I got my cancel in before the survey. I did say my reason for leaving was that I believe in free speech.

It’s now part of the Congressional record.

What a country, @parkerbutler.bsky.social 🇺🇸

And Beto is back!

That is lucky. I'm surrounded by them in mine and hate it. I see them still a couple times a year, but I don't give them my holidays anymore.

Van Hollen: And it's also important that people understand this case is not just about one man. It's about protecting the constitutional rights of everybody who resides in the United States of America.

This is what their target audience thinks is hilarious. It's what that target audience is cheering him and his administration on to do.

This is also what they do to piss off everyone who is not in their target audience.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

A paragraph of a declaration from CIA's Chief Data Officer, Hurley Blankenship, describing that a screenshot of what was available when CIA tried to preserve the messages, "reflects the information available at the time the screenshot was captured, which I characterized as 'residual administrative content' in my initial declaration. I used that terminology because the screenshot does not include substantive messages from the Signal chat; rather, it captures the name of the chat, "Houthi PC small group", and reflects administrative notifications from 26 March and 28 March relating to changes in participants' administrative settings in this group chat, such as profile names and message settings."

@kyledcheney.bsky.social posted this yesterday but seeing people who're unaware of it.

CIA revealed yesterday that John Ratcliffe had deleted his Signal messages.

20,000 in ruby red Utah on their feet, in community, and ready to organize for a better world.

A better world is possible.

I'm in TX and buying wine from Europe now.

Let me clarify, bc there are a lot of other facts that are important too.

These all take Trump at his claimed word, to want to combat fraud, antisemitism, and China--that's what right wingers claim they're getting w/Trump.

Only Trump has failed them all.

A company in Austin is targeting their owners. Bet business is booming.

WSJ Editorial page welcome to the resistance?

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

Palantir Is Helping DOGE With a Massive IRS Data Project For the last three days, DOGE and a handful of Palantir representatives, along with dozens of career IRS engineers, have been collaborating to build a "mega API," WIRED has learned.

Great news, everyone. A surveillance company started by Peter Thiel is part of the hackathon playing with our data at IRS.

The jail cell for contempt of court should be in El Salvador.

He’s asking for bribes.

#TrumpTariffs have now brought West Texas Intermediary (WTI) below $59/barrel.

This will crush the Texas Energy Complex. Wellheads will be capped and new CapX for Oil & Gas exploration & production will be halted.

This is going to hit the Texas economy hard in late 2025 & 2026.

My MAGA mother is from Canada, and was still a Canadian citizen when I was born. Luckily that makes me Canadian too. I've taken the 1st steps to apply for dual citizenship, and need to step up my pace.

A Stephen Miller RT of a White House tweet of the ICE 24/7 tip line. The White House @WhiteHouse ICE 24/7 TIP LINE 🇺🇸 📞866-DHS-2-ICE (866-347-2423)

For those waiting on me to describe Stephen Miller's meltdown in response to the. 4th C Abrego Garcia opinion, this has been his only tweet since then.

So he's alive, in that inimitable undead way, but not able to speak.

Maybe John Sauer told him to shut his trap.

I just meant paid compensation for attending the rally. I know why we're doing it.

He's going to listen to them telling him what to do just like he listened to the people telling him to call off the insurrectionists.

He doesn't want anyone telling him what to do.

Did Trump think if Hegseth went silent, & tariffs distracted everyone- we’d all forget his #WhiskeyLeaks

And when job reports are down and businesses are laying off workers instead of investing - what about that?
