Sen. Jack Reed: "If true, this story represents one of the most egregious failures of operational security and common sense I have ever seen."

"The carelessness shown by President Trump's cabinet is stunning and dangerous. I will be seeking answers from the Administration immediately."

Reposted from Kyle Griffin

FLAG: Top Trump officials including JD Vance, Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth, and Tulsi Gabbard planned military strikes on Yemen's Houthis in a Signal messaging group — a group to which they accidentally added The Atlantic editor in chief Jeffrey Goldberg.

Not good enough. This is why we need an independent DOJ and Congress. There should be investigations, hearings, and charges brought in addition to impeachment proceedings against everyone involved

titheading.bsky.social•1 day ago

Go figure, it only gets worse from here. Wait until all those asleep to what’s happening find out in the worst possible way that America stands alone. Any country still willing to share intelligence with us will be committing gross incompetence.

evlokadottr.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yeeeeah we are gonna need more than "seeking answers" at this point ...

tuningfork.bsky.social•1 day ago

Trump has chosen a cabinet of amateurs who are thrilled to be in over their heads with fealty to their Ruler. Devasting intelligence leak shows the Trump Administrations is low-hanging fruit easily exploited by China, Russian, Iran. USA is in serious trouble!

lettergirl2020.bsky.social•1 day ago

The Dems have been handed a prime example of the Trump team's overwhelming incompetence wrapped up in a bow on a silver platter. They must make this unbelievably dangerous gaffe HUGE front page news for the next 3.9 years; basically Benghazi and private e-mail servers on massive steroids x 1,000.
