Happily retired IT guy. Currently singing in a barbershop quartet and a community chorus - singing second bass, that is. Messing with my 3D printers, too.

Pete Hegseth is a f*cking liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that could’ve gotten our pilots killed.
He needs to resign in disgrace immediately.

18 USC 793(f) makes it a crime to remove national defense information from its proper place through gross negligence. Doesn’t matter whether info was classified. Signal chat is not a proper place.
Signal Chat Disclosure Poses Early Test for F.B.I. and Justice Dept.
Whether the agencies open an investigation will bring into sharp relief the intended approach of their leaders, Kash Patel and Pam Bondi, who promised to administer impartial justice.

“You simply can’t treat the airstrike group chat the same way you treat the friend’s girlfriend’s birthday brunch planning group chat. … I mean, these dumbasses are probably planning the invasion of Greenland on Snapchat right now.”

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA.
Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps.
Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems.

It’s horrifying that it’s come to this, but as someone with a deep affinity for Europe I feel moved seeing that continent come together to try to save itself in the absence of any meaningful aid from the totalitarian regime that’s in the midst of taking over the United States through an illegal coup

May I recommend setting up a Proton mail and not using your government work email to file a complaint. And don't do it during your tour of duty hours. Document everything. This isn't legal advice. Just advice from a friend.
Feels like a good time to remind everyone that if you are a public servant wishing to report retaliation, acts of corruption or abuse of government power, I have a page for that on my website: www.wyden.senate.gov/whistleblowe...

Of course, the Press has gone to great lengths to sanewash the wannabe-dictator’s blitz of destruction. So I cut through all of that nonsense.

And egg prices are not going down….
The story of this first week is corruption. Billionaires seated on the inaugural stage in front of the cabinet, crypto pump and dump, and the illegal firing of IGs. The media is acting like this is too chaotic and bewildering to interpret, but they are just afraid of sounding shrill. It’s corrupt.
