So, which is it?

If this info wasn’t classified, that in itself would be a scandalous screw-up that must be explained.

And if it was classified, then the Trump administration lied to Congress and to the American people.

A massive, jaw-dropping screwup with major national security implications — and they lied about it repeatedly.

These people cannot be trusted with critical matters of national security and defense.

Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security are the magnificent achievements of American democracy.

There's no way the American people will let Elon Musk and Trump's billionaire cabinet tear down what prior generations have built.

The Musk-Trump administration has been attacking the NIH from Day 1 — disrupting operations while slashing lifesaving medical research. We've even heard DOGE was there TODAY, sowing more fear and chaos.

They are compromising our public health and putting American lives in danger.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.

Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

The President has a duty to take seriously the safety and lives of every American military member.

He must remove Pete Hegseth from his position as Secretary of Defense and Mike Waltz from his position as National Security Adviser.

Their security clearances must be permanently revoked.

Republicans in the Senate voted tonight while no one is watching to fatten Wall Street profits by jacking up overdraft fees on you.

So much for lowering costs.

Donald Trump picked Wall Street executive Frank Bisignano to manage Social Security.

I will question him today in the Senate.

Will he stand up to Elon Musk and protect Social Security benefits or scam seniors out of their retirement?

Smartest crypto quote on @blueksy. And it doesn't have to be $5k. In a country where a large number of people don't have $400 in savings, If a candidate doesn't respect the importance of $100 of crypto to young voters, they will lose them
For someone who works a low paid job but has amassed $5000 in crypto, it’s not just an investment. It’s their ticket out. You do NOT want to threaten that if you want them to vote for you.

DO NOT: Plan or discuss these plans on unsecured channels.

I mean very obviously Hegseth should resign, and if it were a Democratic administration this would be quickly be a consensus position.

Trump froze shipment of millions of dollars’ worth of food to hungry Americans, including 12 truckloads slated for Maryland.

What do we tell hungry families? The president is spending billions on shocking military boondoggles but feeding the hungry is “government waste.”
