Does anyone else think this bill is weak and utterly stupid? If Hegseth doesn't release the boat attack tapes he can ONLY spend 75% of his travel budget! WTAF?!?!

House passes Pentagon bill pressuring Hegseth to release boat strike evidence
The Senate could approve the measure in coming days, and lawmakers expressed confidence that President Donald Trump will sign it into law.

I was wondering yesterday if everyone who contributed to Project 2025 and everyone who is following it, like usung encrypted chat with auto delete to get around FOIA requests, is part of a massive conspiracy and could be charged under RICO.

This distinction is incredibly important. Don't think it isn't.
It's amazing how often people forget the "or user" part of Section 230. Without that, it would be "the 24 words" not "the 26 words."
Y’know, I frequently forget about the user protection part and that this comes from 230.
I think we should be asking our members of Congress why they want to pass a law that would give Trump the power to sue you personally just for sharing other people’s posts criticizing him.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.
Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.
Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Trump: Trade war!
Colombia: OK
Trump: Fine, no more shackled detainees returned on military flights
Colombia: Good. Was that so hard?
