The #Democrats need to stay on the #SignalGate fiasco with the ruthlessness of #Republicans. #FireHegseth
Waltz, an Army veteran, is missing the fucking point; an unsecure communication platform shouldn’t have been used for that “chat.”
“The senior-level Trump Cabinet member said he took ‘full responsibility’ for the mistake and said Goldberg’s addition was not the fault of a staffer—as President Trump had floated as a possibility — while recognizing that the person he intended to add never joined the chat. Waltz declined to name the individual in question. - Ashleigh Fields

@DemocracyMattersALot To quote #MAGAmoron, "Yu-u-ge, bigley fuck ups. No one does fuck ups better than me!"
@Yoshi I can live with that. They deserve to be under a pile of manure.
@AlliFlowers The guy has more balls than any #republican .
Mr. Geier has a bachelor’s degree in biology. He has no knowledge, training or experience in epidemiology or statistical analysis, which is why several of his papers have been retracted. He was disciplined for practicing medicine without a license. And this is who Kennedy chooses to run this study.
"Alien Enemies Act #Deportations: Carefully Orchestrated To Keep Courts In The Dark."
"The Trump admin commenced orchestrating the removals long before Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act, & did so in a way - seems to have been designed to🚨EVADE JUDICIAL OVERSIGHT."

"It appears to have just grabbed random tattooed Venezuelan who were lawfully awaiting asylum determinations."

Hey DNI Tulsi Gabbard:
Consequences for thee, but not for me?
How does it work when you lie to Congress?
@TonyStark Similar to Republicans picking one judge in Amarillo, Texas to make rulings for the whole country to stop Biden's executive orders, but when Judge Boasberg rules against Trump, it's time for Congress to not only prevent judges from making the same kind of ruling now, but to Trump to try to impeach him and any other judges who dare to cross this admin, and for the Speaker of the House to suggest dissolving whole district courts. AKA rules for thee, not for me.

Military Wife Rips Hegseth for Risking ‘Husband’s Life’ in Viral Videos
The wife of an active duty service member slammed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth... Trump, and Republicans...
“There hasn’t been a single night that I haven’t cried myself to sleep for my husband’s safety, and the safety of other service members ... just for being in the military with these people in charge,” ...

AWOL #GOP congress critter Kevin Kiley (MAGA-CA) is whining and crying on his blog about Indivisible holding empty chair town halls (because he refuses to hold real ones). And oh, boo hoo, he can't handle all the calls he is getting from the constituents he wants to screw out of #SocialSecurity. They were just supposed to go meekly die I guess.
It's a clown-show security error, of course, but does being able to see someone's Venmo contacts matter?
Sure
as security pros note in this story, it shows lots of soft targets that a malevolent actor could spoof
PayPal password for the US Secretary of Defence, anyone? Oh dear. https://www.spiegel.de/international/world/hegseth-waltz-gabbard-private-data-and-passwords-of-senior-u-s-security-officials-found-online-a-14221f90-e5c2-48e5-bc63-10b705521fb7#ref=rss #Privacy #Security #USA

Meanwhile Whiskey Pete Hegseth proves unqualified white Christian men DO harm military readiness.
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

Her name is Rumeysa Ozturk, she's a student from Turkey, and even her lawyer doesn't know where she is right now.

God announces that Canada has just launched a billboard offensive in MAGA states, with giant roadside signs information MAGA voters of something they are reluctant to learn — since they voted for this to be done to them:
