It has been 18 days since we learned that those involved in Signalgate recklessly endangered the lives of American pilots.
The fact that there has been no Congressional investigation is an abomination.
This should outrage every single Member of Congress.

Tim Walz was born on this day in 1964 in West Point, Neb. Governor Walz believes in radical, woke things like feeding schoolchildren, ensuring tax fairness, developing infrastructure, requiring universal gun background checks and protecting women’s rights.

It’s up to Congress to make sure the Trump regime’s national security failure is confronted and fully investigated. Hearings today were a good start, but it’s clear Trump and his lying incompetents are determined for it to blow over as if it’s not a big deal. It is a big deal.

Perhaps the most insidious thing President Musk is doing is decimating the federal government's production of data. This will make it more difficult for his critics to show, objectively, how stupid his policies are. Stalin did the same thing and executed a great economist named Nikolai Kondratiev.
