Government abductions are unconstitutional. Denying anyone the right to due process in America is unconstitutional. If you’ve rationalized your silence or support for any of it because it’s happening to those you disagree with, give it a minute… They’ll get to you soon enough.

A few years ago I visited the National Museum of African American History & Culture with my grandparents. When we stepped out of the building my grandmother kept repeating the words “I lived it. I lived it. I lived it.” She’s still here. That history is still in her bones. You can never erase that.

Vote WISCONSIN FOR JUDGE SUSAN CRAWFORD

Maybe america forgets, it wasn't just support at 9/11, landing every single plane at our tiny airport in Newfoundland, it was also the "Canadian Caper" made famous by the movie Argo. We have stood by you, died with you, supported you, and YOU elected this monster who wants to destroy us. #FuckThis

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.

Really feel like I’m losing my mind: government OBVIOUSLY cannot punish an individual law firm for hiring someone it disfavors! It’s ludicrously unconstitutional and I feel like without a day of law school I could argue the case. And yet the best paid lawyers in the country are folding?

I built Democracy Docket for times like this. Fiercely independent, uncompromisingly pro-democracy. No corporate overlords. No Substack compromises. It will never back down or obey. Sign-up now to stay informed and support. www.democracydocket.com/member-me/

Himes: This is his life now. He’s nowhere near qualified for the position he holds, so when he gets on a Signal chat with his buddies and says, ‘We’re a go. Centcom says all in. F-18s,’ it just makes him feel really, really good. Sadly, of course, it puts our people at risk.

Layoffs at NOAA, which warns us about severe weather Attacking NIH, which finds cures for illnesses Dismantling SSA, which administers Social Security payments Terminating food inspectors and food safety committees at the USDA... The "specifics" of DOGE put us all at risk.

I think there is going to be a Red Rural Recession and soon if all the cuts continue as is All the firings, cancelling of grants and contracts with companies , the closing of offices, disproportionately impact small towns, cities and states. Their finances will be turned upside

As a Missouri resident, I could see everything that’s happening coming a mile away because they already did it to my state. Defunded schools, kicked kids off Medicaid, refused the will of voters, attacked marginalized communities, and sold off farmland to foreign companies. We knew.

Maybe what the oligarchs should do is move to private islands where they can pay for their own roads, health care, and social services and leave us alone to provide for our own. Of course we will put tariffs on what they buy!😁

Make this go viral! Her husband’s life was put at risk by the Signal texts.

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."

The lying and the staggering incompetence around this is astounding. And dangerous.

They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics. Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.

🚨 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.

I had legit completely forgotten this.

10 years ago, if group of miscellaneous people were hauled out of bedrooms, work & off the street & flown without hearing to brutal prison in El Salvador, you would have said must be in Chile or Russia or China, not US. "Can't happen here." It is happening here . Why are you now allowing it?

There’s that airtight logic we’ve come to rely on from Don Jr

This is a critical point everybody in the media should be amplifying:

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

It was not just the little forced-out major but ALL those people on this Yemen call - too lazy or ignorant to go to a SCIF. They should all be immediately fired and all security clearances removed. This was not an 'oversight' it was a deliberate compromise of security

Exactly

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

This seems like an important datapoint

Thom Tillis casting the deciding vote to confirm Hegseth, and his shameful silence yesterday, should be a major issue in the 2026 NC Senate race.

We were worth a lot of money, our nation. That inheritance belonged to us. Now billionaires are sucking us dry. We will have nothing soon.

i have yet to see a picture of kash patel where he doesn't look coked out

🔑 under-discussed point — why they were on signal:

In case you’ve forgotten how we used to treat this sort of thing… There would be bipartisan calls for investigations Impeachment would be a foregone conclusion Several people would’ve resigned or been fired by end of day Back when responsible adults were in charge, not this insane clown posse

He’s in a White Supremacy gang and he’s in charge of our military 🚨 🚨 🚨 🚨
