If the top people are this sloppy and incompetent, imagine what the underlings they brought in are like.

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...

The entire conversation is a disaster. It was an illegal use of a disappearing messaging app which none of them objected to. Hegseth appears to have copied and pasted the targeting packages into the chat, and Witkoff was literally in Moscow when he joined the chat. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Anyone on that text chain should self-terminate their positions.

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

Pete Buttigieg on leaked war plans

this is dumb as shit. I've been sober 6 years. His alcoholism is a huge part of the reason he is unfit for the job. Please don't let this kind of bullshit stop you from mentioning that an active alcoholic should not be Secretary of Defense. Period. Full stop.

That an Editor at The Atlantic was included on the insecure group chat about war plans last wk does not change the fact that Tesla's accounting scandal still has a $1.4 Billion dollar hole in it of missing funds & no one at the DOJ seems interested in asking how deep the fraud goes. Tesla is Enron.

The fact that Witkoff was in the chat while being in Moscow means that russia knows everything that was being discussed there. But russia didn’t need Witkoff for that because Tulsi Gabbard was also in the group

This is SO much worse than Hillary‘s emails—it’s not even in the same universe. Don’t let them make that bullshit comparison. She wasn’t sharing war plans. She wasn’t in an unsecured text group sharing classified documents and state secrets. She was actually qualified for her job and not a traitor.

This is exactly what we've been saying for months. DOGE is making it harder, not easier, to run the federal government. Our seniors deserve so much better.

Warner: "Suddenly, & for no reason I can understand, the US is starting to act like our adversaries are our friends. Voting in the UN with Russia, Belarus, and North Korea - that's a rogues gallery if I've ever heard one. Treating our allies like adversaries. Threats to take over Greenland ... "

Hmmm…👇 😂😂😂

Oh, Donald. #PutinsPuppet

Wyden: "I'm of the view that there ought to be resignations, starting with the national security adviser and the secretary of defense."

If the White House is insisting that there was no classified or secret information in the Signal chat, does that mean Jeffrey Goldberg can publish it all?

Good one

Who made this? 😂🥴😂

Veterans Affairs chief looks to slash agency—even if veterans suffer https://www.dailykos.com/story/2025/3/25/2312290/-Veterans-Affairs-chief-looks-to-slash-agency-even-if-veterans-suffer?pm_campaign=blog&pm_medium=rss&pm_source=

Is this true? If so, I have no words.

So true 💯 👇🏾

Tom Homan admits that a number of people ICE just arrested in Boston are "collateral arrests" and hence not criminals (city officials are urging ICE to release the names of all the people arrested)

Leave Greenland Alone!!!🇬🇱

When you cause someone else to die by recklessness, negligence, or accident, that’s called manslaughter. Anyone who enforces this ban, which does not allow for medical care for women who are miscarrying and septic, is guilty of manslaughter, IMO.

Violence is never the answer. But if you’re more upset about cars being burned then capitol police officers being beaten, you can rightly STFU.

I don't think a guy who kept classified documents next to his toilet is gonna fire national security leadership for sharing war plans in an unsecured group chat. With emojis! This and worse was a given. Especially when you hire talk show hosts to run defense.

Our for-profit health care system is not only broken & cruel, it's extremely wasteful. While we spend billions on stock buybacks, CEO compensation & denying needed care, Medicare for All would save $650 billion & 68,000 lives a year per CBO & Yale University. Let's get it done.

Warner, with Gabbard and Ratcliffe sitting in front of him: "If this was the case of a military officer or an intelligence officer and they had this kind of behavior, they would be fired."

Buttigieg: What if this had, in fact, gone to somebody else? I mean, somebody who could plausibly be in some of these people's cell phones. I don't know, the Chinese ambassador or Russian negotiator. And the other question on my mind is how many other times has something like this happened?

Remember how a couple of months ago we warned you that Pete Hegseth’s drinking could cause a national security breach?

If these men had any sense of honor, they would already have resigned. The fact that they are all still in their jobs is just as damning as their terrifying and lawless incompetence.

Would love for a reporter or ten to call up Susan Collins et al and ask how they're feeling about backing SECDRUNK Pete Hegseth.

It’s very discouraging to watch our country slowly re-learn the lessons that led to the end of segregation, among them that people who think they’re racially superior are nearly universally incompetent fools unable to face up to their own deficiencies and putting them in charge is suicide

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:

It's exciting to see how many first-time protesters are signing up to create events for the #TeslaTakedown Global Day of Action this Saturday. We'd never created an action before in #London; nor had our #Leeds organiser; #Edinburgh, #Glasgow, #Bristol and #Winchester are also first-timers. 💪🇬🇧

Also let’s be clear about why they’re talking over Signal — they are attempting to skirt their obligations under the federal record preservation laws and ensure no records exists for public review. It’s incredibly illegal, but what do they do that isn’t?

Lest we forget, Hegseth had his Venmo set to public until reporters called him out: prospect.org/politics/202...

Forty-two percent of men ages 18 to 29 have invested in, traded, or used cryptocurrency, compared with 17% of women in the same age range, Pew said. Interestingly, just 17% of all U.S. adults say they have invested in, traded, or used a cryptocurrency, according to the 2024 survey

What happens when businesses start boycotting customers?

Bit weird how pushback against ill-informed or biased views is seen as more of an issue than aggressively right-wing agitators feeling vindicated and emboldened. Bit strange that so many people seem more comfortable with creeping fascism than with being asked to be decent about vulnerable groups.
