Any news organization that covered that speech and didn't mention that he is clearly suffering from dementia & often incoherently rambling has abdicated their responsibility to truth in reportage. This abdication and failure, pretending he & his cult are normal, is a large part of how we got here.

the scandal is not that goldberg was added to the chat. that's just a dumbfuck being a dumbfuck, and sure, fire Waltz. the scandal is that a national security conversation is on a cellphone groupchat. and since no one commented on it, presumably it's a regular occurrence.

I'm so very sorry. 💔
Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.
More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.
I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

Ukrainian troops fought with the United States in both Iraq and Afghanistan. They answered our call for assistance and stayed, by our side, for years. Are we so lost as a nation that we turn our back on allies? 🇺🇸 🇺🇦

After Trump & Vance’s utterly disgraceful performance it’s good to see European leaders step up. It’s profoundly American to criticize our leaders when they stray from democratic principles let alone what we are seeing in Trump’s administration. As a proud American I intend to fight for our country.

This is 100% correct.
It’s a coup. It’s a strategic alliance with Putin. It’s the end of the post-war international order. It’s the triumph of lies over truth and in Putin’s case, evil over good. We are through the looking glass & we all now have to decide who we are & what we stand for

NTSB giving exclusive information only to a private social network (owned by a billionaire donor to the president) while the DoD boots news outlets out of the Pentagon in favor of right-wing aligned ones is government censorship of the press and suppression of free speech.

This is fucking illegal, all of it. Trump can't decide by EO to create a new federal agency that's not accountable to Congress. Musl and everyone helping him right now is committing a crime every second they're in these government offices, touching government property, and accessing government info.
