the speed at which these guys have broken everything has given a lot of folks who should know better the impression that they are an unstoppable force and the only option is to negotiate the terms of surrender just because the clown car goes very fast does not mean it isn’t full of clowns

I'm listening to this featuring @davidfrenchjag.bsky.social, a military veteran discussing the worst part of Pete Hegseth’s group chat debacle and why the careless secretary of defense should resign. Now. I made this a "gift article" so you can all listen. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/25/o...

1. Tulsi Gabbard was overseas while participating in the Signal chat. 2. Steven Witkoff was in Russia when he was added to the Signal chat. 3. Russia infiltrated Signal some time ago to use it against Ukrainians. It’s high time to Benghazi the shit out of Trump’s administration.

I'm no constitutional scholar, but I feel like the head of the executive branch signing an executive order about how the states will run their own elections... ...is roughly like when that kid running for high school class president promised he would make the lunch room serve unlimited tacos.

You know it’s not going well when your Director of National Intelligence claims she does not know if she was part of the signal chat and literally a few moments later the Director of the CIA, sitting right beside her, confirms that she was. It’s a bad day to be Tulsi Gabbard.😎 🍿

Here's the things. You can't install Signal on federal devices. Ergo, this entire chat was being carried out on PRIVATE phones. So not only does the APP not have the proper security, the DEVICES don't either.

According to a source I have at the CIA, Director Radcliffe lied today under oath. Signal is absolutely not loaded on agency computers. As a matter of fact it’s specifically prohibited as an outside app. Skype is allowed for conference calls but not Signal. He’s lying. @markwarner.bsky.social

Death threats against judges are rising — and instead of dialing it back, the GOP is doubling down. Even after Chief Justice John Roberts called the push for impeachment “not appropriate,” Republicans are pressing ahead. Just this week, House Republicans moved to impeach six federal judges.

Top intelligence committees need to begin an investigation into Pete Hegseth's epic Signal chat mishap. ASAP. There should be televised hearings so all Americans have transparency on how such an enormous breach of national security could take place in first place.

How many Signal chats with sensitive information about military operations are ongoing within the Pentagon right now? Where else are war plans being shared with such abject disregard for our national security? We need answers. Right now.

This is a concentration camp. There is a concentration camp in my county. The administration is in the process of deputizing & converting state & local “correctional” facilities into concentration camps as well. The presence of concentration camps speaks largely about a society’s barbarity.

I’m old enough to remember when Secretary Hegseth tried to publicly mock Judge Reyes—suggesting that she didn’t know what she was doing when it comes to protecting our national security. It was … two days ago.

Jeffrey Goldberg and Pete Hegseth. One takes DOD protocols seriously: Goldberg: —Did not disclose sensitive information; and —Left the chat when clear he was on chain (errantly) w/classified plans We’ve asked Pee Wee amateurs to play in big leagues. Expect (a lot) more unforced errors.

Goldberg said the level of detail in the targeting package that he received via Signal was down to the names of individuals to be killed. That’s the good stuff that includes all kinds of sources and methods and never should have been outside a SCIF. I’d be in prison if I fucked up that bad.

I'm no lawyer, but it seems like discussing war plans in Signal outside a SCIF is maybe just a little bit worse than using a private server to send emails that weren't even marked as classified. But what do I know.

Claims of massive fraud by Elon Musk and President Donald Trump are at odds with reams of audits and reports on the Social Security Administration’s spending. But some of the biggest examples of allegedly wasteful spending held up by Musk and DOGE so far have been overblown or inaccurate.
