Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

NEW: Donald Trump is not a regular president, and the courts must stop treating him like one. He is an aspiring autocrat who weaponizes the legal process to undermine the rule of law, @marcelias.bsky.social writes.

I don't care how many junior staffs Hegseth or others throw under the bus.
Hegseth HIMSELF was on the Signal group chat. He used his fingers to enter the sensitive military info into the chat.
He bears 100% full responsibility for that -- no matter how many scapegoats he finds.

Don't let SignalGate fade into the background. There needs to be accountability on many levels!
An eyewitness said that the U.S.’s March attack on the Houthis, detailed in the Signal security breach, killed women and children, including a newborn baby. Did the Trump Administration have the authority to make the strikes, and was the intelligence reliable?
The Other Side of Signalgate
The Trump Administration’s extraordinary security breach has elicited shock, amusement, and anger. An eyewitness in Yemen describes what happened when the bombs started to fall.

There must be an immediate bipartisan investigation to deliver answers about this deeply concerning security breach.

I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky
