In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Why were they even talking about Yemen?
More Houthi strikes or something else?
Make the Republicans defend the indefensible. Push their noses in the mess again and again.

Never.

Pam Bondi will turn a very blind eye to this egregious breach of national security because trying to pin a terrorism charge & 20year sentence on someone who keys a tesla is a higher priority for our new DOJ.
They will cover it. We don’t need to attack the friends we do have.
For whoever it was, is anyone articulating the angle that he was kept out of the loop of the PC entirely, if it was all done on Signal? Nice to be left off the crime-ing, but he might have needed some of that info.
Who else, besides Trump Admin and the editor, was on the group? What other illegal Signal groups exist?
He thought a Yemen Bomb was some new cocktail
Hegseth: Waiting a few weeks or a month does not fundamentally change the calculus. 2 immediate risks on waiting: 1) this leaks, and we look indecisive…..
Sharing active operational information with someone without confirming identity?
Sharing said information on an unsecured device?
Sharing said information in an unsanctioned app?
All Illegal under the Espionage Act.
Accidentally becoming your own inside source is going to make one hell of an article even if what was found there can never be disclosed.
In another era, I'd've said this would be a great absurdist comedy movie script because it's charmingly implausible.🫠
Call your congresspeople
Why, what the fuck are they gonna do?
You mean you have never been an out-of-control alcoholic and drunk texted national security secrets? Haven't we all been there at one time or another?
Calling House and Senate members is....well, doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
DICK Durbin's office doesn't even give you the chance to leave a message 😠
this is going to be a long show...
I'm heading to the supermarket for more popcorn and beers... anyone?
Of course Trump’s response (after telling a reporter it was the first he’d heard the story) was to say The Atlantic was a failing magazine.
@gallego.senate.gov
Hugseth needs to be out of the defense and everyone else involved in this blunder also needs to be out and charged!

How are Republicans going to defend this?
He should have marked the messages unread and return the messages to the sender with a big thank you note.
My post was satire.
Meant to laugh at.
But I did a poor job😕
We are a NATION AT RISK 🚨☠️
If you want change, call your Republicans
That U.S. Congressional switchboard number is

I was totally right when I called him #SloppyPete.
And I will also take this moment to remind the country that today’s #SignalScandal is ultimately the responsibility of every single U.S. Senator who voted to confirm this completely incompetent, compromised person for Sec.Def.
The message involved Jim Bowman Vance and Miller
