House GOP issued 70+ subpoenas on HRC's penny-ante email "scandal." J Comey changed fate of the country (and world) w his last-minute decision to "re-open" the case. Ten days before election NYT gave nearly all of its front page to Comey's preening move.

There’s always that one person in the group chat who communicates 50% in emoji. We made that person the National Security Adviser.

“The reason I knew this is that Pete Hegseth, the secretary of defense, had texted me the war plan at 11:44 a.m. The plan included precise information about weapons packages, targets, and timing.”

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

What you have to understand about Pete Hegseth copying and pasting war plans into Signal is that it almost certainly means he’s got classified documents on his personal UNSECURE devices. Signal isn't on a secure device...are our war plans on his personal devices? @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social

Less pithily, it is one part of an ongoing insurrectionist movement to strengthen authoritarianism in the United States by demonstrating there is no real cost for pro-Trump political violence. bsky.app/profile/past...
Pardoning the people convicted of crimes related to January 6 would be an extension of the insurrection that began that day, as I explained to the Washington Post: www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Jeff Bezos has gone full MAGA by giving Melania Trump a new documentary film by Amazon.
And of course it's going to be directed by Brett Ratner, the guy who was credibly accused of rape, sexual harassment, and misconduct.
Vile stuff.

Does anyone have a contact for Ann ? Would love to discuss with her the possibility of partnering with her to publish her cartoons exclusively on @bluesky
Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.
He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.
Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.
