This was not a "one off" incident.
It was in the Heritage Foundation's training videos on how to evade the FOIA and any accountability of their actions.
The first question Congress should ask on ANY matter should be if they had used Signal or any "disappearing" communications network.

This image will go down in infamy: Kristi Noem using abused El Salvadoran prisoners—some of whom she illegally deported in the dark of night, without due process—as props in a Trump ad in which she sports a $60,000 Rolex
These men have already been left in a hole to die—was that not enough for her?

Diane Abbott is correct that living on benefits isn’t a ‘lifestyle choice’. Good to hear at least one Labour MP confronting the Starmer gang’s ongoing attacks on the poor. #r4today

Voice of America is shut down. It played a key role in promoting goodwill for the U.S. worldwide and was translated into almost all major languages around the world. Now, I guess people abroad will be forced to swallow the lies and hate of Fox News.

"Four in 10 Gen Z workers consider quitting to live on benefits" crow the Daily Torygraph and the Daily Wail. However, far from living a leisurely life at the taxpayer's expense, as they would like you to believe, this says far more about the poor wages on offer in the UK today.

Can someone with a military background explain why this isn’t an act of war? The victim is a “US-flagged” vessel “at anchor in the North Sea and carrying huge amounts of jet fuel for the US military.” The deliberate attack’s aggressor is a Russian captain.

Dad died 40yrs ago, at 61, Mum 48yrs ago, at 53.
What would I tell my young self?
Ask your parents about everything - family, old photos…and on and on…
At 71, I still see/hear/find things & think “Wish I’d asked them about that”, because there’s no one left who knows.

In addition to being wrong, this is against our own self-interest. If Russia is not stopped in Ukraine, they will simply continue to advance. Increasingly, that seems to be the point: Trump/Musk/Vance are aligned with Putin's interests & not ours.
