I'm no lawyer, but it seems like discussing war plans in Signal outside a SCIF is maybe just a little bit worse than using a private server to send emails that weren't even marked as classified. But what do I know.

George Washington saw farther and much more clearly in 1796 than Trump’s appeasers see in 2025
".. and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion." (G Washington, 1796)

A heartfelt thank you to former Senators Joe Manchin and Kristen Sinema for repeatedly blocking popular policies to preserve “norms” and protect “the rights of the minority”

Odd, how the same people who got all rilled up about “government interference in our livelihoods” when people had taken advice from Dr. Fauci to save their lives don’t seem to care when Elon Musk has taken their jobs to profit himself.
