I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

This bill is going to harm millions of Americans right now but we won’t know the true toll for years.

It’s time for Democratic leaders, donors, and organizations to use their dollars to fill the gaps Trump is creating: fund clinics, stock food banks, protect communities.

This is the original House roll call for the Big 🐂 💩 Bill. clerk.house.gov/evs/2025/rol...

What’s the scoop with Harris (MD), Garbarino and Schweikert? Three Republicans. One voted “Present” rather than Yes, the other two did not vote. If they’d voted No, the Bill would have been killed months ago.

Here's the things. You can't install Signal on federal devices. Ergo, this entire chat was being carried out on PRIVATE phones.

So not only does the APP not have the proper security, the DEVICES don't either.

The most obvious lesson to draw from the leaked Signal chat is that these people really are morons. It's not a public act, it's not a schtick, there's not some secret back room where they drop the facade. They are genuinely stupid, incompetent people.

One thing that can get lost in all this is that Jeff Goldberg knows much, much more about national security than the principals who were on that text chain.

The BBC just published a profile on two Russian spies it tracked down. One of them used to get information just by reading texts and PINs over her targets’ shoulders.

This is why these guys are dumbasses. They didn’t just cock up by adding the wrong JG to the chat.

Jeffrey Goldberg thinking he was being pranked and then realizing he was actually just in the war plans group chat is such a good microcosm of how it feels to be alive right now, everything seems fake until you realize it’s actually real and incredibly stupid

I’ve been wondering which “JG” the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic was mixed up with when he was added to the group chat. What do you want to bet it was this guy?

When Amazon launched in 1995, there were 5,500 indie bookshops in the U.S., with 7,000 locations. By May of 2023, that number had decreased to 2,185 indies & 2,599 locations.

When you purchase audiobooks via Libro.fm vs. Audible, you directly support indie bookshops. Let's make that number grow ❤️
