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.

Every move by the WH and DOGE is backed by gaslighting and propaganda. Someone has called it "Nazi theatre" and that's exactly what it is. Resist!

Courts are starting to take action on the influx of lawsuits being filed against the actions of WH administration.

A scary thought grows as we watch them wantonly dismantle the government: the more they twart the system and ignore the laws of the land, the closer we get to retaliatory lawlessness to stop them.

Dems are doing their best. They need continued support from the people - not criticism. They fillibustered overnight last night, delaying the confirmation of Russell Vought to head the OMB. With no majority power, this kind of intervention is their best bet right now.

History will look favorably upon Joe Biden.
He quietly and adeptly guided our floundering country into safe harbors when we needed it most, even if only for a little while, even if only to let us catch our collective breath. He was, indeed, "the man for the moment".
Thank you, Joe. 🇺🇸

Pete Buttigieg told Democrats to not allow themselves to be so outraged by the Trump administration that they would neglect working for their constituents. “We cannot be mesmerized by the worst things that we see happening,” Buttigieg said.
