The White House just removed the only public database showing how federal dollars are approved for spending - despite a law requiring it. We’ve lost a key tool for transparency and oversight.

Our power--
There's a reason that tyrants hate protests.
We know why Vladimir Putin has essentially eliminated any ability to gather in large crowds that don't support him;
they make people feel strong.
They make it feel that it's safe to oppose authoritarianism.

In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
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.
