Trump promised to end endless wars—now he's bombing Yemen without Congressional approval. I stood up when Biden did it, and I’ll stand up now. I passed w/ Sen. Sanders & Sen. Lee, a historic War Powers Resolution on Yemen in 2019. No president is above the Constitution.

If these men had any sense of honor, they would already have resigned. The fact that they are all still in their jobs is just as damning as their terrifying and lawless incompetence.

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

Our most sacred obligation is to protect our troops. That’s why this reckless security breach is so serious. The Trump administration put the lives of American servicemembers at risk.

FWIW this is what Shapiro had to say about the US annexing Canada: “I feel they will greet us as liberators” “It’s a silly country” “I’m not saying Canadians should vote in American elections. God forbid. We can annex it and just call it an outlying territory. Like Puerto Rico, but of the north.”

After listening to the Senate hearing today and the comments from Trump and his cabinet members, it appears we are heading into another instance in American history where we will ultimately find out that the coverup underway right now is even worse than the original crime.

Putting a reporter in a Signal chat where you’re planning airstrikes, that’s careless. Sharing information that puts our pilots' lives at risk — that’s reckless.

The Trump admin have gotten caught with their pants down with this leaked Signal message. This shows what we can expect from Trump's picks. It is like watching the Apprentice again.

I'm not saying anything novel here but it really is just truly despicable to watch them use THEIR OWN COLOSSAL SCREW UP to slander the reporter THEY INCLUDED ON THEIR CLASSIFIED GROUP CHAT

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.

As I explain here, security isn't even the biggest part of the Signal Scandal. This is to keep actions secret from the US government. It's how to do crimes, bribes and more. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/signa...

Here's the things. You can't install Signal on federal devices. Ergo, this entire chat was being carried out on PRIVATE phones. So not only does the APP not have the proper security, the DEVICES don't either.

Congress and other proper authorities must provide oversight of this incredibly stupid security breach. At a minimum, Hegseth, Waltz, Gabbard, and Witkoff must resign or be fired. And a special counsel should be appointed to investigate. My statement: beyer.house.gov/news/documen...

The only thing standing between Donald Trump and his authoritarian dream is the courts. But to defeat him, we need lawyers willing to litigate against him. Trump is trying to intimidate lawyers and law firms to stop fighting. At least for me, it won't work. I wear his scorn like a badge of honor.

I’m old enough to remember when Secretary Hegseth tried to publicly mock Judge Reyes—suggesting that she didn’t know what she was doing when it comes to protecting our national security. It was … two days ago.

We are really just letting a genocide happen and major news organizations like NPR are complicit. When I read “detained” I think of something formal, legitimate, and mild. Based on other reporting, there was nothing legitimate or mild about what happened to him.

I'm no lawyer, but it seems like discussing war plans in Signal outside a SCIF is maybe just a little bit worse than using a private server to send emails that weren't even marked as classified. But what do I know.

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