5 turnovers in the last 2 minutes is a brutal way to lose any game, but a Sweet Sixteen game? That’s rough. Especially because MD played with so much heart.

This Maryland vs South Carolina game is a great watch. I want both teams to win, lollllll. #MarchMadness

Pulling Stefanik nom is a sign of GOP panic. If they think her R+20 district would be in play were she to leave, they realize they are in deep political peril re: 2026. As they are.

Trump Signs Executive Order Directing JD Vance to Remove ‘Improper Ideology’ from the National Zoo, Other Institutions https://twp.ai/1VULde

This is how it's done. A strong and principled response by WilmerHale to the illegal Executive Order attack - a form of attempted government intimidation declared unconstitutional by a federal judge. This is how to guard the rule of law.

Proud of my law school. But also, it’s amazing that every law school didn’t speak out.

#CoupDaily ☕️ America is NAZI Germany when Turkish, Iranian and Palestinian PhD students are kidnapped by masked people #ICE in unmarked cars and hauled off of campuses to detention center locations with no due process. Trump Turd Reich strikes again.

Breaking: RFK Jr. just announced that he's cutting 10,000 jobs from the Department of Health and Human Services. Combined with other cuts, HHS will have lost 20,000 total jobs.

Elon is now vaguely threatening congresswomen online

JUST IN: The 9th circuit court of appeals won’t clear the way for the mass firing of probationary employees at six key federal departments, leaving in place a lower court’s order reinstating thousands of terminated workers.

News — A veteran died by suicide yesterday outside Seattle Veterans Affairs Medical Center, a rep from VA Puget Sound Health Care System confirmed to me. Employees received an email alerting them earlier today. The veteran was not being treated at the facility. Police are investigating.

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

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

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."

JUST IN: Judge James Boasberg has been assigned to the Signalgate lawsuit.

It turns out Jeffrey Goldberg wasn't the only unauthorized individual in the Signal group chat. Trump nominee Joe Kent, who has yet to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate, was also in the group as they discussed top secret war plans.

Honored to join veterans in calling for accountability and investigations into Secretary Hegseth’s FUBAR situation where he texted secret war plans on Signal to a journalist. We all wore the uniform. If we had texted secret war plans to a journalist, we likely would have been court-martialed.

WOW: @miamiherald.com reveals that a person imprisoned in El Salvador had LEGAL REFUGEE STATUS. He entered the USA legally in January and was detained because of his tattoos, EVEN THOUGH he had previously passed a full background check. Without warning, he was sent to El Salvador on March 15.

🚨 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.

As bad as the Houthi PC Group Chat is, and as bad as the DOGE stories leaking by the minute are...what's happening under the radar is so, so much worse.

She could have been our president. She should have been our president. She is my president. #MomSky

CNN put together a collection of clips of various Trump officials who were on the signal chat criticizing Hillary Clinton’s email server

A+++++ No notes.

Juju noooooo

Pete Hegseth is a danger to this country and our men and women in uniform.

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

Pete Hegseth never should have been tapped for this job. It's too important. He should be fired immediately.

This continues to be the biggest story in the country: DOGE has already squandered half a trillion dollars in 6 weeks. Not billion. half a trillion, $500 billion talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/irs-p...

Yes. This really happened. They used a group chat to plan strikes on a foreign country. No, Signal is not an authorized platform for national security information.

NEW: Judge refuses to lift ban on Venezuelan deportations despite Trump request

BREAKING: Chief Judge Boasberg denies the federal government's effort to vacate the TROs in the Alien Enemies Act case, finding that people the government claims are subject to the proclamation at least have a right to "individualized hearings to determine whether the Act applies to them at all."

Federal judge blocks DOGE/OPM from accessing large swathes of data at the Department of Education and the Department of the Treasury, ruling that DOGE has no right under the Privacy Act to unjustified access to large-scale amounts of personal identifying information.

Warnock: They are busy attacking ordinary people. They don’t understand what it’s like to ration your prescription drugs or what it’s like to try to figure out how to afford groceries. In the words of that prophet who just spoke at The Super Bowl: They not like us

"A complete betrayal of 30 years": The IRS is close to finalizing an agreement that'd let DHS target undocumented immigrants via tax data.
