Remind me, do they still arrest people for breaking the law in Wisconsin?

First off, Pete Hegseth is a disgrace and should be fired.

Second, instead of being an asshole and trash-talking the journalist, he should be thanking him for not posting anything top-secret that’s still to come.

What you have to understand about Pete Hegseth copying and pasting war plans into Signal is that it almost certainly means he’s got classified documents on his personal UNSECURE devices. Signal isn't on a secure device...are our war plans on his personal devices? @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social

Every single Democratic lawmaker should be calling for Hegseth's immediate resignation right now. Not just some. Not just a few dozen. Every single one, starting at the top with Mr. Schumer and Mr. Jeffries. And the fact that it hasn't happened yet is nearly as shocking as Hegseth's conduct.

Hurricane Elon: DOGE cuts could cause meteorologists to miss the next ‘nightmare’ storm | The Invading Sea The firings of hundreds of NOAA and NWS employees put American lives and the American economy in danger.

I found a ‘dead’ person collecting Social Security in Seattle “Dead” Ned Johnson turns out to be very much alive. It took him weeks to convince the system he was breathing and to start clawing his benefits back.

The richest man in the world took over $5K out of this guy's bank account, claiming he was dead. The richest man in the world said he was saving money.

He was not dead.

@schumer.senate.gov can’t even articulate his reason for betraying every House Dem and all the Senators holding firm. If you can’t communicate in this environment, you can’t lead.

Rick Scott has long been vigilant when it comes to people breaking federal laws.

Just search for "Rick Scott Medicare fraud" and you'll read an amazing story about a master criminal.

Do you know why nobody in the US has died from measles since 2015? It is singularly because of vaccines. Not nutrition. Not hygiene. Vaccines.

Pete Hegseth on FOX NEWS with headline chyron that reads: Tracking Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine.

Secretary of Defense Hegseth says he doesn’t know if Russia invaded Ukraine.

This you?

My heart is heavy with this news. Like so many, I have always admired and respected Senator Geraldine Thompson as a powerful and brave advocate for our community. She was a trailblazer, history maker, and impactful voice for justice. Sending so much love to her family during this difficult time.

In addition to being brave and the right thing to do, Sassoon’s letter points out that the Emperor has no clothes — it demolishes the utterly fatuous, transparently corrupt excuses for dismissing the Adams case.

Holy Shit. They're burning through people pretty fast now. After Sassoon refused/resigned, the next two people - heads of Public Integrity Section (DC) and the Criminal Division also refused/resigned. This all JUST happened. And these are all 'actings', so they're people the Trump crew chose.

I added it to my watchlist!

Musk says DOGE will make ‘rapid safety upgrades’ to air traffic control system Tech billionaire Elon Musk on Wednesday said the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) will make “rapid safety upgrades” to the air traffic control systems with the Federal Aviatio…

Makes cars that drive themselves into semis.
Makes cars that self-immolate while ALSO locking drivers and passengers inside.
Makes rockets that explode and fall out of the sky.

I will not be flying for the foreseeable future.

I'll add that NOAA tracks water levels, which is essential data for shipping. So when container ships start to run aground or collide into bridges on a regular basis, blame Trump and Musk.

I think Americans, blessed with relatively stable government for a long time, assume there is someone, some adult, who will step in and make things right before the President does anything REALLY bad.

There’s not.

How is there not a single Democrat Senator or Representative who has stepped up over an entire weekend where Elon Musk is clearly unwinding American democracy inside US govt buildings???

REPORTER: Is there an acting FAA director?

DUFFY: *walks away*


(The FAA director resigned on the day of Trump's inauguration under pressure from Elon Musk)

good thing the transportation secretary's main qualification is he was on the real world in the 90s on the night of a plane crash

The head of the FAA, Mike Whitaker, resigned on January 20 — one year into his 5 year term — after facing relentless criticism from Musk for not approving SpaceX missions quickly enough.

The Senate confirmed him unanimously in 2023.

No acting FAA head has been appointed.

Jim Acosta announces on air that he's leaving CNN and says, "it is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant ... don't give in to the lies."

FYI to Dems, the reason some of us vote-blue people are foaming at the mouth at you is because, apart from a tiny handful of non-leadership, you're flatfooted on all of this, voting to confirm jackasses, not bothering to grab low-hanging fruit, and begging for more time. No more excuses. Do better.

Since taking office a week ago, the "No new wars" president has threatened Canada, Denmark, Greenland, Mexico, and Colombia, approved Israel's use of the 2,000 lb bombs Biden refused, and cut off all other foreign aid. Egg prices up.
