If you are running a TV news show, like 60 Minutes, and the Trump administration is trying to censor your inconvenient content, the courageous thing to do is not to quit, it is to say, "Fuck you."

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

Wow. Rep. Jake Auchincloss minces no words about Signalgate on Piers Morgan: “Pete Hegseth is lying to the American people, lying to Congress, lying to the military.” “It’s incompetence incarnate…It’s embarrassing & it’s dangerous.”

This is how it’s done.

The “Houthi Principals Committee” should be called “Club Houthi.” It may be satire, but it perfectly captures how they handled national security—reckless, clueless, and freaking embarrassing.

Senator, I’m of the opinion that the Trump Administration is intent on creating an American-style authoritarian situation. Do you agree?

I do. Long ago the Republican Party decided that they cared more about power than they did democracy.

When I was on X for 4 years warning everybody about what was coming down the pipe, I often used Hitler's blitzkrieg across Europe as a metaphor. I got attacked relentlessly for the comparison.

When you see what's happening in the first 9 weeks, it's a blitzkrieg. Fast and hard is the plan.

The reason DEI exists is so that competent, qualified people don't get passed over in favor of mediocre incompetent white men who had a well-connected buddy.

Or so that utter morons who share war plans on the group chat don't hire their brother and get away with it bc they're white dudes.

If Trumpty-Dumpty is working with the Russians to screw up America, he's doing a great job. Eggs, $11 a dozen. Health & Human Services down the dumper, ditto VA. If you call Social Security, they tell you to call back later. Guys 'n gals, this is more fucked up than Peter O'Toole on his birthday.
