Warner, with Gabbard and Ratcliffe sitting in front of him: "If this was the case of a military officer or an intelligence officer and they had this kind of behavior, they would be fired."
The Senate Finance Committee held a hearing on Trump’s nomination of Frank Bisignano to lead Social Security. Trump and DOGE are already making it harder to access benefits. A vote for Frank Bisignano to lead the Social Security Administration is a vote to cut Social Security. Period.
Any Republican who was up in arms years ago about emails should be outraged by the Defense Secretary's carelessness. Secretary Hegseth showed a colossal lack of judgement. He put American national security in danger, and he put our troops in danger.
“It’s hard to fathom how this wouldn’t undermine our national security. If the average American did that, they’d lose their clearance, their job, and might even go to jail.” If this is how GOP Senators felt in the past, they must be OUTRAGED right now. Oh. Wait.
For Pete Hegseth to send war plans in such a reckless way puts every single American at risk. He intentionally put highly classified information on an unclassified device. Every single Senator must demand accountability. The Senate must investigate.
Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s real goal: They want to run Social Security to the ground. They want to make Social Security so dysfunctional, so chaotic, so unworkable, in order to justify cutting benefits for the American people. wsj.com/politics/pol...
Trump is directing the Social Security Admin to prevent Americans from signing up for benefits over the phone. This policy is a direct attack from Donald Trump and Elon Musk on America’s seniors making it harder to get the benefits they’ve earned.
If Republicans ever try to move a bill through the Senate that shuts down the Department of Education, we will halt it in its tracks. It will go nowhere. It will be dead on arrival.
The Vice President, Secretary of Defense, Secretary of State, CIA director, and more… Just a stunning breach of military intelligence. If you were up in arms over unsecure emails years ago, you should be outraged by this amateurish behavior.
American war planning usually takes place in highly secure facilities. But the Trump administration planned its strikes on the Houthis using a group chat—and accidentally included The Atlantic’s editor in chief, @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social. theatln.tc/AmsjsuT6
Amateur behavior. This kind of security breach is how people get killed. How our enemies take advantage. How our national security falls into danger. These people are clearly not up for the job. We need a full investigation into how this happened and the damage it created.

Today on this Medicaid Day of Action, I headed to Montefiore Hospital in the Bronx. It’s the only hospital in the Bronx providing comprehensive cancer services, and 2/3s of patients rely on Medicaid and Medicare. Trump is trying to rip away this lifeline so he can give tax breaks to billionaires.

Trump, Musk, and DOGE would use the power of a shutdown to shift into overdrive. And the courts, one of our best places to fight these autocrats, could quickly run out of money. We can’t let this happen.
Donald Trump and Elon Musk want a shutdown to destroy vital government services faster. It would be a disaster. And we have to alert everyone how much pain it would cause the American people. From my interview on @allinwithchris.bsky.social:
