This President and the people who work with him are unserious about, and careless with, matters of national security. And Americans will die because of it. My latest Substack is out. Check it out. Thanks.👇 open.substack.com/pub/socialco...

Mike Waltz has now decided to roll out the story that Jeffrey Goldberg somehow hacked his way into their Signal chat.

Just admitting a mistake and apologizing seems like a lot less work than lying and peddling a half dozen different conspiracies.

The White House is saying the information shared in the Signal group chat was “not classified.”

They’re lying. Those who’ve served in uniform know it would’ve been classified. We’re calling for an investigation and accountability.

When the stakes are this high, incompetence is not an option.

Pete Hegseth should resign.

Mike Waltz should resign.

Today Donald Trump attacked me by name in a speech at the Department of Justice. Of course I am worried, but courage comes from acting in spite of being worried. I have made my choice: I will continue to speak out, I will continue to litigate, I will continue to stand tall.

I will never bow down.

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees.

Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law

Time to do things that make him react to you.

Van Hollen: "European allies & others around the world who believe in freedom & democracy are wondering if this is just rhetoric or a real shift. My warning to them is I think this is reality. I think Trump is much closer ideologically to Putin & other autocrats than he is to democratic countries."

Hamas will not miss any opportunity to prove how sadistic they are. Even when it involves showing simple respect to the bodies of an elderly man, a mother and her 2 small children.

This should be alarming to everyone.

The Members of the January 6th Committee are protected by the Constitution from arrest for their Congressional duties.

Trump is calling for them to be arrested for performing their congressional oversight role pursuant to Article I of the Constitution.

This year’s prize goes to Liz Cheney. The former congresswoman soared sky-high above politics-as-usual in Washington by taking a principled stand that cost her power, friends and the money that comes with status in the capital.

The ICC has reached a new low in its morally bankrupt and legally baseless attacks against the Jewish state. Congress must now act to sanction ICC officials.

Today’s decision is a shameful stain on the Court and is a threat not only to Israel but to all democracies.
