For people in the journalism business, and for people in general, *this* is the killer detail in latest Hegseth-dereliction-of-duty report:

That *four* people on the call were willing to talk about it!

Congrats to the reporters. And most obvious dead-man-walking of cabinet members perhaps ever.

Party chair's email accused senators of threats and intimidation. Top elected Democrats say 'Chair has lost our trust.' What happens next?

📌UNDERSTAND: Now that we have learned Pete Hegseth shared classified information about imminent strikes in Yemen in another group chat that included his wife, brother and personal lawyer, he should be arrested.

📌This was no one-off, this was treason.

Newsom getting dunked to hell by a guy who even serious politics knowers had in the “who?”
category until last week, you love to see it
Q: "How do you respond to Governor Newsom?"

Sen. Van Hollen: "I think Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who are all finger to the wind...Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn't deserve to lead."

This is a much more problematic detail than Whitmer being photographed in the Oval Office.

You never "gotta hand it" to fascists, nor do you ever have to collaborate with them.

…and Newsom has /always/ been an attention grabbing idiot. I’m glad that other people on the left or center-left side of the spectrum have finally started to notice.

This is one of the most heartfelt moments I’ve seen on TV in ages.

Watch Katie Phang and Rep. Jasmine Crockett dissolve into tears as Phang bids farewell during one of her final episodes of her show.

If this leads to a terrorist attack, god forbid, this will absolutely be pinned on diaspora Americans and not the numerous breeches of security Trump's admin has been creating. I'm not sure here.
the saving grace of trump’s administration and the regime he’s trying to establish is that none of these people are particularly good or effective at their jobs
“The Pentagon is in ‘total chaos’ and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is unlikely to remain in his role, according to its former top spokesperson, who painted a scene of dysfunction, backstabbing and continuous missteps at the highest levels of the department.”

It’s the Simpsons meme, but in the first panel Bart says “this is the worst security breach of my life,” and in the second panel Homer corrects him “the worst security breach of your life so far.”
“Unlike the chat in which The Atlantic was mistakenly included, the newly revealed one was created by Mr. Hegseth. It included his wife and about a dozen other people from his personal and professional inner circle…”
Hegseth Said to Have Shared Attack Details in Second Signal Chat (Gift Article)
The defense secretary sent sensitive information about strikes in Yemen to an encrypted group chat that included his wife and brother, people familiar with the matter said.

No she would not, from the fact that she herself was the one member of the Biden administration who was open to responding to protestors, even more than Biden himself.

Bruh. Are you kidding me?
Fascism is now in the algorithms, the neural pathways, the social interactions. How did we fail to see all this? “We wanted to see Trump in terms of his absences, so that our way of seeing the world would go unchallenged,” Timothy Snyder writes.
What Does It Mean That Donald Trump Is a Fascist?
Trump takes the tools of dictators and adapts them for the Internet. We should expect him to try to cling to power until death, and create a cult of January 6th martyrs.
