The Palestine Red Crescent released a video made by a paramedic before he was killed by Israelis in Gaza, and called the deaths of 15 rescue workers “a full-fledged war crime.” Israel has said it is investigating, but Red Crescent officials called on the UN for an independent investigation.

#media #democrats must keep this as singular and loud focus until there are resignations or firings. No being quiet on this issue!!
In a normal world Waltz and Hagseth would be fired for leaking the info and setting up the chat. Gabbard and Ratcliffe would go for possibly misleading Congress yesterday.

Unfortunately paywalled, but from other reports another well written and important article. #democrats #media must keep this the top new story loud and strong until their are resignations (or firings).

Yes! Thank you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social please don’t let off until there are resignations or firings. Stay on top of this #democrats and #media
Pete Hegseth must resign or be fired immediately.

@schiff.senate.gov other than post here what are you and #congress #democrats actually going to do about this? @nbcnews.com @cbsnews.com @cnn.com @abc7.bsky.social @foxnewscorporation.bsky.social with all that talk about "her emails", please don't let this off the front page!
1. Call it what you will, detailed military strike plans were discussed.

2. If such plans were not classified, that is a separate security failure.

3. If that guidance allows such use of a commercial app, that is yet another serious national security failure.

The CIA Director testified today that he is not sure a reporter was on the unclassified national security group chat that recklessly disclosed military plans in Yemen.

The whole world is aware of who was part of Signalgate.

These people cannot be trusted with America’s national security.

"...but her emails..."
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth disclosed war plans in a group chat that included the editor in chief of The Atlantic two hours before U.S. troops launched attacks against the Houthi militia in Yemen, the White House said. It was an extraordinary breach of U.S. national security intelligence.
Hegseth Disclosed Secret War Plans in a Group Chat
The conversation among the defense secretary and other national security officials on a commercial messaging app mistakenly included the editor in chief of The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg.

Glad Roberts finally weighed in on one of Trump's outrages, but I can't say this makes me sleep better at night. The damage has been done - 137 men are in prison in El Salvador without receiving due process. Will Roberts do something about THAT?

I personally cannot accept any justification for families being killed along with an intended target, or for launching airstrikes that will knowingly kill children. And the US supports this, and the rest of the world watches and does nothing to stop it.

The Executive branch callously ignoring the Judicial branch is a serious, serious problem
The federal judge’s ruling was clear: The Trump administration could not use an obscure wartime law from the 18th century to deport people without a hearing. That did not happen. Instead, the Trump administration sent more than 200 migrants to El Salvador over the weekend.
Timeline of Trump’s Deportation Flights, From Alien Enemies Act to Judge’s Order
A New York Times review of flight data showed that at the time of a federal judge’s order, two flights were in the air, and one had not yet taken off.

These are e most important #s for the Dems. They should be tracking all local media and influencers in these states and reposting it everywhere

The economic pain tariffs can indlict on red states need to be talked about more than anything else right now. It will flip voters.

A federal judge said "stop this" and the administration did it anyway...somthing's gonna have to give at some point...
The Trump administration has sent hundreds of Venezuelans accused of being gang members to a prison in El Salvador, pushing the limits of U.S. immigration law seemingly after a federal judge ordered that the deportation flights not proceed.

Our #NationalParks are one of our countries greatest treasures. Mind-boggling a president would want to hide that rather than brag about it 🤔☹️
National parks had a record number of visits last year. Now, an internal memo is directing the National Park Service not to publicize visitors numbers amid the Trump administration’s mass firings of rangers and other employees.
