The CIA Director testified today that he is not sure a reporter was on the unclassified national security group chat that recklessly disclosed military plans in Yemen. The whole world is aware of who was part of Signalgate. These people cannot be trusted with America’s national security.

In case you’ve forgotten how we used to treat this sort of thing… There would be bipartisan calls for investigations Impeachment would be a foregone conclusion Several people would’ve resigned or been fired by end of day Back when responsible adults were in charge, not this insane clown posse

Pete Buttegeig made this point last night on CNN. The war plans (Goldberg said they were very detailed, so much he wouldn’t print them) are on a secure system. To get them onto Signal, Hegseth would have to do a cut and paste. Labor intensive! Maybe he retyped?

Basically, the far right accurately identified the weak point in liberal democracy: mainstream media institutions that were collapsing and therefore easy to purchase or pressure, combined with a public that got most of its information from an almost totally unstructured info ecosystem.

The Supreme Court wanted to expand executive power when they thought empowering a wannabe dictator wouldn’t affect them. John Roberts isn’t a hero for making a statement; he’s just another “I was okay with it when I thought it wouldn’t be me.”
