Casar: One of the most important things I learned is how so many of the most right-wing elected officials break things, do not want services to work, and then campaign on them being broken in order to gain political power.

So, serious question, how would we know whether Trump is using Signal or not and if he is then he is certainly in violation of laws for preserving Presidential records. The “leak” illustrates that in part that this administration is willing to conduct their activities on ethereal documents.

In earlier eras there were plans for mass protests if the administration crossed a line--for example when the bombing of Iraq began 22 years ago this month. We need something like that for the threatened invasions, though I have to admit this admin crosses 99 lines a day.
