@mimarek Higher penalties for narcs than the crooks?
@AlliFlowers
There may be appropriate legal penalties for the leakers, although "he used a Signal chat" does not appear to be legitimate classified information.
But as you say, he did it and has not actually denied it.
Gov't officials mustn't use Signal to evade public records rules. "If you decide to have your communications...in a way that is not trackable or retrievable in response to a FOIA request, what you are doing is circumventing the law," @evacide told @axios. https://www.axios.com/2025/04/22/signalgate-encryption-trump-administration-downloads

"Not a strategic move prior to hurricanes season: 'The NWS office in Houston will soon be without any permanent management staff: their meteorologist-in-charge, warning coordination meteorologist, science and operations officer, and electronics system analyst will all be retired by the end of April.'

🚨"It should HORRIFY you that it took a major news story for #DHS⬇️to say publicly that it imprisoned someone in SLV 5 weeks ago.
The man never once got a trial. No judge ever found him to be a public safety threat or a member of a gang. No due process/nothing.
After secretly sending Mr Prada to be imprisoned in SLV w/o a trial, DHS now has the chutzpah to claim that nothing untowards happened.
Until today -didn't even acknowledge that this had even happened."

The adulteration of milk with chalk and/or formaldehyde was one of the reasons the FDA was formed in the first place.
So what could possibly go wrong?

@saribethrose Is this a trick question? @BrianJopek
@mimarek Does it really matter who ratted him out? He did it.
Vaccines are one of the greatest scientific success stories of our time. Vaccination has saved more than 154 million lives in the last 50 years — more than six lives every minute of every year.
Our technical ability to develop vaccines has outpaced our social, political, and financial systems for ensuring their use. Recent moves to strip funding from vaccine-related research are shortsighted and self-harming. As is the use of precious resources to revisit debunked claims of links to autism.
The best vaccine isn’t useful if it is not distributed, or not socially accepted. Vaccine equity and hesitancy remain great challenges. Globalizing antivaccine activism could become our greatest hurdle.
We should not allow misinformation, disinformation, ignorance and defunding to hinder vaccine development, deployment and use.
It is not time to defund, but rather invest in vaccines.

@hindsight And "just following orders" is not an excuse.
#Trump issued an order targeting former #officials from his first term who publicly rejected claims of voter #fraud.
@MalcolmNance What about the monsters who calmly carry out his orders.
