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

Ossoff: He’s so consumed by his efforts to secure revenge, crush his enemies, and conquer Greenland that he’s doing nothing for the people who elected him. His entire domestic agenda is tax breaks for the wealthy, rounding up immigrants, revenge, and centralizing as much power as he can..

It’s pretty ironic that the Trump Admin was just arguing in court earlier today that they couldn’t divulge info about the flights to El Salvador supposedly holding Venezuelan gang members because it would violate “National Security.” 🙄😡

I'm no lawyer, but it seems like discussing war plans in Signal outside a SCIF is maybe just a little bit worse than using a private server to send emails that weren't even marked as classified. But what do I know.

BREAKING: Judge Alsup has ordered the reinstatement of ALL probationary employees at Veterans Affairs, DoD, Agriculture, Interior, Labor, and Energy, AND he is demanding under oath testimony from Ezell. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...
Thousands of fired federal workers must be rehired immediately, judge rules
U.S. District Judge William Alsup described the mass firings as a “sham” strategy by the government’s central human resources office.

"the plan to shrink IRS staff by up to 50% would — very conservatively — lead to a $400 billion increase in uncollected taxes over the next decade. It could easily mean more than $2 trillion in losses..."

Opinion | DOGE says it’s saving $100 billion. It’s about to lose a lot more.
Cuts to the IRS will backfire by giving tax evaders a free pass.

Rep. Mike Levin: I had the opportunity to have a hearing with the head of the Army Corps of Engineers. They were the ones who let two billion gallons of water flow down to a dry lake bed, where much of it simply evaporated. It never made its way to LA…

Mahmoud Khalil is a horrible antisemite. HOWEVER, I will fiercely fight for his right to stay in this country. He should not be deported for his political speech. FREE SPEECH is vital to democracies, even when we hate what is being said. Without this we are no better than any authoritarian regime.
