Dems are fuming over the Trump team's war plan group chat on Signal.

They're also looking for how to make the controversy stick.

Remember republicans voted for and support all trump/musk actions. VOTE in the next election. Stop the insanity.

marie3will.bsky.social•10 days ago

Ok, fume and clutch your pearls, then file the termination paperwork please.

jessefisher.bsky.social•10 days ago

I think they would need to impeach, which they don't have the votes for.

marie3will.bsky.social•10 days ago

Not sure, but there's got to be a way beyond symbolic.

jessefisher.bsky.social•10 days ago

Hope there are a few GOP reps and senators with some amount of conscience? But given they all just voted to rip healthcare away from the poor and elderly, I'm not holding my breath.

marie3will.bsky.social•10 days ago

Yeah, I think some of the ex military Rs might stand up, although there's plenty of support of dysfunctional back$ going on.

wasnt-about-eggs.bsky.social•10 days ago

Great, they're mad about it. 🎉

Are they actually going to DO SOMETHING?

45and47isaclown.bsky.social•10 days ago

This NEEDS to stay in headlines. The public NEEDS to recognize the level of incompetence at the helm.

princemyshkin2.bsky.social•10 days ago

What is the rest of the world thinking? Are we going to share information with this bunch of idiots? Many of our remaining allies must be horrified, this is our worst nightmare.

jessefisher.bsky.social•10 days ago

What you DON'T do is act like this is too serious to take advantage of politically. Hillary's emails were nothing in comparison and the GOP turned it into an election win. There is still some sense with the Dems that politics is a game that you put on the shelf when the day is over. It's just not so

How to make the controversy stick? WTAF?This isn’t an “oopsie” this is extremely dangerous and unprecedented. It puts our military at risk and America at risk.Yeah, we kinda want to make sure it doesn’t happen again. It’s not partisan it’s national security.This type of reporting is why we are here.

Impeaching judges for doing their job, restricting universities for researching, deleting department of education for DEI (i.e. diversity, equity, inclusion), threatening delayed SS checks, etc., okie dokie🦅Felon Admin dogs group chatting up loathing allies and bombing congrats now USA principles?🦅

indivisiblewhills.bsky.social•10 days ago

Here's a thought. You seem to be journalists of a sort. Isn't it kind of YOUR JOB to make this story stick, not some political party?

It's a BIG EFFING STORY.

NYTimes made a cottage industry out of wedding planning emails on a private server. Maybe you could look up their old articles for ideas?

Breaking news: Federal judge has ruled that Jeffrey Goldberg must be added back into Signal chat.

bjrolston.bsky.social•10 days ago

"No classified material was sent to the thread." White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt. If this is the case, then Jeffrey Goldberg is free to release ALL communications and any files he received during the chat. This was just a simple chit-chat among friends.

bbirke.bsky.social•10 days ago

I can't help myself, but I think this might have been deliberately, not by accident. The actual risk of leaks, endangering troops would be low; open source/commercial encryption can be as good as government approved. They might have created a "leak" in order to show what their supporters view 1/2 ➡️

bbirke.bsky.social•10 days ago

... as "true colors": Prayer emojis, rants about bailing out European freeriders. Will they really pray when nobody is watching? Or is this a weird Christian cult? It will be nearly impossible to demand any accountability from them. 2/2 🔚

spatrickthompson.bsky.social•10 days ago

It’s a severe breach of security protocols. If they can whine about Hilary and make up shit about “her emails,” that was found to be bullshit all along, then hearings should be convened to rake every individual who was in that room and on that group chat (which just boggles the mind) over the coals.

carmenhonacker.bsky.social•10 days ago

They are seething? That's it? How about they actually remove them from office?! What they did is not only against the law, and breaking all security protocol, but poses a severe threat to public safety. Remember: "Lock her up?" They need to get these people removed from office!

jessefisher.bsky.social•10 days ago

Agreed, but they need GOP votes to do so, which they probably won't get.

joehorger.bsky.social•10 days ago

What's REALLY crazy is that it's only elected Dems who are concerned - no outcry from elected Republicans (the same people who cried about "her mail server").

adamvann.bsky.social•10 days ago

If highlighting gross incompetence that threatens national security is up to the opposition party, what exactly is YOUR function? Transcribing press releases? Trolling for anger clicks? Secretly taking down the Times and the Post by training cowardly, subservient reporters?

em4fitzgerald.bsky.social•10 days ago

Imagine what the Republicans would be doing today if Kamala Harris had done this …NOW DO THE SAME THING DEMOCRATS!!!!

larrybarky.bsky.social•10 days ago

This is what happens when UNEDUCATED voters vote for INCOMPETENT candidates! When voters that sold their souls to the devil do not give a rat's ass about other people. This is the epitome of the republican ideology.

drshowup.bsky.social•10 days ago

US National Security brought to you by

SNAPCHAT

We are so fucked 🤦‍♀️

attentir.bsky.social•10 days ago

I would suggest painting the White House red. Maybe then the American people will understand for whom Trump is working.

jzintheqc.bsky.social•10 days ago

The Democrats are so weak. This is embarrassing. How in the fresh hell are there this many abuses of power and examples of blatant incompetence and the “opposition” party can’t figure out how to make them stick?? Wtf. The GOP made a tan suit stick. There is no opposition party.

piebrain.bsky.social•10 days ago

Yemen is claiming to have hit the aircraft carrier Harry Truman because of Hegseth and Rubio stupidity is this true? overseas news are saying this.

debmangano.bsky.social•10 days ago

Then do something dammit!

stephenseagal.bsky.social•10 days ago

It doesn't matter who's angry about it, because there's nothing they can do about it. Up until the American people decide to kill these clowns of course.......

neilkc.bsky.social•10 days ago

Who about they make it stick by reminding you, the press, to do your fucking job.

christina55.bsky.social•10 days ago

I think a story “sticks” when the US media makes it “stick”. You know, the way you all did when Biden had a bad debate. 🤨

thors-dad.bsky.social•10 days ago

They failed to hold Trump accountable for his and his administration's actions for the last 8 years. Suddenly they are going to do something?
Not while Pelosi, Schumer, et. al. are 'leading'. Dem 'leadership' is complicit in this.

madmike2024.bsky.social•10 days ago

If only there was some group of people with the resources and will to make government incompetence and corruption stick - I think they were once called journalists, but alas, they haven't been heard from in quite some time

ehg1234.bsky.social•10 days ago

Is that the story?

Not using inviting press to attend unsecure chat?

Not why they used non-government channels for the chat?

Not why they were not sure the attack was properly authorized?

ehg1234.bsky.social•10 days ago

Is that the story?

Dems are fuming?

Not incompetent GOP/MAGA frat boys slapping themselves on the back for success raid planned under Biden admin on unsecure platform?

Not illegal disclosure of confidential information on unsecure platform?

tahdoe.bsky.social•10 days ago

Go on MSM and demand removals! Spend no time “looking for ways”. FFS! DO something!!!

taurusbutterfly.bsky.social•10 days ago

Espionage Act?

taurusbutterfly.bsky.social•10 days ago

yes, we should hear about it all day every day.

NOT FEELING SAFE YET, WITH THE CLOWNS RUNNING THE SHOW!!

lkjandersen.bsky.social•10 days ago

Talking about it might be a good start.

theherocall.bsky.social•10 days ago

What's even funnier (sadder?), is that there's people in this country that actually believe this administration, whom have shown complete incompetence in just about everything they do, are smarter than all the people that came before them, and capable of fixing the major issues that America faces.

godlessatheist.bsky.social•10 days ago

Dems couldn’t even make Trump part 1 stick. They suck at Demsplaining to Americans why electing a narcissistic buffoon (fraud rapist traitor guy) TWICE is a bad thing. So, no, this Signal thing will be gone by this after—because Trump will crush any Republican that investigates it.

tzipshmil.bsky.social•10 days ago

useless, useless "journalism". y'all gonna wake up on the trains.

radhas.bsky.social•10 days ago

Here's how you report on this crisis, if you care that the US is safe.

radhas.bsky.social•10 days ago

This is DISGUSTING, the worst headline and coverage when there are national security issues at stake that concern us all.

You are not defenders of the truth, Politico. There are facts here, not a "controversy" that must stick.

voodoofool.bsky.social•10 days ago

so stop seething & DEMAND a HEARING. This was a National Security Breech, compliments of our incompetent Military Commander. Pilots could have been SLAUGHTERED!!! Demand a HEARING, DEMAND an INVESTIGATION!
DEMS, get off your ass & buy a vowel, get a clue. This is YOUR opportunity, DEMAND A HEARING!

The Republicans are in warp speed damage control, disgusting. They have double standards, spineless & have no accountability.

morrisdj.bsky.social•10 days ago

Well what are the democrats going to do about it! I hope something as of yet I don’t see anything that they are doing to help the American people. Some of us didn’t vote for this! We voted for people who we thought would fight for us!

That's what YOU are supposed to do!!!!! Are you a journalist or just an observer?????

nomadswingset.bsky.social•10 days ago

"war plan group chat"? Is that really the best way to characterize this unprecedented and shocking circumvention of our secrets procedures? Can you fit any more allowances for the Republican victims in your poor headlines?

ranmull.bsky.social•10 days ago

mrpullen.bsky.social•10 days ago

End the attacks on Yemen. Roll back war powers act giving the president the ability to attack other countries without congressional approval. There have to be like 5 Republicans in favor of that - right...

No amount of seething coming from air-conditioned offices will make GOP move…

The Republicans are clear about their programme and they have figured the Dems response to the tee…inaction and criticism nothing more…GOP is cruising unhindered

Use the GOP playbook on Hillary’s email server. Keeping it in the news for two years should be no problem.
