Adding a journalist to a top secret government group chat about dropping bombs *IS* the kind of thing people who aren’t super politically literate can understand and find shocking/notable/disqualifying. Dems should seize on this and never ever let it go. I hope to hear about it in a decade

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.

Canadian's take note of the emphasis on BUILD, PROTECT, SUPPORT, INVEST. Actions speak louder than negative slogans. @mark-carney.bsky.social is demonstrating that. He has a plan, he is executing that plan, and doing it fast. Exactly what is needed. Go 🍁 #CANADA
I have just asked the Governor General to dissolve Parliament and call a federal election on April 28.

We need to build the strongest economy in the G7. We need to deal with President Trump’s tariffs. Canadians deserve a choice about who should lead that effort for our country.

AOC and Bernie deserve credit for actually doing something. Never underestimate the power of people when they have leadership who speaks for them. There is no telling what they can do. We are watching from 🇨🇦
Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.

This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.

Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.

And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

Elon Musk is an egomaniacal sociopathic drug-abusing conman with a breeding fetish.

It’s absolutely insane that he’s in a position of power over the entire US government.

#Auspol Australia must stop being Americas lap dog. All Defence Force Purchases should be focused on protecting our shores from Invasion. Not being a reserve Force for America to use when they declare war on someone. They don't appear to appreciate it.

What do you call humans being kidnapped and sent to another country to be imprisoned in shackles and forced to perform intense physical labor while living in horrid conditions under the threat of daily physical violence and rape?

Open a history book. You can do it. I believe in you.

Trump's only move. Blackmail. He's doing it to everyone: law firms, companies, colleges, states, Canada, NATO, Ukraine. He was impeached in the first term for it. It's the only "art of the deal" he's ever known: strongman mafioso extortion. He'll re-run the same play forever until America collapses.
Trump says he will withhold federal tax dollars to Maine colleges unless the Gov of Maine personally apologizes to him.

The White House quietly released a Friday night EO that would eradicate privacy protections, make enemies lists a lot easier to assemble, and basically set the stage for a police state.
The first and most important thing to know about last night's Exec order is that it's intended to break current law and allow people throughout the federal gov look at yr tax returns. Beyond that it's intended to compel states to turn over all their data to the fed govt.
