If the handling of the classified material found at Mar-A-Lago had been handled according to the laws on our nation, this never would happened. Those downplaying that security compromise are totally complicit in this egregious security failure…
Washington Post: “The Social Security Administration website crashed four times in 10 days this month, blocking millions of retirees and disabled Americans from logging in to their online accounts because the servers were overloaded. “And the phones keep ringing and ringing.”
Endless irritating events day after day. Why don't they just drop a bomb on us and get it over with. Maybe that will finally make MAGA happy! Oh by the way:
An abrupt shutdown of Social Security will be catastrophic. causing human suffering on a scale not seen since the Great Depression. Millions of American people will be forced into poverty, homelessness, and hunger virtually overnight. Crime, desperation, and suicide rates will explode.
The truth is laid bare—this is not governance, but predation. When leaders prioritize personal profit over human survival, when they slash lifelines with no remorse, no plan, no empathy, they reveal a savage indifference to the people they swore to serve.
This is not just policy failure—it is moral bankruptcy.
Agreed, and from everything I can see, this regime is very happy for that to be the case. I've seen no evidence whatsoever that they care about the life or wellbeing of any citizen other than the inner circle or those who can be useful in profiteering.
The former head of the Social Security Administration, Martin O'Malley, predicts a near-total breakdown within 90 days of the current shitshow.
Think of that. A former head of SSA watching all this catastrophic nonsense unfold, predicts the system --- at least insofar as human services go --- will suffer a breakdown because of the actions of this administration.
"Endless irritating events day after day. Why don't they just drop a bomb on us and get it over with. Maybe that will finally make MAGA happy!" Right now, we should be planning for the future—saving for our children’s education, dreaming of family vacations, building careers and retirement plans with confidence. Instead, we are forced to consider darker questions: Will our rights be stripped away? Will we have to flee to stay safe? Is this the week the next crisis hits?
As though a cumbersome system would just be too much of a pain in the ass. So why not send sensitive information right out in the open? So what if it could jeopardize our armed forces! Honestly -
In normal times, this would be appropriate. These are not normal times. No Republicans (trumplicans) are going to demand resignations and terminations. The Democrats and everyone else can make these demands, but those same Republicans (trumplicans) will ensure that our demands are ignored.
We demanded resignations and terminations after Jan 6 and all we got was a trump sequel. I am so tired and frustrated at feeling impotent. These people work for us. We hired them to represent our interests and after they kiss our asses for donations and votes, we are so beneath them they won’t even take a phone call. Trump and Musk are dangerous. People are dying - suspiciously. Can’t leave the country because other countries have made it clear - they don’t want us. We have a Second Amendment that gives the right to bear arms FOR TIMES LIKE THIS RIGHT NOW. When our government has gone rogue. I want these people gone but I have no power and let’s face it - millions of us together have no power. I don’t want another investigation. I want a trial and a conviction and a sentence before the muskrat and his thugs come to my door.
Adam - what are we supposed to do? Wait on the Democrats? Wait on the Calvary to protect us? Or wait on martial law to lock us up for speaking up? I worked for the IG at DHS in Investigations. If they see my Facebook I know I’m getting a visit. But I’ll be damned if I will stay quiet.
and yet there are a significant portion of Americans who still support this and believe every rationalization they give for any mistakes made or demonize the person who reports it. Hegseth's response to a question about this was dismissive and used propaganda adjectives to describe the journalist who was welcomed into the chat. I was on a chat that has all types of political persuasions and the maga's were saying the reporting is fake and false or Dems fake news.
I'm so with you, Sheryl. I wrote a note to Adam just a moment ago about the very same thing. If I hadn't attended the Bernie and AOC rally in Denver recently, I would be even more depressed.
I would like to learn about some concrete steps we can take, in addition to continuing to hound the invertebrates in congress. Yes, I know, VOTE the bastards out of office at the midterms, but really, we need action now.
AOC and Bernie, as much as we might like/dislike them and agree/disagree with what they say, are the WRONG people to be carrying this message---tRumpf voters will never listen to them. Instead we need centrists who can get interviewed on Fux news and other such outlets and get the actual ear of some significant segment of the deluded, ignorant voters who voted for the Manchurian Canteloupe. Only when those people get some actual information and begin to process how profoundly they have been hoodwinked, will there be voters to vote in a better congress.
But between now and then what actions can be taken? I would like to hear.
I don’t think “centrist” is a term that applies to the current political landscape. I get what you’re saying, but take issue with the idea that left and right are represented in the current body politic. These people are off the axis! I am hoping for a new generation of political leaders who refuse to be categorized by the tropes and lies that we are fed. Politics for regular people. Support for working families, support for the middle class. Reasonable controls on business. Appropriate taxation of billionaires and corporations so that they pay their fair share of taxes. Healthcare that doesn’t leave families bankrupt. Money OUT OF ELECTIONS. This isn’t left or right. It is simply correct.
Start with going to www.mobilize.us and see what is happening in your area. Contact your local Democratic office or local Indivisible chapter. There are tons of things going on! Look up 5 calls app which guides you through calling your Reps/Senators. Find out who is your local State Rep/Senator and call them as a lot of what is happening in Washington (DOGE) is starting to happen in States. I call my US Senators and Reps every week.
I bought some basic post cards, blank, and a pulled out my fun pens. I got a postcard list from Activate America and on a topic to help folks re Medicaid and am writing and sending the postcards.
I am talking to anyone I come across and encouraging people to take even small actions daily or regularly.

Prayers for our country. Grateful to Adam and blessings to you all!!
Thanks for this list! I do email and call the reps/sens, about every week, but it seems to have no effect. On the other hand, if EVERYONE called/wrote weekly, they'd be flooded, and that might work better. So I'll keep it up and hope others will keep on and more will join in, too.
There will be no real midterm elections. That is why Trump is currently setting up the rhetoric around "we have very fraudulent and corrupt elections". So he will "fix" the system, then every election hence will be rigged. Just like Russia and so many other countries with authoritarian regimes. If you want to know what to do, you need to start researching how other countries overthrew THEIR corrupt governments.
They are in the minority. Oh, I've written to my two Republican senators (no, I did not vote for them), with the link to the Atlantic article about this and a note "This is what you voted for during Hegseth confirmation - are we great yet?". And I do advise we keep flooding them with stuff like that - maybe one of them decides to grow a spine or something. But as long as the GOP controls all branches of the government, our options are limited. I don't think it will sink in until Russians land in Alaska.
The hypocrisy should not be overlooked. We knew a man who kept documents in a bathroom in his house and waved confidential information around at a party wasn’t presidential material. All of this BS about removing security clearances from people when they should be removing them from their own cabinet members. The President’s comment is only to show disdain for The Atlantic. He should be kissing Jeffrey Goldberg’s feet.
The first thing that demented fraud did was to attack The Atlantic. What a fucking loser, incompetent, irresponsible fraud. What an obvious corroboration of EVERYTHING Jeff Goldberg said.
They should be thanking Goldberg for alerting everyone to this outrageous lapse. He did not divulge anything sensitive as he knows better than those in the group chat. This likely is business as usual for this bunch. Too bad it wasn't in emails... "Lock 'em up!"
My husband as a group commander would have been fired! No cel phones in the scif (sp)?. He can't bring his computer and work outside the country with his job right now because he works indirectly for the government and it's not even top secret stuff. God help us with this incompetent senior officials
The idea of Trump, and his team of clowns, being held accountable for anything, is laughable. The DOJ is now Trump’s personal police force and soon the Judicial system will be rendered impotent.
Possibly. But I pray that the Judicial system, including SCOTUS, recognizes what is happening and will issue rulings that defend and preserve our Constitutional Federal Republic (democracy).
They will be dismantled inside 6 months. If Trump says "no more judicial system that looks like this", and they are removed, there is nothing they can do. That is the point of this whole exercise. Or just be like Russia, where they have all the trappings, but when is Putin ever prosecuted for the endless things he does? He's been doing it for 25 years unscathed.
Trump will downplay this and the media here and around the world need to keep this story in the headlines, no matter how desperately he and his cronies want to distract us 24/7!
I give it 24 hours before the news cycle has moved on to some other, potentially more outrageous violation of the public trust committed by this administration, and the legacy media will happily sweep it aside like everything else before it. Shame.
With so many corrupt and likely illegal misAdministrative actions being taken on an hour-by-hour basis, it is no wonder that anyone, the media included, can maintain focus on any single one of them for long.
Maybe he'll try to annex Greenland or something ..... it's remarkable - everything Trump touches withers and dies - the man really does have a knack ....
So knowing how serious this is, what a violation this is, there must be actions taken by judges, or whoever else has any power to bring these men to justice. They should be indicted they should be impeached they should be removed from our government! This cannot be swept under the rug. This is absurd. Please tell me you’re planning some kind of action.
Maybe I just woke up on the wrong side of the bed today, but I have lost all faith and any expectation that anything even approaching justice will ever materialize in regard to anyone in this administration.
I’d hate to say this, but I tend to think you’re right. I don’t quite understand it however this is what I am seeing also! He gets a pass on everything is fear also driving common sense and the rule of law?
Anybody who's ever had a security clearance has it drilled into their heads that classified and unclassified computer, phone, information systems are NEVER stored, shared, blended, mixed-up together. At even lower levels of classification, they're not even in the same room -- precisely to prevent security breaches. You have access to such systems only at your level of clearance, never above, and then ONLY on a 'need to know basis.' Higher-level intel, operations planning, targets, systems are NEVER shared outside a SCIF. You can't even bring a cell phone or an Apple Watch into a SCIF. You can't take notes, let alone text little power emojis to your 'bro' pals. You take nothing in, you bring nothing out.
And nobody without an active security clearance can ever be "looped in" to the most classified briefing imaginable. It would be like President Obama texting the publisher of the New York Times with "hey, get this: we're about to take out Bin Laden, stay tuned." Or worse, brought him into the planning room without his (or anybody else's) knowledge or consent.
In the middle of this unimaginable clusterfuck, the Little Maybelline Bitch blurts out that he wasn't sure "how much POTUS is aware of this." I cannot imagine a greater, more impeachable offense than to be so illiterate, so incurious, so incompetent, so out of it, and so unqualified to be CINC that you had no idea American personnel who report to YOU are about to start a top-secret attack supposedly on your orders.
These morons and bumblefucks aren't fit to run a hamburger joint, let alone direct national security. Had Republicans a single ball between 'em, impeachment proceedings against the whole lot should already have started.
I have called my reps, unable to reach my R Rep. Hardy phone message or email. I called my Dem. Senators about the national security issue. Although it's not a party thing (I am registered Independent, never voted R in my life- Nixon and choice!) I am a retired RN, MPH, and US Army Reserves medical officer ( as I always tell them). I tell them that it's not a party issue, it's a fascism issue, although I have long (and well informed) believed that musk/trump, if not Russian assets, are certainly aligned. I hope people call their R senators especially, there are Senate hearings today.
I've called and written, signed petitions, and I'm feeling very tired. How long can I keep involved when our own party has betrayed us in numerous ways?
Also, I have watched about a dozen prior military and intelligence officers that have worked under multiple administrations and I haven't heard why the journalist was added... I mean, I usually know who I add to my group chats. I think we need to know the answer to that
Look, we should be thanking god he was added! Otherwise this and how many other of their little chats would have gone unnoticed. Maybe there's a secret patriot on the list after all who sees how insane it has gotten.
I agree. In fact, I suspect that they have been using Signal to communicate with each other about anything and everything -especially, if, as Adam indicates, it avoids being entered into the Federal historical record. That would be a good way to prevent evidence from ever being found in the event of a criminal proceeding.
I don't know that for a fact, but I wouldn't be surprised.
I am old when it comes to internet use but I understand from what I saw from a friend’s post that the data on this server could be wiped clean and not be used in a court of law. Could it be that someone sent this to Geoffrey Goldberg on purpose to bring this issue out into the open. I have also read and I can’t corroborate this but it is something that came out of project 2025. Somebody please enlighten me further
It is totally possible, since at this moment the National Security Advisor is testifying under oath at the Senate that he "does not know" how a journalist without a security clearance was brought into the most classified discussion imaginable. Of course, lying Tulsi Gabbard says there was "discussion around targets" but of course, she can't remember "specific weapons systems." Lots of suddenly very forgetful and clueless people.
I got my enlightenment today from the West Point History Professor on Substack. You all should read it. The plan is brilliant for taking down this unfit administration. Like during the Nixon years there are people of integrity and courage to fight back. You are our heroes along with all those who have fought and given their lives for this country. May God bless you
We all know this will be a memory by Friday; we'll have had several more humiliating catastrophic failures between now and then.
Somehow, it will be The Atlantic's fault, or Biden's, or Canada's, or Hugo Chávez, or it was really brilliant strategy we are just too stupid to realize their brilliance, or it was Monday.
But it's pretty much 100% certain there will be no accountability.
If the handling of the classified material found at Mar-A-Lago had been handled according to the laws on our nation, this never would happened. Those downplaying that security compromise are totally complicit in this egregious security failure…
Washington Post: “The Social Security Administration website crashed four times in 10 days this month, blocking millions of retirees and disabled Americans from logging in to their online accounts because the servers were overloaded. “And the phones keep ringing and ringing.”

NEXT MAJOR PROTEST: April 5th on a Saturday 50 Protests + 50 States https://bsky.app/profile/50501movement.bsky.social
An abrupt shutdown of Social Security will be catastrophic. causing human suffering on a scale not seen since the Great Depression. Millions of American people will be forced into poverty, homelessness, and hunger virtually overnight. Crime, desperation, and suicide rates will explode.

The Democrats and the judicial system would have to be A LOT more responsive than they were the last time!
Or, the republicans could grow spines...
I'd like to see that trick!
That’s exactly right!
As though a cumbersome system would just be too much of a pain in the ass. So why not send sensitive information right out in the open? So what if it could jeopardize our armed forces! Honestly -
Trump is an ass.
You are being so polite, “Ass” is an understatement. trump is Satan Incarnate and far to many republicans are his spawn.
Shouldn’t the Dems / everyone be demanding resignations and terminations? Not just investigations???
In normal times, this would be appropriate. These are not normal times. No Republicans (trumplicans) are going to demand resignations and terminations. The Democrats and everyone else can make these demands, but those same Republicans (trumplicans) will ensure that our demands are ignored.
On the contrary- I’m expecting t-Rump to award the perpetrators of this fiasco with The Presidential Medal of Freedom.
War is Peace
Freedom is Slavery
Ignorance is Strength
1984 has arrived.
Yes, or more accurately, The Presidential Medal of Authoritarianism!
So henceforth, in order to save Social Security
and the VA we are closing all the offices and
opening call centers in Pakistan . It’s a perfect plan / designed by our resident “ genius “
fearless leader.
I prefer to call them "United Russia USA".

Shouldn’t EVERY elected official???? This is not a partisan breach, this is a national security breach.
Trump needs to quit targeting private law firms and get a cabinet that can Protect and Defend.
One would think!
I wrote to my senators and suggested that people need to be removed from their roles... especially Pete Hegseth.
Dems are acc to what I saw in nyt
I’ve demanded both, for what it’s worth. Now if we all marched and made clear demands, that might just work.
YES!

Also, I have watched about a dozen prior military and intelligence officers that have worked under multiple administrations and I haven't heard why the journalist was added... I mean, I usually know who I add to my group chats. I think we need to know the answer to that
Look, we should be thanking god he was added! Otherwise this and how many other of their little chats would have gone unnoticed. Maybe there's a secret patriot on the list after all who sees how insane it has gotten.
I agree. In fact, I suspect that they have been using Signal to communicate with each other about anything and everything -especially, if, as Adam indicates, it avoids being entered into the Federal historical record. That would be a good way to prevent evidence from ever being found in the event of a criminal proceeding.
I don't know that for a fact, but I wouldn't be surprised.
There will be no accountability. This is tRump. The convicted felon's gang.
I totally agree!
There will be no accountability, no repercussions.
I am old when it comes to internet use but I understand from what I saw from a friend’s post that the data on this server could be wiped clean and not be used in a court of law. Could it be that someone sent this to Geoffrey Goldberg on purpose to bring this issue out into the open. I have also read and I can’t corroborate this but it is something that came out of project 2025. Somebody please enlighten me further
It is totally possible, since at this moment the National Security Advisor is testifying under oath at the Senate that he "does not know" how a journalist without a security clearance was brought into the most classified discussion imaginable. Of course, lying Tulsi Gabbard says there was "discussion around targets" but of course, she can't remember "specific weapons systems." Lots of suddenly very forgetful and clueless people.
Emily, excellent point. Now I am thinking similar
Geoffrey has the whole text chain in print.
Legit thought there Emily. Makes sense. This could get (or should get) crazy. We cannot let it go.
I got my enlightenment today from the West Point History Professor on Substack. You all should read it. The plan is brilliant for taking down this unfit administration. Like during the Nixon years there are people of integrity and courage to fight back. You are our heroes along with all those who have fought and given their lives for this country. May God bless you
We all know this will be a memory by Friday; we'll have had several more humiliating catastrophic failures between now and then.
Somehow, it will be The Atlantic's fault, or Biden's, or Canada's, or Hugo Chávez, or it was really brilliant strategy we are just too stupid to realize their brilliance, or it was Monday.
But it's pretty much 100% certain there will be no accountability.
Whereas gop hounded Hilary for a year and spent
They will do some crazy thing like invade Greenland to cause a distraction away from this criminality.
