A guy just (endearingly) referred to my musical tastes as “slut pop” and I’ve never loved anything more. 🤣 To be clear, I told him my faves are Chappell, Taylor, Sabrina, and Gaga, so he’s really not wrong. It’s kind of a genius new genre.

Yes, Fox News, I have definitely texted the wrong person before. In fact, I've done it numerous times. The difference here is that my erroneous texts revolved around lunch details or sending an article to a friend -- not outlining attack plans that put our troops in grave danger. Hope this helps.

Reminder: the First Amendment protects everyone who resides in our country. It doesn't matter if you have a green card or a visa or if you're undocumented. The Supreme Court has repeatedly affirmed that any person residing in the United States, regardless of status, is entitled to 1A protections.

They are arresting people on the streets, terminating their visas, and disappearing them for writing things they disagree with. This is where we are. Two months in. Right now. If you think they won’t begin coming after citizens soon, you are mistaken.

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

We're disappearing college students because their opinions are deemed threats to foreign policy as the Trump Administration is literally sharing classified information and military strikes on an unsecured Signal chat with journalists.

I’m sorry, but underlying national security crisis aside, that’s a LOT of typos and grammatical errors for an official response from the White House. Leavitt should be embarrassed for herself.

I don't care what side of the Israel-Palestine conflict your sympathies lie on, snatching up people with a valid student visa for the crime of writing an OpEd is naked fascism and if you don't oppose this you are a threat to this country's most basic values

Thoughts on Signal gate, as someone who spent 19 yrs at CIA. I'm thinking of all the times I accidentally brought my phone into the office and had to not only immediately walk it across the massive parking lot to my car, but report myself to security. Do that too many times=real repercussions

We are in the midst of what many consider the most promising pancreatic cancer cure research in decades. This is literally joining the War on Cancer on the side of cancer. It's happening in multiple departments. They're also attacking mRNA fax science which is the heart of the possible breakthrough.

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.

Trump wants to set rules for the way states run their elections and wants DOGE to audit voter databases. DOGE. Not an independent entity - his cronies. Mike Johnson is talking about eliminating district courts. These are not actions you see in a Democratic Republic.

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.

According to MAGA, if you hit a car with a baseball bat because you don’t like the company’s owner you’re a “terrorist”, but if you hit a Capitol police officer with a baseball bat because you don’t like the results of an election, you’re a “patriot.” Do I have that just about right?

Now that I am finished screaming into the void about schooling for kids with disabilities being assigned to RFK: understand what this means. He’s lumping accommodations into HHS, meaning those needs are now considered medicalized. Different from everyday education. This is eugenics.

If you beat a Capitol police officer with their own shield in an effort to overturn a free & fair election, you go free, but if you vandalize an electric car, you get 20 years in an infamously brutal El Salvadoran prison.

I have two friends, neither of whom are politics reporters but who both work in “the media,” who both told me yesterday that they aren’t even allowed to write or post about Trump with work accounts because describing anything he’s doing objectively would appear “anti-Trump.”

The larger picture, as others have pointed out, is that the Biden administration and now the Trump administration have cast anyone who defends Palestine as "pro-Hamas" and anyone who defends the rights of the people saying it as "Hamas sympathizers" which makes it much easier to justify persecution.
