“The notion that I or any of my colleagues ‘body slammed’ armed federal officers is absurd. DHS is lying because they know their agents were out of line.”

Where did Hegseth get the info he dropped into the Signal chat? Did he copy/paste it from another chat?
“The Vice President that I worked for wouldn’t even use AirPods because she understood the national security threat. These people—it’s amateur hour at the OK corral.” @symonedsanders.bsky.social

Goldberg on Waltz: "This isn't The Matrix. Phone numbers don't just get sucked into other phones. I don't know what he's talking about ... my phone number was in his phone because my phone number was in his phone. He's telling everyone that he's never met me or spoken to me. That's simply not true."

Goldberg: "Hegseth is promising that US warplanes are taking off in 30 minutes to bomb enemy targets that we know are protected by anti-aircraft batteries. If that's not the most sensitive information, the most secret info in the world, I simply don't know what the meaning of 'classified' is."

Secretary Hegseth must resign. He lied.
Now, we have new reporting about Hegseth’s wife. If the White House doesn't provide more facts, then this raises all sorts of red flags.

The White House Correspondents’ Association said it fired host Amber Ruffin so it can instead focus the dinner on celebrating the First Amendment.
Which apparently can be done best by preventing a gay black woman from speaking.

Hiring your brother is the original affirmative action for white people.
Diversity initiatives were meant to overcome the old patterns of nepotism, so I guess it makes sense that the enemies of diversity are big fans of nepotism.

This week, as the number of confirmed measles cases rose to 483, the CDC buried a report that would’ve stressed the importance of getting vaccinated.
The move was “not normal at all,” one agency staff member said.

The CDC Buried a Measles Forecast That Stressed the Need for Vaccinations
The move — along with the CDC’s explanation — is a sign that the nation’s top public health agency may be falling in line under HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime critic of vaccines.

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

These are the streets of Georgia now, resisting Russia. When Trump tries do what he is already threatening, this will be what the streets of DC will look like and I will be on the frontlines with you. We will never obey in advance, or ever.

I always think it’s important to point out (since it usually is little discussed these days) that Rosa Parks was fired from her seamstress job in Montgomery and was basically blacklisted from being employed in the city. She had to move to Detroit because of discrimination after this.
