This analysis by @juliettekayyem.bsky.social makes a great point: Why tf were these rando political people privy to the tactical details of a military action before it happened? Like, Stephen Miller is giving input on a strike?? What is even happening

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.

When scholars of authoritarianism and fascism leave U.S. universities because of the deteriorating political situation here, we should really worry.

Watch: In the wake of the Signal text disaster leaking war plans, we took a look back at what Trump officials said about previous leaks. It’s not pretty. @jvl.bsky.social and @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social break it all down:

Pete Hegseth would not be Sec of Def without @RogerWicker. He had the power to stop the nomination. So, will Senator Wicker call for an investigation of the most serious national security breach in modern times? Or just look the other way? Party or country? www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Everyone is blaming Waltz, but why did no one—not even the Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard—say that they should not be discussing classified information on Signal.

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

You've got to wonder how many signal chats are going on in the Trump administration that they didn't accidentally include the Editor in Chief of The Atlantic in.

I feel like this is getting lost. Marco Rubio has the power to ensure that data/evidence of potential Russian war crimes on abducted Ukrainian children gets to Europol. Instead, he is preventing this. Why? He won't say. Let's not let this one drop. newrepublic.com/article/1930...

So the Trump administration’s argument is that this dude, not a court, should have the final say on who ends up in an El Salvadoran prison. Does that make you feel safer in America?

Has any new drug saved your life or the life of someone you know? If so, you can thank the NIH, which Trump and Musk are illegally destroying, in violation both of the law creating the NIH, and appropriations laws telling NIH what money to spend and how

As a reminder, Joseph Welch — who defied McCarthy and brought him low with the “no sense of decency” line — was a partner at the prestigious firm of Hale and Dorr (now WilmerHale). It’s not only possible for leading firms to resist; it’s essential.

Holy shit. Republican Harriet Hagemen got torn apart at a town hall in Wyoming last night. In a state that voted for Trump by 46 points. She tried defending DOGE and it went as well as you’d imagine. “Deport Elon, Deport Elon!” Watch to the end…

Extraordinary moment — Nancy Pelosi issues a statement calling on Democratic senators to reject the House funding bill, i.e. to defy Chuck Schumer. "Democratic senators should listen to the women," she says, referring to Murray/DeLauro who want a 1-month stopgap bill instead.

These are bold and wild allegations from the FBI, which is moving to criminalize organizations like Habitat for Humanity for receiving grants from the EPA. In a court filing, Citibank disclosed that it had been directed by the FBI to freeze the bank accounts of these groups.
