Last week was great. This week should be even better. We’ll be reuniting our tank with the Marine who drove it on Iwo Jima this Friday!

Disgraceful that he’a scratched Perrault and put Othmann on the 4th line.

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: It has come to my attention that several agencies are now offering WiFi for you to use with your PERSONAL devices. If I were you, I would NOT use that WiFi. I suspect it's a way for DOGE to monitor your personal communications.

The last day on which a majority of the Supreme Court’s justices had been appointed by Democratic presidents was May 14, 1969.

One of the things we do in the legal academy is support our claims with facts.

Signal Chat Disclosure Poses Early Test for F.B.I. and Justice Dept. Whether the agencies open an investigation will bring into sharp relief the intended approach of their leaders, Kash Patel and Pam Bondi, who promised to administer impartial justice.

18 USC 793(f) makes it a crime to remove national defense information from its proper place through gross negligence. Doesn’t matter whether info was classified. Signal chat is not a proper place.

Why aren’t we referring to them as “Regressives”? @maddow.msnbc.com we need to start spreading this.

the Signal fiasco is a good reminder that while these people are destructive, and cruel, and bigoted, and petty

they are also really, really stupid

What you have to understand about Pete Hegseth copying and pasting war plans into Signal is that it almost certainly means he’s got classified documents on his personal UNSECURE devices. Signal isn't on a secure device...are our war plans on his personal devices? @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social

Fuck Ta-nehisi Coates. This is an incredibly ignorant statement on half a dozen levels.

As a professor of English, allow me to try, humbly and with the proper respect, to offer an appropriate response to the President’s address:

Fuck you, you fucked-up fuck, and fuck all the fuckers who willingly fuck with you, especially. You can all fuck all the way off, and then fuck off some more.
