Spending tens of millions of dollars on a Wisconsin Supreme Court judge that didnโ€™t win seems an awful lot like waste, fraud, and abuse to me.

The men disappeared to El Salvador because of their tattoos The Trump administration sent Venezuelans to El Salvadorโ€™s most infamous prison. Their families are looking for answers.

This is a fantastic piece of rigorous, in-depth reporting. It will make you want to pass out with rage. But definitely read it.

trump has never seen a financial downturn he doesn't like, profiting off of people's pain. He and Musk plan to break Social Security, gut it, and pocket the cash.

While Trump officials claimed the information wasn't classified, experts warned that the unsecured messages could have put US personnel at risk if the details were exposed to enemies.

Officials like the Vice President and CIA Director participated in the chat, and messages included personal comments about the attack's progress.

The Trump administration accidentally shared sensitive war plans about a strike on Yemen through a Signal chat, which was unintentionally joined by The Atlantic's editor. The chat included real-time updates about the operation, like the timing of airstrikes and details about the targets.

RFK Jr. just slashed 10,000 public health jobs in the middle of a measles outbreak. He calls it โ€œrealignment.โ€ I call it sabotage. The new โ€˜Healthy Againโ€™ agenda is gutting science and betting on vitamins over vaccines. This wonโ€™t end in healthโ€”itโ€™ll end in crisis.

We're 4 days into Signalgate and Trump clearly doesn't even know what Signal is.

Who is running the White House?

Theyโ€™re not going to get out of this by playing semantics.

Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.

This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother.

Musk and Trump have contributed to a rise in death threats and intimidation against judges. In Charleston, S.C., police were dispatched to the home of one of Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrettโ€™s sisters after a threat claimed a pipe bomb had been placed in her mailbox.

Top intelligence committees need to begin an investigation into Pete Hegseth's epic Signal chat mishap. ASAP.

There should be televised hearings so all Americans have transparency on how such an enormous breach of national security could take place in first place.

This administration is incompetent and endangering our troops. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared war plans in an encrypted chatโ€”including a journalistโ€”two hours before strikes on the Houthis in Yemen, the White House confirmed.
