We must stand against war, militarism, and government attacks on protest.

If the White House is insisting that there was no classified or secret information in the Signal chat, does that mean Jeffrey Goldberg can publish it all?

If the Senate Democrats do this, yes, it’s a massive betrayal of their base and an unconscionable abdication of their duty.

Every single one of them who’s complicit in this scheme needs to be driven out of politics forever.
The word for what Senate Democrats are doing right now is "betrayal." Not only are they voluntarily surrendering the only leverage they have, the leverage they have spent months promising to use against Trump, they're doing it while lying and pretending they want the opposite.

I’m absolutely fucking LIVID at my senators right now.

I cannot believe how absolutely feckless they are.

Truly disgusted right now watching them capitulate to Trump and Musk’s vile administration and dangerous agenda.

Stopping cyber operations while the Russians aggressively pursue theirs is another unearned accommodation. Historically, Russia banks concessions and pushes harder. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/02/u...
Hegseth Orders Pentagon to Stop Offensive Cyberoperations Against Russia
The defense secretary’s instructions, which were given before President Trump’s blowup with the Ukrainian president, are apparently part of an effort to draw Russia into talks on the war.
