If it was good news, or if they had any possible way to spin it as good news, they would rush to release the info as soon as it was available

I guess when this administration is done destroying the Constitution, secession will no longer be unconstitutional

I don't know if there's ever been a culture more in love with charlatans than ours. "Success" defined entirely by how good you are at tricking people into giving you money. An entire country of aspiring slop merchants

No matter your station in life, there is astoundingly little separating you from those men in that cage behind Kristi Noem. No charges, no attorneys, no hearings, no trial. Just conjecture and brute force could be enough to justify completely dehumanizing you, too.

Jeffrey Goldberg thinking he was being pranked and then realizing he was actually just in the war plans group chat is such a good microcosm of how it feels to be alive right now, everything seems fake until you realize it’s actually real and incredibly stupid

The latest crazy just proves what we all know. They are discussing everything on Signal to avoid any discovery or FOIA or archival laws. So illegal but here we are.

Incomprehensible incompetence. But what else can you expect when you fire all the professionals and replace them with the biggest loud-mouths you can find

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.
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.

It's always wrong to vandalize personal property and that certainly includes Teslas, and also: your government is actively disappearing innocent people without due process, so, you know, that second one is taking up my empathetic bandwidth at the moment.

"Cannot be closed without approval from congress" is honestly getting old.
95% of what he's doing needs approval from congress. The law isn't the law unless its enforced.
Republicans are bending over, and Democrats are spineless cowards.

People need to be crystal clear about something: The requirement that the government ANSWER to a court on the legal basis for detaining someone is literally the core liberty right (habeas corpus). If the government says they don’t have to do that bc “national security,” YOU can be disappeared.

Kinda striking how often the current administration's justification for their actions is literally just "I want to do this and I won the election, therefore I can do this." The whole point of a functioning US system of govt is to PREVENT all-powerful monarchs, not to just choose them via elections.
