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

Commissioners Bedoya and Slaughter worked tirelessly to hold billionaires and massive corporations accountable, so it's no surprise they've been targeted by Trump and Musk. This is yet another gift from Trump to the rich and powerful that profit off of ripping off consumers.

President Trump’s dismissals of Alvaro Bedoya and Rebecca Slaughter leave Republicans alone at the top of an agency meant to be independent of the White House.

Three-panel graphic featuring Senator Wyden questioning Dr. Oz during his confirmation hearing.

First panel: Sen. Wyden, "Will you oppose cuts to Medicaid?"

Second panel: Dr. Oz [avoids the question]

Third panel: Sen. Wyden, "Let the record show that Dr. Oz will not answer this yes or no question."

Dr. Oz, nominated by Trump to head up Medicare and Medicaid, is all in on the plan to take nurses out of nursing homes.

I am voting no on the CR. Trump and Musk are taking a wrecking ball to vital services for veterans, seniors and kids. I will not support a bill that helps them do it. I will support a clean 30 day CR.

Section 230 and the First Amendment protect free speech online from anyone who wants to undermine it. If you're unfamiliar with the law or need to learn why it's so important, here's a good explainer:

This is what it's all about. Republicans are making it easier for their rich friends and donors to cheat on their taxes while the rest of us pay.
