BREAKING | Comptroller Brad Lander arrested at ICE court hearing | amNewYork City Comptroller Brad Lander was arrested and accosted by masked federal agents at immigration court in Lower Manhattan.

Trump does not want a peacefully prosperous nation. He is trying to provoke, antagonize and incite. Do not ignore this act of tyranny. www.amny.com/news/brad-la...

Trumpโ€™s tariff proposal is the largest tax increase in American history.

Interesting how Trump is slapping tariffs on countless allies but gives a completely free pass to Russia. Yet another sign of this administrationโ€™s endless fealty to Putinโ€ฆ and this time, itโ€™s raising your prices in the process.

Washington Post: Waltz and staff used Gmail for government communications, officials say

Politico:

Itโ€™s a more extensive use of the app than previously reported and sheds new light on how commonly the Trump administrationโ€™s national security team relies on Signal.

Shockingly, Mike Waltz' investigation of himself turned up none of this. Amazing how that works!

This scandal is corrupt as hell. Waltz and top officials like Hegseth and Gabbard involved in this egregious breach of security must go, and we need a special counsel to investigate.

๐Ÿšจ NEW via POLITICO: Waltzโ€™s team set up at least 20 Signal group chats for crises across the world

Mike Waltzโ€™s team used at least 20 Signal chats to coordinate official work on Ukraine, China, Gaza, and moreโ€”often discussing sensitive info.

This goes way beyond what was previously known.

This Administration mass fired tens of thousands of federal workers for no reason on made-up pretexts.

Now Trump's people are engaging in a coverup, blatantly lying to evade accountability.

These people screwed up in ways that put our troops at risk and they should be fired.

Advance strike times are sensitive and classified because they put American military directly at risk.

The Secretary of Defense was blasting them out to unknown numbers over unclassified channels.

Itโ€™s sloppy, careless, and dangerous. He should resign.

Beyer Statement On Trumpโ€™s Illegal Assault On The Department Of Education

Trump wants to get teachers fired, hurt schools, make students go hungry, and make college less affordable, all to make billionaires a little richer.

His attack on the Department of Education is illegal and the courts should put a swift halt to this nonsense.

Heads must roll. This is one of the dumbest security breaches in history, and it suggests a larger pattern of potentially criminal behavior that puts Americans at risk.

Gabbard answered many questions about topics that are "under review." She obviously refused to answer questions that would have led to damaging or embarrassing admissions, including here:
