Trump officials had a second Signal chat where details of Yemen strike were shared U.S. Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth faces criticism for sharing military airstrike details in unauthorized Signal chats.

U.S. Defence Secretary #PeteHegseth had included his wife and brother in a second chat to share details of the same strike, a revelation that is now drawing fresh criticism against the Trump administration.

Murphy: Six Weeks In, This White House Is On Its Way To Being The Most Corrupt In U.S. History
YouTube video by Senator Chris Murphy Murphy: Six Weeks In, This White House Is On Its Way To Being The Most Corrupt In U.S. History

I'd like to bring this video to your attention.

It's doing pretty significant numbers for what it is, so while I understand sharing it won't make a difference for those knee-deep in the cult of personality, I'd say it has a better-than-average chance of resonating.

All I'm saying is, if you ran a campaign on democracy being at stake and democracy lost, isn't it time to be massively freaking out instead of doing this

One day he’s telling us that tariffs are amazing because they will bring lots of new jobs to the US and raise so much money we won’t have to pay income tax, then the next day he’s telling us we aren’t doing them because people were nice to him on the phone.

🚨Reminder! 🚨Republicans are behind closed doors right now trying to figure out how to cut 880 billion from medicaid. Medicaid covers 41% of births in the US millions of children, and millions of people with disabilities. Keep up the pressure! Call your electeds!

Delaying Mexican tariffs but not Canadian puts the lie to the idea that the tariffs have anything to do with fentanyl flows (since there are effectively no fentanyl flows across the northern border and there plenty across the southern border.) It was all an empty pretext anyway. This just proves it.

Don't wonder. He got more to run his freaking primary than the ZERO that any Dem gets in almost any race north of Albany. It's disgusting. Time for some changes in the party. Toss the DINO'S.

Trump backed GOP into a big corner with his β€œbalanced budget” point.

The ONLY way House GOP could even think about upholding their β€œno cuts to Medicaid” swing seat promises and their spending cut mandates is deficit spending and bad math.

Now they have to gut Medicaid & hand it to Elon in public.
