It is unethical to record what someone says in a public setting? Good to know.

Is this parity? They used audio recorded in PUBLIC against someone's will? Not in private but in PUBLIC?

CNN: Trump v Musk
MSNBC: Trump v Musk
Local News: Trump v Musk
Random guy at Target: Trump v Musk
Literally everyone in my text messages: Trump v Musk
Fox: is a zebra a horse?

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

#SCOTUS reviewing the transcript of the absolute dumpster-fire of a hearing that just took place in the Abrego Garcia case:

Federal spending is *up* under Trump according to the Wall Street Journal. Chaos is not actually the same as cost savings.

Actual budgeting is a kind of actual policy-making and takes real work spread over real time. Running around breaking stuff isn't that.

Sure, Kamala Harris would have have preserved our global power and domestic prosperity. But she would have done so as a Black woman.

by Pete Hegseth and Stephen Miller

BREAKING: Judge McFadden has *granted * the AP’s injunction against the White House’s ban on access to the Oval Office and East Room.

Judge Wilkinson, a Reagan appointee, says the Trump administration's position on Abrego Garcia amounts to a "path of perfect lawlessness." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

At this rate MAGA will only be able to afford to rent the libs.

Just incredible. Hassett never said the 90-day pause thing. The upward move in the market this morning appears to have been entirely driven by fake news started on Twitter/X

Uh Kagan wrote a dissent. Jackson wrote a dissent that Sotomayor joined.

The Lithuanian president showed up to honor dead American soldiers as their remains departed his country.

The American president did not show up to receive their remains as they arrived in the US.

He had a golf tournament to get to.

Apropos of nothing: Kamala Harris predicted this exact moment happening:

“Understand that part of Trump’s plan is to put in place a national sales tax of at least 20% on everyday goods and necessities.”

She warned us over & over again & she was so right.

So this is going well.

President Trump making sure we party like its 1899 with measles and tariffs.

Tweet from Jennifer Jacobs: "Scoop: Elise Stefanik's nomination for UN ambassador is in jeopardy as pressure mounts for her to back away from the UN ambassador position, partly because Republicans hold a small majority in the US House. There are discussions being held this morning about whether she should pull her nomination as soon as today, sources told @gabrielle_ake and me. @CBSNews"

the headline here is that Republicans are worried about having a special election in a seat that Trump won 60-40

Ah yes, noted legal and national security expert, Scott Jennings

The arrogance, hubris, and stupidity of thinking that The Atlantic wouldn’t just publish the full thread if they tried to deny what was in it…

And the responsibility the Senate bears for confirming these yutzes to such important national security positions in the first place…

If they’re sharing highly classified military plans over Signal while some of the folks on the thread are overseas, what *else* are they doing?

BENNET: Did you know that the president's Middle East adviser was in Moscow on this thread while you were as director of the CIA participating in this thread? Were you aware of that?!

RATCLIFFE: I'm not aware of that

BENNET: It's am embarrassment

The NSC spokesman admitted it was authentic moron.

Here's a quick summary of DOJ's position in the AEA case: 1) We're not going to tell you who we've detained, 2) we're not going to tell you where they are detained, 3) we're not going to tell you why they're detained, 4) you should've filed habeas wherever they are, 5) whoops they're gone, too late.

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):

At best, morons are running things.

UNREAL: DOJ's response to a federal appeals court judge saying that DOJ's argument would mean she could have been picked up and sent to a prison in El Salvador under Trump's order was not: "No, your honor," but rather, "That's not the record here."

18 U.S.C. § 793(f) makes it a federal crime to for people entrusted with information related to the national defense to, with gross negligence, disclose it to others in violation of that trust.

It is. He does not have jurisdiction over them anymore. If he did and they were still here I would agree he should move faster. But they aren’t and he doesn’t so now it’s about determining contempt/sanctions if any.
