BREAKING: People are being suspended on X in Turkey for posting videos of these protests against Erdoğan’s corrupt and repressive regime. Keep sharing everywhere.

Donald Trump to impose 25% tariff on US auto imports https://www.ft.com/content/5c1d34be-301d-4342-9272-e2296d37572c

"All of those terms sound like real stretches as applied here and there's a whole section of the opinion where the court sort of dissects those meticulously."

“Any administration that claims to value making its citizens healthy and protecting them from preventable harm should embrace vaccine hesitancy studies, not ban them.” www.thebulwark.com/p/nih-moves-...

“Whoever, being entrusted with… control of any… information, relating to the national defense, through gross negligence permits the same to be… delivered to anyone in violation of his trust… shall be fined… or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both.” www.justsecurity.org/109540/signa...

"It is outrageous and it is a leadership failure and that’s why Secretary Hegseth, who undoubtedly transmitted classified sensitive operational information via this chain, must resign immediately."

Just going to repost my essay "Decapitation Strike" from November. We are living through it now. snyder.substack.com/p/decapitati...

“IF YOU HAD ANY DOUBT THAT THE Trump administration and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are going after vaccines, a confidential internal document should put those questions to rest. A March 25 memo from the National Institutes of Health…” www.thebulwark.com/p/nih-moves-...

Breaking news: The US will impose tariffs of 25% on foreign-made auto imports, Donald Trump has said, as the president announced a significant escalation in his trade war with America’s allies. www.ft.com/content/5c1d...

"Lies, Incompetence & National Security": Kudos to Jeffrey Goldberg's excellent work at The Atlantic in exposing this appalling breach. Pete Hegseth should resign--and this whole dangerous act of incompetence should not be covered up with lies and aggression. www.americaamerica.news/p/lies-incom...

It gets worse. This Signal situation is just the tip of the iceberg of incompetence in this administration.

Imagine being in Moscow and reading highly classified messages over a commercial app that US forces are about to strike Yemen. Even without an authorized person in this chat, that alone rises all red flags. The line between sloppiness and malice is quite thin. Absolutely mind blowing.

#ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited Just so we are all on the same page, Hegseth is no different. #ArrestHegseth 👇👇👇

"This is a scandal of historic proportions. But will enough people understand and care?"

Exactly, Stephen.

The IRS could collect $500 billion LESS in tax revenue this year due to DOGE cuts to the agency. A big chunk of that will come from the rich underpaying their taxes. Meanwhile, only $7.7 billion of DOGE "savings" can actually be verified. So much for efficiency. fortune.com/2025/03/24/i...

The Trump administration is trying to find foreign eggs to lower prices, then immediately tax them to raise prices. www.progressivepolicy.org/the-trump-ad...

In 2023, 13.5% of Americans struggled to buy food at some point — the highest rate in nearly a decade. How is the Trump regime addressing this crisis? By cutting $1 billion from federal programs that support food banks across the country. The cruelty is the point.

“Closing down Voice of America would be an incalculable self-inflicted wound for America and deprive the U.S. of a priceless asset."

"They put him on this text line!"

The United States Agency for Global Media “cannot, with one sentence of reasoning offering virtually no explanation, force RFE/RL to shut down—even if the President has told them to do so.”

NEW: Did innocuous tattoos of hummingbirds and palm trees lead the Trump admin to believe the men they disappeared were gang members? “If they notice they have a tattoo, they’re just taking them into custody," one lawyer said. Read @isabelaalhadeff.bsky.social and @nlanard.bsky.social:

“The wealthiest universities must pledge to use all available endowment funds as a backstop for federal funding cuts to research, educational programs or student financial aid at schools, barring donor restrictions. Endowments could even fund legal defense.” www.nytimes.com/2025/03/25/o...

US Sen. Mark Warner, the top Dem on the Senate Intelligence Committee, stated: “When the stakes are this high, incompetence is not an option … Pete Hegseth should resign. Mike Waltz should resign.” I’m with Senator Mark Warner, are you?!

CBO estimates that if the debt limit remains unchanged, the government’s ability to borrow using established "extraordinary measures" will probably be exhausted in August or September 2025. www.cbo.gov/publication/...

I wrote on the Signal leak. The White House, DNI, DCIA, DOD & NSA all deny that the group chat included classified information. DNI said that under oath to Congress. On the basis of the evidence available so far, I struggle to see how that could be true. www.economist.com/united-state...

Taxpayers shouldn't have to foot the bill for DOGE's decision to cut the federal workforce by abruptly removing employees and placing them on paid leave while they sort out terminations later. That's not efficiency.

Just the CIA Director revealing the names of undercover operatives in a compromised group chat on an unsecured messaging app in violation of federal law. WTAF? JEFFREY GOLDBERG: “I withheld her name…because she's undercover. But, the CIA Director put it into the chat." (🎥 @bluegeorgia.bsky.social)

Pete Hegseth is a f*cking liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that could’ve gotten our pilots killed. He needs to resign in disgrace immediately.

DOGE isn't just cutting vital government services. Each federal job loss could also result in the loss of at least one additional worker in the private sector. Working people having less money in their pockets to spend stifles local economies. What’s “efficient” about that?

How can you be on the wrong side of history when history is repeating? You’re failing an open-book test. wapo.st/4kU9ESq

Whoa. "Now the debate among national security professionals is over whether the secretary was just incompetent or whether he was drunk. That’s how low this has gone. - Seth Moulton, not pulling any punches

Ever check on the news and immediately regret it? I thought it would be bad. I never thought it would be this bad this fast.

#Gverse LMAO!!! at this exchange with Democratic House Reps Jamie Raskin and Jared Moskowitz.
