This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

Don't let up on Signalgate.

The Mueller report cited rampant use of Signal as a means of obstruction of justice.

The entire discussion is fait accompli.

Also guarantee it is how everyone inside this thug WH communicates.

Which means the law is being knowingly & deliberately violated every day.

We tried mass tariffs in 1828, and it crashed the economy. We tried again in 1930, and it crashed the economy.

Third time’s the charm, I guess.

I think there is going to be a Red Rural Recession and soon if all the cuts continue as is

All the firings, cancelling of grants and contracts with companies , the closing of offices, disproportionately impact small towns, cities and states.

Their finances will be turned upside

They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics.

Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.

It gets worse.

This Signal situation is just the tip of the iceberg of incompetence in this administration.

Yesterday proved why North Carolina needs an Attorney General who can challenge unlawful executive orders.

We won an injunction against an order that would have cut hundreds of millions in research funding from our public universities and research institutions.

I called some nut job follower of Dorito Mussolini "Slowke" earlier after he wrote a 5 page non-sensical manifesto to me that I didn't/couldn't read. I explained it was like if being "Woke" got on Fox News for 5 minutes. He did not like it one bit, and I'm gonna try and make it a thing now. #Slowke

Donald Trump is embarrassing the United States on the world stage. We are a country that stands up to dictators and fights for democracy.

Minnesota stands firmly with our allies in Ukraine.

Pathetic. Shameful. Cowardly. Disgusting. Trump and JD Vance showed the world they will enthusiastically reward the aggression of dictators and don't think freedom is worth fighting for.

They are setting fire to Reagan's "City Upon A Hill."

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.”

There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

Since I have defended and supported the WaPo in the months since the election and the infamous pulled endorsement, I feel obliged to say: this is very, very bad. A dear friend at a Post vet says it's the worst thing to happen to the Post in its long history, and I can't argue.

The dirty secret to the tush push is that it's just a QB sneak with a top 5 O line and a quarterback who can bench 300 pounds. That's it. That's all it is. I refuse to hear arguments to the contrary

I just saw someone in a post call 47 Dorito Mussolini and I am now officially making that my primary term for it. With all due apologies to Doritos.

They should go with Canada's hockey team from the 4 Nations faceoff and just have a big ass party.
The Eagles should go visit Justin Trudeau to just rub more salt in the wound
