Trump: "I haven't used the word 'groceries.' It's like an old fashioned word. But really it's not. And people understand it. And I campaigned very hard on groceries."

He drinks a whiskey drink He drinks a vodka drink He drinks a lager drink He drinks a cider drink He sends a text that remind him of the war plans He sends a text that reminds him of the war crimes #Hegseth

This chyron is the ultimate hotdogman.gif meme

The most obvious lesson to draw from the leaked Signal chat is that these people really are morons. It's not a public act, it's not a schtick, there's not some secret back room where they drop the facade. They are genuinely stupid, incompetent people.

Also big shoutout to all the cis women who kept quiet about the human rights violations their colleagues were enduring because they didn't think it was relevant to them. Congrats! Now you're all getting sex tested. news.sky.com/story/bluesk...

The moment in the movie where Lindsay Lohan realizes she swapped bodies with the FBI director

hamdan ballal is alive. from his ‘no other land’ co-director basel adra:

The acting commissioner of the Social Security Administration admits he retaliated against the entire population of Maine—mostly newborn babies and their parents—because he thought the state’s governor had been rude to Trump in a White House meeting. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/24/u...

This is apparently the best the official DOD “rapid response” account can do in response to the Houthi PC Small Group story.

Jeffrey Goldberg thinking he was being pranked and then realizing he was actually just in the war plans group chat is such a good microcosm of how it feels to be alive right now, everything seems fake until you realize it’s actually real and incredibly stupid

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.

Damn, sounds like they suck, sowhy did you text them our official war plans?

I hold the controversial view that Republicans are not as concerned about protecting classified information as they claimed a decade ago. Gift link: wapo.st/4c2yQCj

"IRS Predicts DOGE Lost Half a Trillion Dollars for the USA" "in about eight weeks DOGE managed to lose the U.S. government — more or less light on fire — more than half of what goes to all non-defense discretionary spending..." talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/irs-p...

Adding a journalist to a top secret government group chat about dropping bombs *IS* the kind of thing people who aren’t super politically literate can understand and find shocking/notable/disqualifying. Dems should seize on this and never ever let it go. I hope to hear about it in a decade

Honestly, put the hood back on this one.

One thing that most people are missing in the group text scandal: The Trump officials don’t appear clear on what *exactly* Trump approved, which is a huge problem in using military force. Stephen Miller says “as I heard it … green light.” 😱😬 www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/six-short-...

Is Bondi going to prosecute this guy federally as a domestic terrorist?

The NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER added the EDITOR OF THE ATLANTIC to a PRINCIPALS COMMITTEE TEXT CHAIN set up for the DEFENSE SECRETARY about PLANNED MILITARY STRIKES. Here's a thread of involved parties talking about the need for secure communications (when Dems are involved):

incredible stuff

Trump says he's not going to cut Social Security. Really?   Let's add up all the ways Trump is undermining Social Security, the most successful government program in history, in order to hand it over to his billionaire friends on Wall Street.   A thread:

"A government contractor and lobbyist who served in President Donald Trump’s first administration bought Vice President JD Vance’s Virginia home in an above-market deal, a sale his spokesperson says was based on the market." $170,000 ABOVE ASKING PRICE

"Tiger Woods is dating Donald Trump Jr.'s ex-wife, who kept Trump as her last name," I say. Forty-thousand bees descend on me instantly, killing me in seconds. That was the magic sentence, it turns out. The relief is immense.
