Wall Street Journal: “Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth used Signal more extensively for official Pentagon business than previously disclosed, engaging in at least a dozen separate chats, people familiar with his management practices said.”

Just FYI

'Hello human, nice to meet you'

Here is an otter snoot to start your day.

Even *if* you accept Stephen Miller’s (textually, historically, and morally indefensible) claim that undocumented immigrants are not entitled to due process, you’d *still* need due process to ensure that the individuals at issue are, in fact, undocumented. His argument fails even on its own terms.

NEW: Hegseth had at least a DOZEN signal chats going, set up using an unsecured "dirty" line on his private phone from his Pentagon office. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

How do veterans feel about Bonespurs McTreason renaming Veteran’s Day?

subarus for the canadian market will now go there directly from japan instead of being made by american autoworkers in indiana. more trump tariff genius. www.carscoops.com/2025/04/suba...

So Cheeto says tariffs mean kids—girls?—will have to settle for two “slightly more expensive dolls” this Christmas “instead of 30.” WTFF? Whoever got 30 dolls as gifts? Ivanka? Disgustingly crass and tone deaf. Fucker has no clue how hard most parents work to give their kids a few nice things.

I'm ok with it, time for some new, progressive blood. Thanks for your service 🙏💙🇺🇲 youtu.be/ZxhQbOMquCk?...

Canadian friends, y'all, please look upon us as a warning. More people here didn't vote than voted for either candidate. Hubris or apathy, it's destroyed everything we stood for in the world. The American Century is over because people didn't vote. Don't be like America, VOTE, VOTE, VOTE 🇨🇦❤️🇺🇲

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

No, they aren't the same.

Only one of these men has a criminal conviction—and his name isn’t Kilmar Garcia!

DHS is threatening to revoke Harvard’s ability to host international students and the IRS is looking at revoking their tax exemption. The “stop the weaponization of government” crowd sure is quiet as fuck on this one.

Has Trump said a single word about this?

when he sends citizens to foreign concentration camps, it’s no longer a slide to authoritarianism—it’s full blown fascism! 😔 this is not an administration, it’s a criminal regime in a hostile takeover of 🇺🇸 democracy. #FightFascism #TraitorTrump #DefendLiberty 🔔

DOGE was never about savings. It was always about surveillance. Over the weekend, we released new details—and now whistleblowers are coming forward too. What’s becoming clearer by the day: DOGE isn’t a government efficiency program. It’s a data weapon aimed at the American people.

It may be the smallest full moon of the year, but no less fascinating.

Proud that some organizations are recognizing that these times are not normal, and bold action and accountability are needed! Thank you @apha.org! @nursesforamerica.bsky.social

Remember SignalGate? (One of Trump's superpowers is being involved in so many scandals all the time that very few of them end up having staying power beyond a news cycle or two.)

As a reminder, when Trump says he is putting massive tariffs on China, or any nation, that means he is putting a massive tax on YOU. China doesn't pay a single penny. You, the consumer, do.

Wanna scam people? Now's your chance. Open season for chiselers, con artists, hustlers, flimflammers and swindlers.

NEW: Having Gutted the IRS, DOGE is Now Preparing to Shutter the Tax Division at the Department of Justice. For the Super-Rich Paying Taxes Will Probably Be All But Voluntary Going Forward. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/doge-...

NEW: China is furious at JD Vance following the VP's crude remarks about "Chinese peasants." China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs calls Vance's comments "ignorant and impolite." Vance has once again made a massive blunder on the international stage.
