@knittingknots2 I know you're just transmitting the news, Sue, but in 2025, how can anyone be stunned that #MarcoRubio is a hypocrite?

#Signal Chat Leak Angers US #Military Pilots
Men & women who have taken to the air on behalf of the #UnitedStates expressed bewilderment after the leak of attack plans.
“You’re going to kill somebody,” one pilot said.

NOT OK
A. There is NO evidence that #RumeysaOzturk did any of the things #MarcoRubio said. She wrote an op-ed. That’s it.
B. Even if she had participated in #protests, what the #Trump admin did is NOT the process a #visa holder goes through. Normally you receive a notice & have a month. They arrested her on the street w/no notice, took her phone & belongings, threw her in the back of a van, & flew her to a detention center in a different state.
They may as well have black bagged her.
The effort—which could include grand jury subpoenas—marks another escalation of #Trump's aggressive crackdown on #immigration & (what he has labeled as) antisemitism that civil libertarians say stifles #FreeSpeech on campus & has led to several lawsuits.
The idea of prohibiting colleges from enrolling any #StudentVisa-holders grew out of Secy of #State #MarcoRubio's "Catch & Revoke" program, which now is focusing on #students who protested against the war in #Gaza.
Must read: Timothy Snyder on #SignalGate:
"Signalgate: violating national security in order to violate rights"
'Our government is openly compromising our national security, the better to violate our rights. Its position is that it is worth risking the lives of soldiers abroad in order to be able to persecute civilians at home."

Secy of #State #MarcoRubio said in remarks today in Jamaica that someone made a “big mistake” adding #TheAtlantic's editor-in-chief to the #Signal chat that contained info about a #military attack on the #Houthis in #Yemen.
Unlike everyone else in the #Trump admin, he didn’t defame #JeffreyGoldberg.
"Obviously, someone made a mistake. Someone made a big mistake & added a journalist. Nothing against journalists, but you ain’t supposed to be on that thing," Rubio said.
This idiot
#PeteHegseth spouts off on social media:
So, let's me get this straight. The Atlantic released the so-called "war plans" and those "plans" include: No names. No targets. No locations.
"#NationalSecurity advisor has taken full responsibility for this, & the National Security Council is conducting an in-depth review, along w/technical experts working to determine how this reporter was inadvertently added to this chat," #Gabbard testified this morning.
#TulsiGabbard maintained that #classified info was not shared, but called the conversation "candid & sensitive."

Then there’s a bunch of self-congratulating & a ridiculous number of emojis.
#TheAtlantic’s #JefferyGoldberg also published all 18 #Trump officials who participated in this #Signal group chat (19 members with Goldberg counted).
Here Are the Attack Plans That #Trump’s Advisers Shared on Signal
The admin has downplayed the importance of the text messages inadvertently sent to #TheAtlantic’s editor in chief.

#TulsiGabbard was also outside of the #UnitedStates while she took part in the #signal group chat.
“Later in the hearing, #Gabbard also said she was overseas during the time the group chat discussions were underway, but [refused] to say whether she participated using her personal phone.”

#NEW American Oversight is suing #Hegseth, #Gabbard, #Ratcliffe et al, saying their messaging via #Signal is a violation of the Federal Records Act.

Asked if his top #NationalSecurity, #intelligence & #military officials shared classified information on #Signal, #Trump just refuses to answer
"Another question please"
Senator #Ossoff’s questioning of #CIA director #Ratcliffe really was quite impressive.

The #Trump admin is trying to deport *another* student, 21-yr-old #YunseoChung, a legal permanent resident, under the statute authorizing Secy of State #MarcoRubio to remove people deemed threat. She's lived here since childhood.
Chung wasn’t a leader or heavily involved in the protest movement, she only attended a few.
The #US is seeking to deport a person w/a #GreenCard since she was a child because she went to a #protest.
