“This is clearly routine in the Trump administration. How many of Trump’s convos w foreign leaders are happening on these apps? It’s the obvious place for bribes, criminal conduct, asking foreign governments to do dirty jobs, maybe against American citizens, that Trump doesn’t dare try himself.”

Such high-level incompetence is impressive. Fire Waltz & Hegseth. -- If read by a US adversary the info could have been used to harm American military & intelligence personnel. To illustrate the shocking recklessness is the Hegseth post contained operational details of forthcoming strikes on Yemen.

I mean very obviously Hegseth should resign, and if it were a Democratic administration this would be quickly be a consensus position.

Libraries are sources of knowledge and community support. They provide vital resources for the unemployed and low-income students. Therefore, they are targets for fascists who are attempting to dumb down society in order to keep us under their thumbs. Call your reps and fight for libraries!

Important. Either Trump is so far gone mentally he doesn’t know what he’s doing, or people are acting in his name without his knowledge. This was an order with enormous implications, and the President of the United States says he didn’t do it.

This is what I don't get about Trump's henchmen -- there are no rewards. Look at his buddies from Term1 who are against him now after he threw them under the bus. For those who are clearly in it for selfish reasons, there is no winning. The world will burn, and they will be kindling.

INCREDIBLE Ruling! Judge Reyes just ruled that transgender people have served honorably in the military, judges Trumps trans military ban - which states trans people are inherently dishonorable - as unconstitutional and motivated by animus. Trans military members may continue to serve.
