Indeed.

At this very moment, it’s getting a little tense in Tbilisi - for the first time in months. Protesters are numerous, angry, and fed up. ALL EYES ON GEORGIA! #GeorgiaProtests

www.npr.org/2025/03/30/g... So, that’s actually not allowed…The Constitution isn’t optional, sir. This isn’t a reality show — it’s reality. Two terms, that’s it.

bring us your poor, your tired, and your huddled masses so we can stuff them in an unmarked van and ship them to a slave labor camp in an undisclosed location

Prices are soaring, your 401k is in the tank, Social Security phone lines are hours long. Instead of addressing any of that – this administration is picking a fight with Denmark.

JUST IN: The FDA’s top vaccine official, Dr. Peter Marks, has been pushed out. In his resignation letter, he slams RFK Jr. for rejecting “truth and transparency” and pushing “misinformation and lies.” Marks warns of an “unprecedented assault on scientific truth.”

People are taking things into their own hands

We will not be distracted. We will not be discouraged. We’ve got our eyes on the prize. And we will build the prosperous, free nation for all that we deserve. The time to organize is now. OcasioCortez.com

Any cop pulling up a mask and obscuring their face should be fired. How is this legal? This is what you see in Georgia and other countries that have authoritarian regimes.

Pilot to Hegseth: "You’re going to kill somebody.” For the safety of our troops, Hegseth has got to go.

Poor Stefanik. All that ass kissing and personality changing just to lose her leadership position and get her nomination pulled. Anyway, I had Greek yogurt for breakfast. With blueberries.

New Law Requires Texans To Show ID To Buy Phallic Foods

I don’t feel pity for any MAGA voter who are now suffering or will soon suffer from their own vote for the orange felon since they were hoping other vulnerable people would be suffering instead.

If you don't want to see this horrible garbage happen in every future high-stakes election, make sure it demonstrably fails in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race by helping elect Susan Crawford

“Those two countries”🤡 The dumbest President in history.

Pete Hegseth allegedly having a Russian email address is the least surprising thing I’ve read today.

They are disappearing people off the streets They are disappearing people off the streets They are disappearing people off the streets They are disappearing people off the streets They are disappearing people off the streets

The incompetence of this administration is staggering.

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.

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

BREAKING LEAK: Signal Leaker Mike Waltz's Venmo Was Also Public - Here's His Contacts krassencast.com/p/breaking-l...

Every actor, director, and member of the Academy be like

Rep. Himes: “As far as I can tell, we are now on team Kremlin. We vote with them and against our allies in the UN. We humiliate President Zelensky in the Oval Office. The president's chief Russia negotiator, Steve Witkoff, is repeating Russian talking points.”

Is this who we are? Never mind, don’t answer that. www.mediaite.com/news/disturb...

SCOOP: A WIRED review of public data shows that national security adviser Mike Waltz, White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, and other top officials left sensitive information exposed via Venmo—until WIRED asked about it.

BREAKING: Rep. Castro obliterates FBI Director Kash Patel and DNI Tulsi Gabbard: “The idea that this information, if it was presented to our committee, would not be classified is a lie. It’s is a lie to the country.”

Himes: "Apparently all this mayhem is cheered by the president of the United States and by 20-somethings with laptops and names like Big Balls. But I've been doing this for a long time, and I know that Moscow and Beijing and Tehran and Pyongyang cannot believe their luck."

The founder of Signal, ladies and gentle people:

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.

NEW: Even by Marjorie Taylor Greene’s gutter standards, this is disgusting & abusive behaviour towards a British journalist. “We don't give a crap about your opinion & your reporting. Why don't you go back to your country.” Huge credit to the American reporter for supporting his UK colleague. 👏

Watching NPR adopt a psychotic right-wing framework and uncritically support government violence must hit so different if you don’t remember the 2000s or a lot of the years since the 2000s

So it turns out Pete Hegseth lied. And Michael Waltz lied. And Tulsi Gabbard lied. And also lied to Congress while under oath. And John Ratliffe lied. And also lied to Congress while under oath. And as ever Jeffrey Goldberg and the Atlantic were telling the truth. This is why journalism matters.

Sen. Tammy Duckworth calls on Pete Hegseth to resign: "Pete Hegseth is a f*cking liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that could've gotten our pilots killed. He needs to resign in disgrace immediately."

#SignalGate

The Atlantic and @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social are committing journalism today. They have a vetted mega-scoop. They handled it responsibly. The WH and Admin lied about it. The Atlantic called their bluff. The material released just now is even more damning for the Trump team.

Lock them up!
