Tulsi Gabbard and John Ratcliffe are testifying in front of the Senate Intelligence Committee this morning. I have some questions.

The Trump administration halted funding for a national database that tracked domestic terrorism, hate crimes, and school shootings, as part of broad cuts to violence prevention programs. The move eliminated a critical resource designed to enhance public safety amid persistent and pressing threats.

Jeffrey Goldberg and Pete Hegseth. One takes DOD protocols seriously:
Goldberg:
—Did not disclose sensitive information; and
—Left the chat when clear he was on chain (errantly) w/classified plans
We’ve asked Pee Wee amateurs to play in big leagues. Expect (a lot) more unforced errors.

The bigger question we should be asking is: Why are Trump officials using Signal for their communications instead of formal, traceable channels?
The answer seems clear — to avoid transparency.
