"First, there’s the Espionage Act, which sounds like it applies only to spies. But there’s a provision in the law that applies to the SignalGate chatters, even if they were all legally entitled to the information. That’s because they have a custodial duty to keep national security information safe."

I have been hearing from people that they have been having issues accessing their Social Security accounts. INSTEAD of going to a branch which may be hundreds or 1Ks+ of miles away from you, call your members of Congress. They have constituent services that will help you regain access. Please share!

We've heard concerning things about the Social Security Administration lately, so I decided to check for myself. SSA says Wednesday is the best day to call, so I called then. Their system told me there would be a two-hour wait time, told me to call back, and then just hung up.

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.”

We’re losing access to world class healthcare, research and vaccines, all because 🟠 is paying a quid pro quo for RFK Jr’s endorsement. ⬇️⬇️⬇️ FDA’s top vaccine scientist, Dr. Peter Marks, is out www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

⚡️ WSJ: “FDA’s top vaccine official has resigned… Dr. Marks writes about HHS Secretary RFK Jr. ‘It has become clear that truth and transparency are not desired by the Secretary — he wishes subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.” www.wsj.com/politics/top...

Early voting is taking place for the special elections in Florida for seats in the U.S. House in the 1st and 6th Congressional Districts. Election Day is on Tuesday, April 1st. Get out and vote for Democratic candidates Gay Valimont and Josh Weil!

Politicians should wear uniforms like Racing Car Drivers, so we can identify their Corporate Sponsors.

What was he even doing here?

Why is Pam Bondi refusing to investigate the Signal chat?

It is utterly disgraceful that, more than 24 hours after hearing of 4 dead U.S. soldiers in Lithuania, trump still has made NO public statement about it. We know how he feels about his painting in Colorado, but not about 4 U.S. soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Uh guys? NBC just found out a DHS staffer accidentally added a journalist to an email thread about an ICE raid in Denver. Yeah, a completely separate incident. THAT staffer is being punished — so why aren’t Hegseth & Waltz???

Sometimes you just have to ask—why? The Senate voted to strike down a rule capping most bank overdraft fees at $5, a measure introduced by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau that was expected to save Americans billions each year.

Fixed

We’re in the middle of spring tornado season

Keep the Congressional switchboard number handy these days: (202) 224-3121

Wilmer Hale partners now have a choice. Disgrace yourself or fight. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Randy Fine, running in FL’s special election next week, threatened to defund the Special Olympics because they invited a school board member he didn’t like to an event. t.co/IpUownJHA9

1. OMG. The main concern is not the ability to hack Signal; it’s that if a foreign government has penetrated the phone of a person who is using Signal, they can read all of the communications on that phone in real time.

Good question. Why DOES Pete Hegseth have a Russian phone number? 🤨

Of course they are.

Pete Hegseth: “Nobody texted war plans.”

Because of the pay gap, women have lost out on more than $60 trillion in wages since 1967. Yes, trillion. On an hourly basis, women were paid 18.0% less on average than men in 2024. We must ensure fair wages for all.

If you can “sneak onto” a signal chat, prolly shouldn’t have used signal right?

I saw the work by Olga Lautman and he findings were disturbing: Steven Witkoff was in Russia when he was added to the signal chat. Russia has infiltrated Signal and used against Ukrainians. Very possible they have the classified signal info:

Top White House officials used disappearing messages on Signal for top-secret national security discussions—violating federal law & risking our security. Even worse? A participant was in Moscow. Congress must investigate. This betrayal cannot stand . adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/the-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

Ossoff: This was a huge a mistake Ratcliffe: No Ossoff: This is an embarrassment. We will get the full transcript of this chain and your testimony will be measured carefully against its content

Periodic reminder that ICE administrative warrants do NOT give ICE (or anyone else) legal authority to enter your home (or anywhere not open to the public) without your consent. Unless law enforcement has a JUDICIAL WARRANT, signed by a judge, they do not have a legal right to nonconsensual entry.

So…lock them up?

Any security professional - military, government or otherwise - would be fired on the spot for this type of conduct and criminally prosecuted for being so reckless with this kind of information.

Goldberg indicates Hegseth lied when he denied texting war plans

Brit is apparently not willing to go along with the New Big Lie being pushed by Hegseth and Fox hosts.

Pete Hegseth is a danger to this country and our men and women in uniform.

Look s like even those required to defend the law cower and kiss the king. We are NOT ok.

FunFact: if the salts, heavy metals, & radioactive components in fracking wastewater get into drinking water supplies... Most US water treatment plants can not filter them out.

Don’t look away

Detainees died due to starvation or dehydration. ICE murdered them.

If there is any upside to this, it's that it has weakened the stigma attached to "Agnostic" and/or "Atheist." Sadly and disgustingly, this picture, minus the hands being together in front of him in the "prayer" position...conjures up thoughts of what Mike looked like on occasion after the adoption.

So, if you’re not a good ally, we can takeover your territory? Sounds like the German approach ahead of the start of WW II.

Trump wants Americans to believe all 261 men the U.S. government abducted and deported to El Salvador are violent, tattooed monsters. Yet another of Trump’s categorical lies. This lie is particularly heinous — and deeply dangerous. Shackled, shaved, and brutalized, 261 men have been abducted…

Hey, Politico -- I consider myself to have "long-term standing in the private legal community" and I have been willing to speak out almost every single day. And, I'm not alone. Yes, there is widespread cowardice among law firms, but don't ignore those refusing to bow down. Defiantly, Marc Elias

If a law firm won't risk everything to defend itself, what makes you think it will risk anything to defend you? My advice: Find a law firm that will not back down and will never bend a knee.

COLUMBIA: [caves] DOJ OFFICIAL LEO TERRELL: “I will tell you right now that Columbia has not in my opinion — and the opinion of [DOJ] — has not cleaned up their act. They’re not even close, not even close to having those funds unfrozen.” Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/03/22/n...

every person involved in this needs to be in prison
