speaks out for the first time since his arrest by the Trump administration in an exclusive letter, dictated over the phone to his family, from ICE detention in Louisiana.

Mike Flynn on the West Point board may be the most terrifying development since Trump won the election.

Chuck Schumer should step down as Senate minority leader, and Chris Murphy should be voted in. That would be a step in the right direction.

If the Supreme Court ultimately agrees with what the gov't is arguing today, that the President has broad Article II powers that would permit it to deport people & there can be no judicial review, then literally no one is safe.

People are angry at Schumer. I think he made a wrong call yesterday but it WAS complicated. What I’m angry 😡 about is his interview today on NPR where he called Mahmoud Kahlil’s views “heinous.” Really? Because he wants a 2-state solution & land for Palestinians??? Kahlil is not a supporter of Hamas

Several people I spoke to last week said, “If history is a guide, what Trump will need is a war.” And look! He’s found one. 

A theater screened the Oscar-winning documentary NO OTHER LAND, so...the Miami Beach mayor is ending the theater's lease. Free speech warriors, where you at? Bari Weiss and the Free Press? Anyone? www.miamiherald.com/news/local/c...

It’s obvious the world is going to boycott us over the insanity of Trump & Musk. So many people in Europe, Canada & Mexico, follow US politics closely. Unlike many I know in the US, who I call Shruggies, they just don’t bother knowing, shrug it off. Well, soon they WILL know. It will be painful.

I’ve heard 2 stories today of Canadians canceling pleasure trips to the US. The anti-US sentiment in Canada is so big that they cannot come. I hadn’t thought of that, how many travelers will be cancelling trips to the US. That will have a big horrible impact. But I totally understand. Ugh 😣

I just read a book that made the point that people like to do what they’re good at. (I know, duh.) As far as I can see the only thing Trump is good at is bullying other people. It’s his only skill. Too bad his skill is what will take the USA down.

I don't think we give Our Great President enough credit. Who else could manage to be antisemitic, anti-Arab, and pro-genocide all at the same time? Oh... wait, there was another guy with just that trifecta...

He was always a used car salesman at heart.

Also Trump: I’m gonna wreck the U.S. economy on a level that no one— except Vlad— could anticipate, but I’ll tell starving, unemployed MAGAts that it’s okay because we needed to do it to protect the billionaires.

“Washington has become the court of Nero: an incediary emperor, submissive courtiers, and a buffoon on ketamine tasked with purging the civil service. This is a tragedy for the free world. But above all it is tragedy for the United States.” - Claude Malhuret French senator

Seen in Canada…

How I’m feeling right now…

Jeff you are exactly right!

Interesting to see a democrat attempt to risk negative reaction to draw attention to the crisis we're in. @algreen.house.gov

Most Orban-esque speech ever heard outside Hungary.

Really?! He says he saved the autoworkers from economic destruction. When will he talk about the tariffs?

Good for Al Green. Make the bastards remove you. Don’t sit in silence. Don’t give these assholes any respect.

Crockett: We had an opportunity to have a woman lead this country and I promise you, she would have led us to the promised land. But instead we got somebody that seems like he wants to take to us hell

That’s right. 🇺🇦
