Be aware that government records belong to the government—& the American people. And that those records can hold people w/political power ACCOUNTABLE for what they do. The accountability of politicians to the people who gave them power is the ESSENCE of democracy. Signal prevents accountability.

Musk and Trump are trying to dismantle the VA by laying off 83,000 employees.   They are sacrificing the needs of our veterans to give tax breaks to billionaires.   That is something that the American people — Republicans, Democrats, and Independents — will never support.

Nothing says "coup" quite like a loyalty test for the military! Taken to its logical conclusion: Mump will direct the US military against American citizens. Congress, are you still happy giving up all of your power and authority?

Pay attention to this. Replacing JAGs with loyalists enables whatever orders Trump and Hegseth issue to be interpreted as lawful.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Someone should ask them what that means. Precisely. Define it. They won’t be able to because it’s a deliberately meaningless buzzword for hate.

BBC News on hour reporting straight that Trump has got rid of military chiefs because ‘they’re too mired in woke culture’ 🤯🤯🤯 Traditional liberal democratic media still hasn’t learned how to report on authoritarians, even now when it’s almost too late
