The president was “surprised to learn” the message to his attorney general went out to 10 million people.

Donald Trump accidentally posted an incendiary private message to Attorney General Pam Bondi on his public Truth Social account… According to The Wall Street Journal, Trump believed he was sending Bondi a private message, insisting she prosecute his nemesis and former FBI director, James Comey, along with other targets.

RawStory adds: “the President of the United States communicating with his cabinet via Truth Social direct message is both insane and a violation of the Presidential Records Act,” former Obama administration staffer Dan Pfeiffer posted on X.

    the heads of the dnc would still rather lose to a fascist than endorse a democratic socialist

    So then maybe not give a shit who they endorse and just vote for progressives running in the Dem primaries regardless. Just like when Bernie ran for Senator, and when AOC ran for the House, and when Mamdari ran for mayor. If enough voters show up for the available candidates, then the DNC heads don’t have any fucking choice in the matter.

      I didn’t say to do otherwise?

      My point was that we need to vote out the old guard who fall over themselves to compromise with conservatives any chance they get.

      One of the problems we have to deal with is that the old guard has a lot of influence over where election funding is spent. People like Mamdari might be an outlier that candidates in more rural localities may not be able to copy.
