Yesterday, Michael Waltz claimed that he’s “never met, don’t know, never communicated with” Jeffrey Goldberg. Here’s a photo of Waltz standing next to Goldberg during a 2021 event at the French Embassy. The event Waltz attended—a Q&A with a French filmmaker—was moderated by Goldberg.

Ossoff: He’s so consumed by his efforts to secure revenge, crush his enemies, and conquer Greenland that he’s doing nothing for the people who elected him. His entire domestic agenda is tax breaks for the wealthy, rounding up immigrants, revenge, and centralizing as much power as he can..

Here’s your reminder that The Atlantic is owned by Laurene Powell Jobs, a woman billionaire. Imagine if this scoop had come to a journalist at WaPo or the LA times, it could well have been buried.

THERE IS NO BOTTOM!

I'm not saying anything novel here but it really is just truly despicable to watch them use THEIR OWN COLOSSAL SCREW UP to slander the reporter THEY INCLUDED ON THEIR CLASSIFIED GROUP CHAT

📌Golly it's hard to see how all this is happening when we have a president who would fail ANY test to get a low-level national-security clearance ... the same test ALL of these public servants he is firing HAD to pass to be hired in our government.

The latest crazy just proves what we all know. They are discussing everything on Signal to avoid any discovery or FOIA or archival laws. So illegal but here we are.

Jack reposted

Hegseth, Waltz and company texting war plans to a reporter on signal is just the tip of the iceberg. This whole administration is full of incompetent, inexperienced, and unqualified clowns. Our national security is compromised in ways we’re just beginning to understand.

the same way the rest of them do it. They just keep lyin' and we let them get away with it

Tammy Duckworth@duckworth.senate.gov

Pete Hegseth never should have been tapped for this job. It's too important. He should be fired immediately.

Patriots cancel cable. Cable subscriptions fund the shitstream media (fox, cnn, etc) whether or not you watch their shows. Plenty to watch on your tv via internet and Roku #PatriotsCancelCable

Think about the last time you passed The Bezos children’s hospital. The Zuckerberg Cancer Centre. The Musk Museum of Science. You haven’t. Because these billionaires are narcissistic nihilists. The only reason the ‘Gilded Age’ robber barons built libraries & universities was to avoid taxation.
