…the Trump Administration has been lying—and continues to lie—about the confidential war plans shared by Secretary Hegseth in an unsecured Signal chat.
The latest text messages confirm that in yesterday’s Senate Intelligence Committee hearing, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe lied under oath in their testimony. Perjury is a crime, and they should be prosecuted.
The apparent disregard for legal consequences is the true test of law and order in America. The willingness to make demonstrably false statements suggests these blaringly loud “Trumpets” are attempting to establish themselves beyond accountability, challenging the very foundation of our legal system through their negligent harm to American military and intelligence operations.
Every American across the country—especially active and retired military personnel—must recognize the extraordinary severity of Hegseth’s actions. By willfully and carelessly compromising classified information, with clear admissions of disregard for security protocols, he illegally placed service members’ lives at risk.
Those defending or obscuring these actions aren’t merely enablers; they are active participants in undermining the national security framework designed to protect America from its adversaries.
Some excellent reporting and analysis can be found in Noah Shachtman’s new piece. It makes the Trump family house sound like a 1970s African dictatorship run by the Soviets:
This is something different: the erosion of America’s ability to keep any secrets at all. The second Trump administration is treating security like just another stale Washington convention, an annoying impediment to its ambitions to move fast, break the bureaucratic state and replace it with an all-powerful executive. The bros in tech and finance don’t have to deal with these creaky, fussy restraints. Why should the White House? Major adversaries pray for this level of chaos, confusion and opportunity.
Private contact details of the most important security advisers to U.S. President Donald Trump can be found on the internet. DER SPIEGEL reporters were able to find mobile phone numbers, email addresses and even some passwords belonging to the top officials.
Wow, what year is this already? Hands free cross-country driving was promised by the CEO of Tesla to be solved by 2017, along with boasts of delivering the safest car on the road because it won’t even crash. And yet here’s yet another tragic red light runner death instead… going nearly 100 mph in a 40?
Aurora police said the driver of the Tesla reportedly ran a red light at South Airport Boulevard and collided with a vehicle in the northbound lane that had the right of way with a green light. The Tesla subsequently spun out and crashed into two more vehicles — one of which was an Aurora police vehicle that was stopped in the intersection.
The officer was not hurt, but two adults and four children suffered injuries, in addition to the driver of the Tesla who died on scene.

The officer conducting speed enforcement said he clocked the Tesla going 97 miles an hour in a 40 mph zone.
Per my earlier post about Tesla safety marketing, their FSD is only able to go 200 miles (maybe 400 at the most) without an intervention. So, here’s an interesting update on a 2026 model.
