It does feel like every spin from the White House is trying to limit the discussion to how the reporter got in the text chain, to avoid the issue of why any of this was happening on a text chain in the first place. And so far a lot of the coverage is just going with that.

Whiskileaks — pass it on www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

Please keep talking. It just makes the investigative inquiry easier to flesh out.

The Times has to issue a correction here. An Executive order can’t “require” any such thing. Calling it ‘an aggressive push to catch” fraud is bad editorial judgment. The first part is demonstrably false. Those who have any voice to the Times need to demand this. Might as well say pigs fly.

Let’s get this straight. Musk called Social Security the biggest Ponzi Scheme of all time. Now, he wants to end phone services for those who need help with their benefits. Meaning they will turn to field offices. But he wants to close many of those, too. This is insane.

After listening to the Senate hearing today and the comments from Trump and his cabinet members, it appears we are heading into another instance in American history where we will ultimately find out that the coverup underway right now is even worse than the original crime.

An executive order is a wish your heart makes when you're president.

"When a judge stops a president from doing something illegal, that is NOT a "threat to democracy," that is democracy working"

I get why republicans are shifting blame to Hegseth. But... JD Vance was the top official on the call. JD Vance is not the POTUS and presidential immunity does not apply to the office he holds. JD Vance is where the buck stops on this one!

Opinion: "Disdain for Europe in US Signal chat horrifies EU", writes Katya Adler at @bbcnews-world-rss.bsky.social www.bbc.com/news/article...

Sen. Warner: "Yesterdays story in the Atlantic was not this rookie one off...Earlier when a non-classified network was used, thereby exposing literally hundreds of CIA officers identities, those folks can't go into the field now. How does that make our government more efficient?"

Part of why elections in the US are so secure is because they’re run by 10,000 local jurisdictions like mine. Trying to rig an election is like trying to rob every bank in America at the same time To rig American elections, you need to federalize them. The President’s new EO is doing just that.

Tracy Flick be lying

He sure was👏🏽

Republican presidential administrations did both

More PR from the Trump administration’s media factotum, @foxnewscorporation.bsky.social, when they are done trying to explain away how the incompetent Signal debacle is not incompetence www.axios.com/2025/03/25/e...

Witkoff was in Russia on the phone, waiting for Putin. Clearly, Putin has everything on that phone. So who will bribe who? At this point, seems to me like Goldberg putting the texts out now, would be getting ahead of it.

The National Security Advisor is an incompetent liar, and the Secretary of Defense is a drunk incompetent liar.

Excerpts of a Signal chat published by The Atlantic provide a rare and revealing look at the private conversations of top Trump administration officials as they weighed plans for U.S. strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen. Here are some excerpts from the chat.

This is Yale Professor Timothy Snyder, who studies authoritarians and tyranny, with a warning. He and another Yale professor, Jason Stanley, who studies similar topics at Yale, are moving to Canadian universities, a result of the political and academic climate here.

Senator Jon Ossoff calls for the resignations of National Security Advisor Mike Waltz and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth over the Signal group chat scandal.

This is what happens when you have an entire cabinet full of folks who would NEVER pass a regular security clearance. Led by a president who would never be able to pass one either.

This is the biggest news of the last 24 hours—not the Signal Scandal. Trump watchers have long said that early in his presidency he would begin a push to utterly destroy the U.S. voting system and disenfranchise millions and millions of voters. Here we go.

so Trump definitely thinks this was just a conference call right?

they’re running out of things to get from trump

very helpful to democrats that one of the most unpopular people in american politics is front in center in the administration, allowing them to make the very easy case that you should vote for democrats to check elon musk.

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

HOLY SHIT, DEMS FLIPPED A PENNSYLVANIA DISTRICT TONIGHT THAT THE GOP HELD FOR 46 YEARS!!!!! WELL DONE, JAMES MALONE! SUCK IT, MAGA BITCHES!!!!!!!!!!🖕🖕

Let them eat🎂

Oh man! "Maybe this is exactly what the end conclusion of dismantling education and American democracy is, because this is ridiculous." I love Rep. Melanie Stansbury. This is magnificent. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Mike Johnson is now floating eliminating federal courts: "We do have the authority over the federal courts, as you know. We can eliminate an entire district court. We have power of funding over the courts and all these other things."

BENNET: Don't insult the intelligence of the American people. Did Goldberg invite himself to the Signal thread? RATCLIFFE: I don't know how he was invited. I've seen conflicting reports. B: You're the CIA director! Why didn't you call out that he was present... this is just a normal day at the CIA

A smartphone is not the Situation Room

Not fit!

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

BREAKING: The trump administrations response to Boasberg's show cause order has hit the docket with fewer than two hours to spare 1/ storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

It’s I guess interesting to me that Hegseth, Gabbard, Waltz et al. don’t seem to grasp that members of the military know exactly how dangerous the Signal chat was. From what I hear the rank and file also are keenly aware that they would be court-martialed or even jailed for the same behavior.

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Please stop using ChatGPT in general, but also, please, please stop using it and then taking what it says to you as fact. It's usually wrong! It doesn't fact check itself. It just creates approximations of information based on other text! It's basically magnetic poetry that sets the world ablaze.

According to Wikipedia, @Signal founder Moxie Marlinspike has been detained and questioned by ICE/is subject to secondary screening at airports. The US government wanted to pry into his secrets. Now it's sharing its own on the app he founded. Can't make this stuff up.

If Trump can disappear green card holders for protesting war, he can disappear you. If he can disappear visa holders for criticizing him, he can disappear you. If he can disappear asylum seekers for tattoos, he can disappear you. We must speak out now — before there is no one left to speak out.

Another disturbing thing I’m going to have to sit with is that the Vice President and Sec of State and Defense discuss killing people in the same noncommittal way my friends and I talk about where we want to go out after dinner

We've reached the "I don't recall" stage of Trump's collapse

it's getting sassy

“Moments ago, Donald Trump signed a massive voter suppression executive order,” Elias wrote on Bluesky, “This will not stand. We will sue.” www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The government still hasn't filed its response to Judge Boasberg's order to show cause. They've got three hours left. Guess they're leaving it to the wire.
