Schumer must go.
Chuck Schumer still thinks it's the era of polite letters and handshake deals. But those days are over.

Fighting the rise of authoritarianism demands steely resolve - not compromise. Schumer’s time is up.

Only bold, unflinching leadership can save our democracy.

Stick it to 'em, #ronwyden !
"Last year, the Social Security Inspector General issued a report showing Social Security has a criminal fraud rate of 0.009%.

As a percentage, that's much lower than the 1.4 billion in assets that reportedly went missing on the Tesla balance sheet just last week." - @wyden.senate.gov

Among other things, #signal messages can be configured to "disappear" after a certain period of time. Very convenient for certain people who might wish to avoid accountability. #hegseth #waltz #signalgate #clowncar
Confirming, as was obvious from context already, that this wasn’t a one-off. They are routinely using Signal to evade statutory record retention requirements.

It is GREAT to see a Democrat showing some spine (definitely not so-called leader #schumer).
The economy is in chaos, the Defense Dept. is trying to cover up leaking war plans in a group chat, and Trump & Musk are dismantling vital programs. What is the GOP using precious Floor time on this week?

Repealing refrigerator efficiency standards.

You can’t make this up. The GOP is out of touch.

BRAVO Melanie Stansbury! A Democrat who has a spine! (Take note, #schumer)

On a related note, who else got a message on Signal about PH's clandestine beer run later tonight? 2000 EST @ the Virginia ABC store on Columbia Pike. (There is a store closer to the Pentagon but PH doesn't want it to be too obvious.)

Benghazi this shit.

Make this Senate investigation last months and drag them in for questioning every day.

If you haven't called your Senator(s) yet regarding the CR vote tomorrow (3/13), DO IT. Also call Schumer, Booker, and (ugh) Fetterman.

Not specifically tariff-related, but I wrote a little ditty during Trump 1.0 entitled "TrumpTax". It is still 100% relevant:

Done with Gavin. What an utter disappointment.

"[climate change is a] side effect of building the modern world" — Chris Wright, former fracking executive turned US energy secretary

Full article (unlocked). Also note the photo... he looks incredulous.

Please take the time to read this. Then consider the impact that DOGE may have upon Social Security, not to mention access to Americans' personal information. This is worse than any data breach I have heard of.
WOW. Read this entire affidavit.
This affidavit, filed by a former Social Security employee in one of the DOGE cases, reveals a shocking exposure of personal info to DOGE operatives & possible compromise of parts of the system. Everyone should read this. Start at para 9. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Here are the receipts, Lil Marco.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

One $8 billion lineitem was actually $8 MILLION. An honest rounding error by Musk's Kiddie Corps.

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns.

100% of his salary is paid by WA state.

Elon fired him. Share his story.
