Let’s not call them the “DOGE Bros” or the Musk-rats.

Let’s call them the MUSK-ovites.

WTF Warner says certainly should be taken out of the country... they should be deported, sure but is he ok with sending them to a 3rd country?

I want to vomit. The enemy within: Hegseth, Gabbard, Ratcliffe & Patel. Trump flips the bird to the Constitution, our Intel community, the nation and our Military. He is careless because he does not give a damn.

Such a great point. He must have cut and pasted from another doc. How is it classified?

That was a gobbledygook answer from Warner about due process for immigrants. It sounded like a lot of words to say they are going to do nothing. People are being kidnapped off the streets, handcuffed, head shaved and shoved an slapped on to a plane without any way to defend themselves. "My Republican friends will find their voice?" No, they won't. Dem legislators are going to need to be much louder about this.

Maybe it would help explain this travesty if their salaries and requisite perks were published. I'll be mad if my social security checks are disappeared, and madder when I see that my annual is 1% of their annual.

I suspect that, when the turkeys involved in the Signal chat claim that nothing was “classified,” they mean that nothing was classified YET. It obviously was not MARKED classified. They’re using a loophole in that, when oral material is generated, it can’t be marked “classified” until someone classifies it. But this is exactly the kind of information that should be marked “classified” when the written records are are prepared.

Is there any way to get the people back from El Salvador, or are they just gone forever?

I guess there are a lot of tones of voice you might be imagining me saying that in, but I'm horrified; terrified for them; and so so sad.

I appreciate that you keep bringing it up Tim.

even for casual conversation this is amazingly unprofessional conduct. Our local government secures all devices. Nothing gets loaded without being reviewed to ensure that it won't compromise the broader network. We communicate differently on email than text, but never, ever would anyone that I know communicate in such a cavalier fashion. I am disgusted by the incompetence of these people. And embarrassed for our country

The sharing of intel by the US allies was already in question when Tulsi Gabbard was appointed, as I understand it; this must surely massively compound that.

His responses are why we are alarmed. It's as if he's not alarmed that legal US citizens have been denied basic civil rights AND that our safety is in jeopardy, not to mention our Allies trust in us.

Great interview. So informative to hear from one in the Senators in the room. No emojis on government issued devices!!
