ALT The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling. By Jeffrey Goldberg

Donald Trump talked about making our military more lethal. Instead, he’s trying to wash away the accomplishments of the Navajo Code Talkers, who helped us win World War II. What a slap in the face to the Navajo community.

This is it, up until now our government had safety rails. They’re gone now. Trump is, without hyperbole, a lawless authoritarian. If he can defy this court order he can defy any court order.

This is a photo of Sir Winston Churchill visiting the White House during the Second World War. He'd have been proud of you today Volodymyr.

Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine. History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for.

Donald Trump is making a deliberate attempt to overwhelm the system, and to overwhelm you. It can be difficult to keep up. And that’s by design.
But we can keep up – and respond. Here’s what he’s doing, and what it means for you. Just the facts. 🧵⤵️

Cory Booker held the door for me today at Union Station. Gave me a smile and we both went our separate ways.... I'm not a Political person but I did appreciate a United States Senator holding the door for a dirty hiker on his way to hike The Appalachian Trail for the 3rd time. 😁

It’s alarming that Elon Musk has access to government payment systems used to deliver Social Security and Medicare benefits.
He also drove out the senior career official at Treasury responsible for preventing a potential default on U.S. debt.
Congress must investigate.

Breaking News: Elon Musk’s lieutenants now have access to the payment system that releases federal funds, after a standoff with a Treasury official.
