A win for truth and history: A National Park Service page(removed by Musk) on the Underground Railroad has been restored to prominently feature Harriet Tubman, after her image and quote were removed earlier this year. Now, her legacy as a fearless champion for freedom has rightfully been restored. ✊

🚨 NEW via POLITICO: Waltz’s team set up at least 20 Signal group chats for crises across the world

Mike Waltz’s team used at least 20 Signal chats to coordinate official work on Ukraine, China, Gaza, and more—often discussing sensitive info.

This goes way beyond what was previously known.

It’s a more extensive use of the app than previously reported and sheds new light on how commonly the Trump administration’s national security team relies on Signal.

WATCH AND SHARE
I posted this video earlier, but now I have a clean copy of it. Meet Bernard Marks. He is 87 & attended a Sacramento town hall where he confronts a top U.S. immigration law enforcement official & the Sacramento County Sheriff Scott Jones. He is the energy we all need. We ALL must standup to fascism.

Relatedly, did we ever get an explanation as to how russian state media was accidentally (???) in the oval office when trump and vance attacked zelensky?
Right-wing YouTuber Tim Pool has made it to the White House pool — someone from his “Timcast” channel will be part of today’s pool duty covering the president.

Last year, DOJ revealed Pool was receiving millions of dollars from the Russian gov. Pool says he didn’t know where it was coming from.

We will not be discouraged.
We’ve got our eyes on the prize.

And we will build the prosperous, free nation for all that we deserve.

Preeeetty sure they just hate women.
The Trump administration abruptly pulled funding last week for a research grant meant to protect pregnant women from domestic violence because it was categorized as a “DEI” study.

Homicide by an abusive partner is the leading cause of death for pregnant women in the U.S. – and researchers are gutted by the sudden cuts.

She had every right to be way more angry about this. But she took the high road and simply called it out for what it is. It's bad, though, when the high road involves calling something dumb. But here we are 🤷🏼‍♀️

Pete Hegseth, not Mike Waltz, made the biggest mistake in the Signal scandal.

While the national security adviser has rightfully come under fire, the defense secretary deserves the most scrutiny.
