So what are the consequences for Hegseth (or any individual for that matter) that does not provide phone access to an IG during an investigation? His phone was where this was all happening…seems like an important thing to get access to!
Officials reported the Secretary used additional Signal chats for DoD business. IG couldn’t verify content because he refused to provide phone access.

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office.
If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

I think this is one of the strongest, real-time pushbacks I’ve seen from a Democratic politician to how media has posed questions related to governance in the past 9 months.
Republicans are the ones breaking laws and norms. Ask them why they’re doing it!

The US federal government's spending on housing—directly through the budget, or through tax expenditures—amounts to more than $400 billion a year.
Only about 1/4 of that goes to low-income renters. The majority is spent on subsidizing higher-income homeowners.

Why is it that every disappeared US citizen is not front page news? At the very least we should have a little box with a count of the number of citizens who have been taken away and are not locatable and a link to a story with photos & min-bios, just as we used to do with military casually figures.
In Portland, Oregon, masked ICE GOONS abducted and vanished US citizen Gonzalo Catalan last week. Tragically, his family remains unaware of his whereabouts and has not received any communication from him as of today.
