It’s worth pointing out that if any of the law enforcement agents behind Pam Bondi in this press conference had texted a buddy on Signal, “US F-18s are hitting the Houthis at 1:45 pm” they would be fired and prosecuted. Zero doubt. Zero second chances.
REPORTER: The Signal chat controversy -- is DOJ involved? If so, why? If not, why not?
BONDI: It was sensitive info, not classified. What we should be talking about is it was a very successful mission... if you want to talk about classified information, talk about what was at Hillary Clinton's home

I think this is perceptive, and important, from Rep. Jim Himes.
(In short: You can tell from the texts that Hegseth is reveling in cosplay as a 'Top Gun'-type character. Worth listening to the way Himes puts it.)

Himes: This is his life now. He’s nowhere near qualified for the position he holds, so when he gets on a Signal chat with his buddies and says, ‘We’re a go. Centcom says all in. F-18s,’ it just makes him feel really, really good.
Sadly, of course, it puts our people at risk.

Wisconsin—ignore the polls & get your ass to the voting booth on Tuesday. Elon Musk is dumping millions to turn out a group that usually stays home—voters that the pollsters didn’t account for.
Don’t let the richest man on Earth buy your state to serve his own interests. Show up and shut him down.👀

Soooooo we thinking old Pete was drunk or the job or what? It would be funny, if it wasn’t scary! Maybe we need some DEI (definitely earned it) hires to get this shit together because the incompetence is OVERWHELMINGLY problematic.

Imagine thinking a guy who charges around $100K for a vehicle with glued on metal panels that just fall off is the one to be trusted anywhere near our government.

I feel confident in predicting history will judge this decade or so as the absolutely stupidest time in American history.
Honestly our kids and grandkids will read about this time and be shocked that adults existed.

Pentagon removes, then restores webpage on Jackie Robinson's military career
The Pentagon ordered a digital refresh to remove content featuring DEI, which has led to the removal in some cases of pages recognizing significant figures in the U.S. military's history.

Similar things are happening in Georgia as well.
A US-born citizen was walking near Chicago in January. ICE snatched him off the street, handcuffed him, threw into a van. His wallet, which contained his ID, was confiscated. He was detained for 10 hours before being released without a record of what occurred.

You have $100 in your checking account.
One day, you check your balance and it's $60. You haven't made any withdrawals.
You call the bank. They say $40 was taken as part of their "waste, fraud and abuse" program.
Would you be ok with it?
Coz it's happening to your social security and Medicaid.

Perhaps the most depressing part about the last couple of months is that every awful shitty thing that’s happening to this country is self-induced. People asked for this. None of it had to happen.

What I find so fascinating about Trump, Vance and Musk's verbal abuse of Ukrainians & Polish officials etc, is: can you imagine them speaking like this to a Russian or Chinese official?

He also strongly believed we could inject people with bleach to cure Covid and that transgenic is the same as transgender. He’s an absolute moron so maybe we shouldn’t be basing any policy on what he thinks.
