Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had the consumer messaging app Signal set up on a computer in his office at the Pentagon so that he could send and receive instant messages in a space where personal cellphones are not permitted, according to two people with knowledge of the matter.

OPINION: They did to Jesus what they do to all troublemakers: They arrested, tortured and killed him.

"Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials from the White House press corps.… Imagine if I had said to law firms that were representing parties that were upset with policies my administration had initiated, that you will not be allowed into government buildings."

Trump cannot cope with blame or responsibility. Every time the economy or the stock market suffer from his decisions, he’ll use Powell as a scapegoat. Even though he knows that will make the problem worse, he’ll still blame it on Powell. That’s Trump’s pattern. Fear of failure tortures him

"I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance."

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R): "We are all afraid…I am oftentimes very anxious myself about using my voice because retaliation is real."

President Donald Trump attacked Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on Thursday for not cutting interest rates and said he could fire him if he wanted to, renewing a threat from his first term that could cause a legal showdown over the issue of the central bank’s longstanding political independence.

🚨🚨🚨 A top Salvadoran official on Wednesday rejected Sen. Chris Van Hollen’s request to meet with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the man the Trump administration said it mistakenly deported to El Salvador last month. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

“It’s amazing that others in this room underwrote electing a man who, in the last week, single-handedly destroyed all of American science. It’s amazing how much good science you can destroy with $320 million and RFK Jr, very fast.” — Seth Rogen’s censored remarks presenting the Breakthrough Prize

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

Make sense of this mess: We’re shunning skilled immigrants —while dumbing down schools by banning books & defunding education. And the grand plan for the workplace is a bro-club of white men hoarding power. So when does “greatness” kick in? Because all I’m seeing is regression wrapped in a flag.

"After nearly five hours, he and his wife were released. They are now pursuing legal action. "It's not about the immigrants," his sister, told NBC10 Boston. "It's coming to us Americans, and it's going to go after all of us." www.nbcboston.com/news/politic...

Either the U.S. government *is* able to exert monetary and diplomatic pressure on El Salvador sufficient to produce Abrego Garcia’s release, or it isn’t. The latter would be either a bald-faced lie or a pretty stunning concession of our national impotence. The Vice President should pick one.

Whoever did this—buy them a drink. ☠️🤣

For the mathematically handicapped

China really upping their trolling game since the tariffs.

Tomorrow’s going to be a good stress test of the press. El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. At the press availability, every Q ought to be about Abrego Garcia: where is he now? Did US ask you to return him? etc. WH will hate, maybe try to prevent, so all should band together.

😸😸😸😸

SAW IT COMING

Art of the deal 🤣😂🤣😂

A president who has the power to send an innocent human being to a foreign concentration camp, but claims he lacks the power to bring them back, is committing the crime of false imprisonment.

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year. Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

Wow! She Is Receiving Pushback From Sycophants…they will be removed soon…

Good morning Bluesky !

Donold sends people with soccer tattoos to El Salvador and lets people with swastika tattoos go free.

Former Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said that the tariffs are a self inflicted wound on the economy, and chances of a recession are high. Elon said effective July 2025, the social media app X will become the official and only communication system for Social Security Administration and Medicaid.

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

It’s Amazing What White Evangelicals Are Willing To Ignore….

They are obviously slow learners

Never fails

Are you a woman who changed your name when you got married? Congress is considering a bill that could make it much harder for you to vote. Call your rep—this is not a drill. indivisible.org/resource/cal...

Raskin: He destroyed more than $10 trillion in American wealth in a single week. And then he went golfing and bragged to America about winning the tournament at his own golf course. That's like bragging about being endorsed by your own campaign manager. So much winning

IN TRUMP WE TRUST to demolish democracy.

We have a winner…🏆
