Definition: Classified information is data that a government or authorized body designates as requiring a specific level of protection due to national security concerns.
Examples:
Military plans
Intelligence reports
Diplomatic communications
Nuclear security information
Saw the x-script, it’s not as damning as trumps handing out state secrets like they’re egg coupons , but like him they have broken the law and trust of the fairly intelligent and some what educated capable of critical thought🤷♂️
When the USA had a real President, anyone risking the LIVES of our military members would have been imprisoned immediately. And after a trial, probably sentenced to life in prison or execution. What does Trump do? Trump brags about their idiocy.
I was wondering if Trump prefers to not be bothered with the details and so isn’t on the text chain and didn’t know anything about what was texted when the story broke. Busy playing a round of golf at Mar-a-Lago on March 15th?
Waltz and Hegseth may have added Jeffrey Goldberg knowing full well he is a responsible journalist, in an attempt to sabotage the Trump administration. We can spin this as well as Fox News.
The Director of National Intelligence is the one person in all the USA who should know that sharing any information on unsecured cybermedia is like giving it to the Russians. She is not qualified to be the DNI. These people live, breath, eat sleep Spycraft for years. It is a deep, important game.
And exposing attack plans to others is actually worse than exposing war plans. I’m glad this incident shows us how much and how many are willing to lie. Even under oath.
BAHAHAHA! Just to be clear, is this referring to #idiottrump hiring a bunch of F**KING IDIOTS to run the most powerful military on Earth? What a CIRCUS!

I agree, somewhat. Mr. Goldberg was right to keep that CIA employee's name private, regardless of what the liars claim, because publishing their name might bring harm to them or their loved ones. Just because the regime harms civil servants & military members isn't a pass for our press to do so.
Somebody needs to tell Trump/Vance that we SOLD Greenland to Denmark in like 1916. We received $25 million and 2-3 Caribbean islands like St Thomas. I believe it was Woodrow Wilson. So, taking it back would be stealing/act of war
Yes, I guess I was wrong about US "owning" Greenland ... we merely has a "claim" to the northern part for military interests. Here is the article I read that refers to Eoodrow Wilson telling the Danes they can forever own it
Why was the Commander in Chief included? Why weren't there members of the Air force and Navy included. Do we no longer have a Head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff?

Is it just a coincidence that the instructions then matched what subsequently happened? Attack plans vs Battle Plans. There is no difference between the two. The information passed/leaked in Signal was about and detailed a battle plan, and not a war plan.
Technical term used is Strike Plan. This was a Strike Plan. And it was supposed to be a secret. But Pete’s a drunk. He has very bad decision making skills. This time he was lucky. It will only get worse.
The depth of dishonor, failure & damage of current POTUS, VP & minions has no bottom. A stain on their honor, their families, their party, their communities and our nation. We elected a convicted felon with a lifetime record of dishonor, bankruptcies and failed relationships. Now their tyranny. sad!

The integrity of the public to put its money where its mouth is or the paper to have the resources to protect its reporter from a fascist, anti-semetic Gestapo?
Mixed views. Plenty of articles can be pay-walled without a problem. Should this kind of information be? I'm not convinced. At the very least it shouldn't be hard to get a friend link. That's how I kind of balance things. I do pay-wall my own content, and I also provide friend links all over social.
You know who should pay? The tech bros who took all the ad revenue then refused to pay a single red cent to republish the work of legacy journalists' on their trillion-dollar platforms (yes I'm looking at you, Meta, Google, Apple et al)
We all make choices where we spend our money, regardless of current or former employment.
If free speech is important to you and journalism that resists fascism is also important to you, this is one time to recognize that paying for your paper is important.
As an honorably-discharged American veteran, all freedoms matter to me. Including the freedom of being informed.
You want to write a news story? Great. Don't expect to get paid for every word. If it is of civic importance, it should be freely given, for the betterment of all.
I work in the nonprofit sector and haven't had a raise or even a COLA since Covid. Work full time, but literally cannot afford a $79.99 subscription to ONE publication. I have a Wired sub ($12 a year) in order to support journalism. Best I can do. Good thing I already believe the story.
I'm a 20yr usaf vet and held a TS clearance, Whisky Pete committed a security breach of massive proportions and everyone else on that chat is equally guilty, they didn't stop it , amn Teixeira is in prison for 15yrs for less of a security breach
I appreciate the reporting you folks have done on this, but why the hell are you sticking this story behind a paywall? A story this important should be accessible to *everyone*.
Unfortunately most ppl doesn't know about classified information, etc. they haven't had a security clearance or been responsible for classified information. The ppl that know, know this is classified Information and using an unclassified system is not allowed. That's it..
We need to protest at the homes of members of the House and Senate both democrats and Republican. We need to protest at the homes of Cabinet members. We need to protest at the homes of CEOs that donated to the Trump administration. We need to protest at the wakos advisors homes to the Trump admin.
If this was a mistake under the Biden administration, Fox, OAN & all of the Red Hat Sheep that are making excuses would be F**KING LOSING IT. But #idiottrump & his clown car selection of Military “leaders” like drunken HEGSETH and incompetent Waltz expect this NASTY SECURITY BREACH to disappear
Living with paraplegia means daily challenges. I'm raising funds for an enclosed mobility scooter to boost my independence and improve my quality of life. Every donation truly matters. Your support means the world to me. More details on my GoFundMe. Donating or sharing is great. https://gofund.me/0af928df
I live in a large military town and I can say people are really pissed off because Hegseth was reckless with the lives of everyone carrying out that mission.
With even Republicans are questioning the legality of the communication over Signal, the Journals released the type of comments shared by Hegseth apparently not sharing exact targets etc. And then, oh course trump signals his innocence by claiming he didn't know.
Honestly, if this Signal app was not supposed to be used for any classified info, what more needs saying? They USED it! Bad news for them they incompetently included a reporter. Good news for our citizens and the military he WAITED to release it!
Bring Your Wife to a sensitive US Military Secret Classified Attack meeting day!
Unqualified & incompetent Hegseth Brought Wife to Sensitive Meetings with Foreign Military Officials

@jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social handled this ethically and honorably from the beginning — more than we can say of the clowns who breached security protocols and then lied to cover it up. I'm proud to be a subscriber of @theatlantic.com and appreciate your journalism every day. Thank you!
I would like to know what exactly has been achieved by these strikes. I keep hearing "great success" but no details. Who has been killed & is the Suez canal free from danger now? Why wouldn't people know who the Houthis are? They've been in the headlines since the present Israel-Hamas war started.
These are some smooth operators. So, just like in the farcical Tinseltown B grade, teen vehicle sketch film for some celebrity, the stereotypical Ivy League dudes are creeps or drunks, while the head of national security is born of the same situational management that Don Cheeto got his manyaccolade
So much respect for Jeffrey Goldberg and your platform for having the respect for our military, that this Republican administration does not, and for standing up to them as well!!
Stop the madness. The answer is Gay Valimont and Josh Weil running for the house in Florida's Special election April 1st. Send donations now. Flip the house!
Ok like, yes, absolutely do that, but that's not the *answer*, it's one small move that might help. Democrats aren't showing they have the will to resist. Vote out republicans, for sure, but don't count on that as a solution. At best it's a small victory.
What victories? The #idiottrump administration has been a F**KING DISASTER since day one. The entire WORLD hates USA bc of that clown and his circus of incompetence!
I wish you to see and to realize, that so long as you are on your guard you have nothing to fear; but that if you are indifferent, nothing can be as you would wish
@jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social … I’m sure you understood the personal and professional risks of sharing this information with the public, but good on you for doing it anyways. Modern day hero if you ask me.
I am very proud to be a subscriber to the Atlantic.
Please let us know when you sue the hell out of those who defamed Mr. Goldberg!
If the Press Secretary is willing to call someone w/impeccable journalist records, someone who spreads “hoaxes” & do so with impunity, our nation is screwed.

Wonder how long it'll be before trump has his DOJ charge Jeffrey Goldberg and the Atlantic with treason for publishing the texts? It shouldn't be long now. They've found a scapegoat to take the public heat off of them. But still, GOOD ON YOU GUYS FOR DOING THIS!
Your ass off your Trump plan Trump is not intelligent. Eli is no more intelligent than him. The other one who wants to help agency is actually chilling cheese with vitamin levels that are chewing them who thought didn’t kill an attic would not fuck up.
WE THE PEOPLE
WE DEMAND THE ARRESTS OF DONALD J. TRUMP, ELON MUSK, JD VANCE, PETE HEGSETH, MIKE JOHNSON, PAM BONDI, MARCO RUBIO FOR HIGH TREASON AGAINST THE UNITED STATES BY AIDING
RUSSIAN LEADER VLADAMIR PUTIN IN HIS ATTACK UPON UKRAINE
THERE IS NO IMMUNITY FOR TREASON,
WHY is nobody SCREAMING the fact that the RELEASED texts are NOT the entirety of that group chat?
Goldberg said clearly that he couldn't read MOST of the texts during his interview on CNN BECAUSE MOSTOF THAT CHAT WAS CLEARLY AND OBVIOUSLY CLASSIFIED!?!?!
PLEASE remind the world that there's MORE!!!
I've read them. Seems pretty obvious to me. We indiscriminately bombed civilians to take out a bad guy that Israeli Intel told us about. Then a bunch of frat bros patted each other on the back for it in an unsecured group chat in front of ppl w/o clearance to see the classified details. A Hegseth
I’m going to push back against this “we wouldn’t have done this without Israeli” undercurrent to what you just said. Houthis are unambiguously holding the Red Sea hostage, and they will not stop with peace in Gaza, as they have unambiguously stated their goal is death to America and Israel.
You are fully right to criticize Hegseth and the decision to bomb an apartment building filled with civilians. But we would be taking action against the Houthis, regardless of Israel, and they would be attacking, regardless of Israel. The Yemeni conflict is a proxy battle for Iran and Sunni states.
A great deal of conflicts in the Middle East are the consequence of this proxy battle. Iran funds Hizbollah and Hamas, and October 7th was planned to sabotage Saudi Israeli normalization talks.
Thank you for clarifying. The reason I pushed back is that, while I am not Jewish, many of my loved ones are, and I have seen people present Israel as the root cause of police brutality in the US, unpopular policies. We’re fucked up on our own, imo.
Definitely not my intent. It was just mentioned in the story that these dolts burned Israeli Intelligence, so I included the fact that we exposed an ally. Cuz, you know, we suck right now.

Examples:
Military plans

Making this available internationally and with no paywall shows that journalism is still alive and well in some cases
I cannot thank you enough for your handling of this situation
Inspiring

you know every television in the House of Fascism will be tuned in to that show....
We went from competent people of color and women to a bunch of incompetent boorish white males who needed executive orders to be relevant
Stay tuned in Tik Tok because the Chinese need to know our plans...
Fucking idiots.
Unsecured devices get hacked. They were publicly embarrassed, Exposed. By someone.
You might be thinking about the Danish West Indies deal in 1917?
They are guilty. By a large margin.
MIKE WALTZ IS A LIAR 🤥
TULSI GABBARD IS A LIAR 🤥
JD VANCE IS A LIAR 🤥
THEY NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE!

This is important for ALL Americans, not just subscribers.
Some people can't afford or simply wouldn't pay to see this.
EVERYONE should have the opportunity for free because the value outweighs any monetary gain.
Great journalism should absolutely be funded by the public where possible and people will donate in this case
Journalism & integrity must exist to fund it
If free speech is important to you and journalism that resists fascism is also important to you, this is one time to recognize that paying for your paper is important.
That is all.
You want to write a news story? Great. Don't expect to get paid for every word. If it is of civic importance, it should be freely given, for the betterment of all.
Disgusting liberals don't care about the crime, just that ot was made public

Thank you ❤️🇨🇦❤️
Also: it´s beyond classy of you to paraphrase the horrible things they spat at you and your reporter as "assertations... that we´re lying." Bravo!
I knew most of Trump's leadership picks were incompetent. Now I now they are evil and treasonous.

Destroy the world.
🤔
Maybe they should also “do their own research” via utoob & podcasts.
Put up the laws, highlight relevant passages, notate. That is responsible “reporting.”
Please let us know when you sue the hell out of those who defamed Mr. Goldberg!

and i have plenty more tricks up these sleeves 😎stay tuned
You would reach more people, when you add a good description into the Alt-text field.
That is pretty easy, especially, when your image just contain text.
This way, you support visually impaired people and everyone else, who rely on a good filled Alt-text.

I wasn't trying to point the finger at Israel for giving us Intel. It was just an interesting fact in the story.
"He who acts to save his country from tyranny, domestic terrorism, Project 2025, and radical right wing criminals, violates no laws.”
