A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security with 100% of their income. A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security with less than 1% of their income. Who agrees it’s time to scrap the cap?

In Feb, a Pentagon agency issued guidance that Signal is "NOT approved to process or store nonpublic unclassified information (e.g. Protected, FOUO, CUI, etc.). Any use or application must abide by DoD and NSA/CSS policy." The Sec. of Defense violated that guidance. open.substack.com/pub/saltypol...

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

a bunch of government goons from ICE/HSI showed up to an elementary school in DC this morning and tried to detain a staff member in the parking lot but the person's colleagues intervened and stopped it and let that be a reminder to all of us that we can do that

The more they lie, obfuscate and deny the glaringly obvious facts, the more I suspect they’re trying to protect the signal chats we haven’t seen yet.

From Fox’s Chief National Security reporter. Who can’t seem to get any airtime lately. For some reason.

a cage full of shaved men in bunks stacked up to the ceiling is the modern day death camp. they are invoking the cruelty, the sadism, the AESTHETICS of Nazism and turning it against young Latino men. it is disgusting and it offends me in my deepest self.

we really need to stop saying “arrested” by ICE. the word you’re looking for is “kidnapped”.

The first rule of Trumpism is to never apologize or admit wrongdoing. That’s why he’s not firing anyone or even entertaining the idea anybody around him did something wrong.

"That’s why the CIA guards don’t allow cell phones, or even Fitbits, into their buildings. Which brings us back to Bill Murray’s question: Why was the director of the CIA using a cell phone at CIA headquarters?" www.spytalk.co/p/signalgate...

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously. Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

I just read this Variety hit job in which it's clear that Disney is trying to pin the failure of Snow White on Rachel Zegler. I'm confused: Did she make the studio spend $270 million on an unasked-for remake of a 90-year-old piece of IP?

The Massachusetts governor, the city, and the university needs to drop everything to locate and free this girl and make sure this doesn't happen again. This is DEFCON-1. If they do this to someone who wrote an op-ed in a college newspaper, they will do this to anyone they don't like.
