Trump was playing golf while our pilots were flying over Iran? He saw no need to be in a command center and ready for immediate communications. Incompetent or unserious - or both?

Republicans should be extra worried about what Musk is doing with the access and data gathered by DOGE. What is being put together by Palantir, using all that? Is Musk speaking up because he knows he has collected great power, based on data? Or is he just taking too many drugs?

Both frightening and absurd, these tariffs appear to have been created by AI (yhoo.it/3FVVu3e). Just as with the Musk/DOGE cuts in government staffing, the use of AI without thoughtful, informed assessment of the results leads to wrong outcomes (i.e. DISASTROUS). wapo.st/4iQI6ff

This is a really important point. Private Hearings in the Senate are needed to find out how widely this is happening and why.

Three more factors to consider: 1. This group does not trust the established secure communications channels and deliberately selected Signal to avoid other in the US government following their discussion. This would suggest there has been a lot of use of Signal, not just this time.

A friend received notification her Social Security was cut by $600. There was no justification cited. She will contact her local US Congressperson. There is also the possibility it is a scam - lots of vulnerable folks will likely be scammed in this situation as well, such as to click a link.

It was more than a treat for Putin. I believe the ambush was intended to also take our attention away from all the disastrous actions right here in the USA because of Musk and the onslaught of Project 2025 going full speed ahead.

Horrific. Trump is just a bully. This is not diplomacy, this should have been worked out in private, before the meeting. Terrible mis-reading of the strategic situation. Why was this set up this way? Did Trump want a chance to be "strong"? Or was this just another case of gross incompetence.

She sees the game. One response is for Democrats to not help Republicans fund the government unless (1) Musk & crew are blocked from all government access and (2) That funding is short term (3 month) renewed only if Trump is obeying Court orders. Use GOP divisions. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/o...

Sadly, Andy Kim is right. But it is also very tricky to do correctly, so that the voting public comprehends that this is Congress struggling to regain control of the government from Musk and some terrible Trump appointees, rather than Democrats being spoil-sports.

This right at the heart of the matter. I suspect few in Congress comprehend the damage Musk is doing, let alone how it will be compounded as others take their cabinet positions and flounder around cutting and witch-hunting, firing as they go.

Suggestion for getting out government back on track. Have a few Republicans in the Senate and the House admit the threat to our nation, and switch to being Democrats or at least Independents. We ask our troops to die for our country, is a change of party that much of an ask?
