ICE officers arrested 54-year-old Julio Noriega and moved him into a van before he could explain himself, he said.

He spent several hours in an ICE processing center before officers checked his wallet and realized he is a U.S. citizen.

If you're wondering what it looks like when people take classified information seriously, here's a true story: I was once detained by Canadian Armed Forces military police for mistakenly sending a lunch menu over an insecure fax.

Rosemary Barton on CBC just said "if Pierre #Poilievre becomes Prime Minister, he will be automatically granted a full security clearance."

Unbelievable that a CBC host is pushing the idea that Canadians need to calm down, back off, and quit asking why PP won't get a clearance BEFORE voting day?? 🤦

This is horrible... This administration needs to be stopped 🛑

BREAKING: Trump to defund Planned Parenthood of tens of millions of $’s in grants.

Trump is defunding cancer screenings, STD testing and birth control for millions, while spending $3M a week to vacation at his own resort.

I should just have this emoji permanently embedded in my posts 🤦🏻‍♀️

Via Hugo Lowell:

New: Asked whether it would be fine to release all the messages in the Signal chat since he says they are not classified, #Trump demurs and tells me: “I'd have to ask the military about that, because, you know, maybe you wouldn't want that. I don't know.”

Who should hang for this latest breach of America’s national security?

i still can't get over the fact that we're talking about the consequences for not plotting the bombing of another country by using the proper official channels and procedures. the one that ensures secrecy and the security of the death machine.

not the consequences for slaughtering 53 human beings

just that they did it the wrong way

Is America great again yet?

Here's CIA Director John Ratcliffe initially saying he doesn't know if Jeffrey Goldberg was on the group chat and later defending himself by saying Goldberg was added inadvertently. He couldn't keep his story straight for five minutes of Sen. Ossoff's questioning.

upside: finally dealing with illegal immigration
downside: did you read oliver twist

The other thing Kristi Noem's State Secrets declaration APPEARS to try to do is claim that Trump and Marco Rubio's ratification of Nayib Bukele's identification of the three planes used to fly detainees to El Salvador was only "informal" confirmation. www.emptywheel.net/2025/03/25/k...

🇺🇦🇷🇺 Ukraine and Russia have agreed to a Black Sea ceasefire after separate talks with U.S. officials in Saudi Arabia. The White House says the U.S. will help restore Russia's access to the world market for certain products. Ukraine's MoD Umerov confirmed the news.

Trump officials exposed active war plans—including targets and timing—on an unsecured Signal chat with a journalist. Gabbard and Ratcliffe dodged Senate questions, claiming no classified info was shared, despite clear national security risks. GOP senators deflected, while Democrats demanded resignations.

Pierre Poilievre spent all his time as the Leader of the Official Opposition WITHOUT A SECURITY CLEARANCE.

Why? What was he afraid of? He had a proper security clearance when he served in Stephen Harper's cabinet for 10+ years.

I wonder what changed... or what he could be hiding. #cdnpoli #polcan #elxn45

All 11 officials on that Signal chat should be placed under military arrest and charged with felony Dissemination of War Plans under 18 U.S. Code § 798 and the Espionage Act.

This is an outrageous breach of our national (and international) security, and it MUST be punished severely.
