Leak of Signal Chat Poses Early Test for F.B.I. and Justice Dept. (Gift Article) 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.

100% this would prompt a DOJ investigation of violations of the Espionage Act among other possible crimes with any independent DOJ. if it doesn't happen here, it will be very revealing.

Social Security official ended program for Maine newborns because he was ‘ticked’ at Mills U.S. Rep. Chellie Pingree said the rationale given by Lee Dudek, the acting commissioner of the Social Security Administration, is 'infuriating and absurd.'

This isn't how gov't is supposed to work: The acting commissioner of Social Security admitted “I was ticked at the governor of Maine for not being real cordial to the president,” so I ended a program in Maine. www.pressherald.com/2025/03/25/s...

Gorsuch dissenting, joined by Sotomsyor, in a state secrets case.

i have yet to see a picture of kash patel where he doesn't look coked out

As usual, Donnie’s brain is playing shorthanded.

This is evil. Pure evil.

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

In his parting message @jimacosta.bsky.social said we should all post:

I will not give into the lies.
I will not give into the fear.

Done.

When are they going to be deported? Asking for a friend.

They want you overwhelmed

They want you exhausted

They want you to give up

DO NOT OBEY ✊

And Fuck That Fascist

Here is irony:

trump supporters wave the "Don't Tread on Me" flag, but embrace Trump's executive orders, similar to a king's decrees, which tread on the same freedoms the Gadsden Flag symbolizes.

Make up your damn minds:
You want freedom or fascism?

This is a great question for all of congress to think about.

Hypothetically,If FEMA goes away, what happens to home owners and other insurance rates ?

Climate change looks like it will make rates so high, home insurers will want equity in your house as a way of holding down rates

"In every state in the nation, a person convicted of forcible rape is required to register as a sex offender."

Hegseth refuses to admit to Sen. Kaine that he cheated on his wife even though it has been admitted by him on prior occasions.

Kaine then asks him about Hegseth’s oaths made to his several wives to be faithful, although Hegseth is a serial cheater.

So why do you think the FBI refused to do a thorough background check on Hegseth? They didn't interview most of his colleagues who'd spoken out, nor did they interview the women who accused him. Are they obeying in advance? Or just all in on Team Trump? I don't understand why they won't protect us.

I cannot believe we are relitigating, in the United States Senate, whether women are equal, but here we are.

Carrie Underwood has gone from singing disapprovingly about an unfaithful man to singing approvingly *to* an unfaithful man.

JUST SO EVERYONE IS CLEAR: Los Angeles is in a crisis. Mexico sends help. Canada sends help. Ukraine sends help. Americans send help. Trump sends insults. Republicans send threats. MAGA sends conspiracies. Marjorie Taylor Loca sends insanity. Who exactly loves America? Who is the enemy of the people? @PappyParki
