One way to read stories based on leaked docs: look at time from being circulated to docs getting published β bc thatβs the amount of time it took to a) get someone pissed enough to agree to leak and b) get enough also-pissed people to confirm.

"Unlike the chat in which The Atlantic was included, the newly revealed one was created by Hegseth. Named βDefense | Team Huddle,β it included his wife and about a dozen other people.... He used his private phone, not his government one, to access the Signal chat."

Trump's decision screws over Arizona.
By ripping up this trade agreement, he'll cost our state's economy more than $3.4 billion. He'll put 22,000+ Arizonans out of work. And he'll raise tomato prices by more than half, at a time when we should be working to lower costs.

TONIGHT: @repgregstanton.bsky.social joins @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com on The #LastWord at 10pm ET.
This is a moral moment. Honored to stand along my friend @captmarkkelly.bsky.social tonight at a town hall in Arizona. We must all keep speaking out against the actions of the Trump administration and Congressional Republicans.
βPower without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.β β Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Due process rights are fundamental to our nationβTrump taking them away from one person, is a threat to every one.
Our libraries and library professionals are keystones of our communities fostering minds and offering services to individuals regardless of background. We must lift them up, especially this National Library Week, and demand that Trump and DOGE do not gut support for these vital institutions.
Last year I had the honor of attending the send off for the 44th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, and today I had the pleasure of welcoming them back home in NJ! Thank you Jersey Blues! I am grateful of the service and sacrifice of each of you and your families.
Wishing those who observe a peaceful, joyous, and meaningful Passover.
Grateful that @governor.pa.gov and his family are safe after an apparent act of arson at his residence. Acts of violence have no place in our politics. Those responsible should be held accountable.
Iβve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as Iβm physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:
βWe are not monsters,β the officer told her after she asked if she was safe. βWe do what the government tells us.β

Why?
Because an algorithm said so. 1/
BREAKING: Sens. DURBIN, GRASSLEY, LEE urge the Justice Department to reverse course on plans to shut down vital antitrust field offices, in new bipartisan push.
Grocery prices are still too high.
Big Tech still has too much control over our lives.
Closing antitrust field offices would only make it worse.

Dan Bonginoβs team just sent this βresponseβ of empty platitudes.
We asked about alarming promises he made before his appointment, like mass firing FBI agents and proving Jan. 6 pipe bombs βwere an inside job.β
He owes answers to the American people and Congress.
New reporting shows HUGE WASTE in spending at Guantanamo Bay.
$40 million tab⦠$3 million on empty tents.
Wasteful, inhumane political theater.
Vice President JD Vance dropped the College Football Playoff national championship trophy during an event on the White House South Lawn on Monday.
3/4. If we accept the idea that moving a person from one place to another undoes rights and disempowers the judiciary, we are endorsing the basic Nazism practice that enabled the killing of millions.
i am fascinated by the outright refusal of people in the professional political commentary class to just consider the possibility that there is no plan and that trump really is a braying idiot with the more acute case of narcissistic personality disorder on record
