Screenshot of a Twitter/X thread showing the Democrats (@TheDemocrats) posting that Pete Hegseth "needs to go," Hegseth responding that their agenda of "illegals, trans & DEI" are no longer allowed at the DoD, and Democrats replying "Pete's POV:" with an image of a smartphone screen showing multiple apps with notification badges, implying Hegseth is distracted by his phone — a reference to reports about his use of Signal and other apps for sensitive communications.

Give this staffer a raise.

They paused Oversight Committee hearings the minute we started getting answers about the Epstein files.

Now it’s “roundtables”: no rules, no oaths, no subpoenas.

You do the math. Because the moment accountability shows up, they shut it down. The survivors deserve better.

There is a reason Watergate was broken by Woodward & Bernstein on the metro desk AND NOT by the White House press corps.

Izzy Stone was mocking White House reporters as useless back in the 1950s

HUGE WIN! H.R. 1897 the bill that would have gutted Endangered Species Act protections for threatened and endangered species has been pulled from today’s House floor vote. Your calls and pressure worked. Thank you for speaking up.

no longer follow but seemed was beyond all in so have to imagine so

Washington Post Editorial Board headline: “The Texas gerrymander freak out. What’s happening in Texas is not a threat to democracy.”

Washington Post Editorial Board headline: “Virginia plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss. The redistricting scheme was always a power grab by Democrats. Voters went along with it.”

The Washington Post Editorial Board was fine with Republicans gerrymandering in Texas.

But when Democrats responded in Virginia, it’s a “power grab” that “plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss.”

Trump fought to keep the ballroom fundraising contract secret. Here’s what’s in it. The agreement governing hundreds of millions in private donations was kept secret until a watchdog group sued and a judge ordered it disclosed.

SCOOP: Trump's secret contract for White House ballroom fundraising shielded donors and excluded White House from conflict-of-interest safeguards.

It took a lawsuit from @publiccitizen.bsky.social and a judge's order to make it public. w @ddiamond.bsky.social

Opinion | Trump Corrupts, and Absolute Trump Corrupts Absolutely

“To say that President Trump is corrupt is to somehow understate the size, scope and magnitude of his corruption.

It is as if you were to describe a modern thermonuclear device as a ‘bomb.’ That is true enough, but it is not quite the truth. It does not capture the nature of the thing in full.”

NO suit or tie - where's the outrage?

The midterm gerrymandering war and the Iran war alike show Trump's inability to imagine that the people he's picking fights with have any agency, any ability to respond.

He loves his "you don't have the cards" metaphor but he's amazingly terrible at actually thinking about whether they do.

@tkeck44.bsky.social whoa-go avas go

What a deep, tremendous shame. I don’t think opponents of Trump need to self flagellate over his monstrous actions but we do need to acknowledge what was done in the name of our country, and that it will make it less and less likely anyone ever lifts a finger to help us again.

this man is pure evil.

IN his defense, it is a long flight to go where no one wants you and the plane still prob has the Noem stench

WYDEN: What you are describing is fiction

How many laws can he break? Ask congress.

she should stay away from windows; and it still prob won't matter

GALLEGO: Earlier today, you told Sec. Kennedy that Trump never demanded you to cut interest rates. Is that your sworn testimony?

WARSH: That is, senator.

GALLEGO: Okay. Well someone here is lying then. Because Trump confirmed he pressed you on interest rate cuts.

worse - Vance plane took off

because it's clearly not - it's nearly as solid as saying what time it is

@SecWar: The War Department is once again restoring freedom to our Joint Force. We are discarding the mandatory flu vaccine requirement, effective immediately. 21 Apr 26

Washington ordered smallpox inoculations for the Continental Army beginning in 1777.

Hegseth, therefore, is taking a mid-18th century, pre-Industrial Age approach to medicine and warfare.
