Hey @washingtonpost.com : why don't you mention in the headline why this is happening and that DOGE and Edolf are causing it? Instead you make it sound like the agency was already broken. Fuck you all and the Jeff Bezos you rode in on.

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.

Seems extremely obvious that the "none of it was classified" line is 100 percent about covering their asses and 0 percent about the actual dissemination of attack plans on a third-party app with an unverified distribution list. The 2025 variant of "it's not illegal if we say it wasn't illegal."

Heinrich: Who determined information on Signal was not classified. Or was there declassification after the fact. Ratcliffe: Uh. Now he's back to filibustering again.

Clear implication from this hearing: Gabbard and Ratcliffe are throwing Hegseth under the bus. Putting it on him if operational details were out in the chat. #SignalGate

Obviously, Jeffrey Goldberg has the texts that Hegseth claims that he doesn’t have. The Senate or House Armed Services Chairs can easily and quickly verify who is lying about this. If Hegseth blatant lied about this on camera tonight, how in the world can he continue in this job?

8 in 10 Americans, Democrat, Republican and Independent, favor raising taxes on the wealthy to better fund Social Security. Underfunding, closing offices, hurting Social Security, is not anything anyone wants, expect maybe Trump and Elon Musk.

I'm going to write a spy film set in Trump's America. Alerting the president that "Phoenix is missing and we do not have eyes" and he starts blinking real fast and says, "we don't know, that could maybe be good, maybe it could be very bad. But they never say good about me. On TV, they only say bad."

my most conservative-coded trait these days is that i honestly think that the worst possible thing that can happen for young men is for the entire society to coddle them. what they need to hear is that they have one life to live and they have to take responsibility for it.

Democrats play by the rules, and get held to impossible standards by the news media. Republicans burn the rule book, and have their treasonous, incompetent, criminal behavior totally normalized by the news media. We need a complete reset of this corrupt and unjust system.

Look, I know it shouldn't matter and I'm definitely being petty here, but I'm looking at Kash Patel during this hearing and his tie is ridiculously loosened, top button undone, as though he just got home from work and isn't sitting in a congressional hearing. Annoys the hell out of me.

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.

Peak MAGA would be insisting that there was no classified information on the chat and then, when Goldberg publishes the chat, prosecuting him for releasing classified information. All without blinking.
