"We’ve all sent a text to a wrong person, but the bigger problem is they are not using secure phones to discuss war plans," says GOP Rep. and House Armed Services member Don Bacon. "This can get our troops killed. Secure phones are mandatory for these kinds of communications. Russia and China are definitely monitoring their unclassified phones hoping they share info like this."
Bacon adds to me he's "saddened to see how some of the most senior White House leaders 'loathe' Europe."

The level of incompetence here is mind-blowing.
But what shouldn’t be overlooked is the specific substance of the group chat.
There was no emergency.
The executive branch unlawfully sidestepped Congress, taking military action that top officials admit was elective.
The discussion establishes unequivocally that the strikes in Yemen are unconstitutional.
This week's NEW essay is "Mariann Budde Is Not a Hero."
"Budde is no hero, we don’t need heroes, and her brand of liberalism needs to die. In its place, we need a radical left agenda, one that brings about actual, lasting change."

If the hugely popular Bernie Sanders had been the 2020 victor, the United States might have had a chance to build an authentic social democracy that cared for its citizens basic needs.
Biden almost singlehandedly ensured that wouldn’t happen.

The American people are losing one of the greatest champions for working people we've ever had. We are going to be worse off without Lina Khan as chair of the FTC. Her work has been inspiring and seismic.
