Negligently disclosing national defense information is illegal β€” and it doesn't have to be classified The Espionage Act, the law that often has been used in criminal cases involving leaks or mishandling of classified information, contains a provision making it

NBC News: The Espionage Act contains a provision making it crime to disclose national defense secrets "through gross negligence."
Β 
The law does not require info be classified, because it was written before the classification system existed.Β The law refers simply to "national defense information."

No matter where you stand on the β€œSchumer needs to step down” debate, you need to see this.

A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill.

Do not let anyone play games with you.

@schumer.senate.gov If you vote for cloture you are a stain on this country’s history that will never go away. You are willingly passing power to a tyrant in waiting, and you are a disgrace to every oath of office any senator has ever sworn. Your legacy will be one of cowardice and contempt.

Morning update: NO on cloture. NO on the CR. We’re fighting this bad bill that cuts Americans a terrible deal with everything we’ve got.

Carville: USAID spent $41 billion the federal budget is 6 trillion. Actually comes to something like .014%. So take that and put it against the 6 trillion and see what you have done when your president is responsible for more federal debt than any president in the history of the United States.

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :)

Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

Hey, @msnbc.com. Why do you allow your readers to share articles on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and most other major platforms β€” but NOT Bluesky? Asking for nearly 32 million users.

Donald Trump's week so far:

Gets told off by a 4 year-old in the Oval Office by the son of the guy who was nice enough to let him sit in his chair

Ignores court orders teeing up a Constitutional crisis

Lets food and medicine across the world spoil

This Cybertruck did not crash. It made a heartfelt and perhaps ill-advised gesture that, in the moment, might have been misinterpreted as a crash, but we should not rush to judgement.

Kash Patel Believes the FBI Planned Jan. 6th His embrace of this wild conspiracy theory should disqualify him from leading the bureau.

Kash has repeatedly & baselessly suggested that the FBI instigated the Jan 6th attack

That’s disqualifying

Recently took a peek at Twitter and the disinformation is getting substantially more dangerous. Someone could get killed.

The tactics of constantly repeating outright lies, targeting specific people, repurposing years-old footage and presenting them as new is getting to another level. It’s scary.

Congratulations to Mike Johnson for trying to pressure the House Ethics Committee into burying a report that found the then-nominee for attorney general had engaged in sexual activity with a minor.

Party of Family Values, am I right?
