Our Director Larry Pfeiffer joined About That with Andrew Chang on CBC to discuss #SignalGate This is about 18 mins well spent. WATCH: youtu.be/kXOlQtOZhhY?...

And.. there it is: Wilmer Hale law firm sues Trump Administration Complaint: "The President’s sweeping attack on WilmerHale (and other firms) is unprecedented and unconstitutional" storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Foreign adversaries “hack” it by getting into private phones. That’s why professionals don’t ever use their phones for secret information.

Scoop: The Trump administration has directed two intelligence agencies to train their satellite surveillance capabilities on the U.S.-Mexico border region as part of a crackdown on illegal immigration and drug cartels. By Marisa Taylor and me in @reuters.com www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Israel Supplied Intelligence in Airstrike Discussed in Signal Chat, Officials say www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

The Pentagon inspector general's office says it received the request from Sens. Wicker and Reed and it's under review. Officials declined to comment on whether they will take up the case, or if they have been instructed not to do so. "We have no further comment at this time."

This wouldn’t be a problem with US govt provided secure comm systems.

The Trump administration is dealing with the fallout after senior officials discussed U.S. military plans in a Signal chat that included a journalist. Here's a timeline of the administration's responses to The Atlantic story since it went live on Monday.

NPR's @michelmartinnpr.bsky.social speaks with Senator Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) about the revelation that top intelligence officials discussed military plans on the publicly available messaging app Signal.

🎙️The controversy over revelations in The Atlantic from a Signal group chat including top US national security officials planning a strike in Yemen continues to play out. What went wrong—and what does it mean? I spoke to Ryan Goodman (NYU Law + Just Security) and Cooper Quintin (EFF). Listen now.

Crow: You were also traveling during this discussion, correct? Gabbard: Yes. Crow: And where were you? Gabbard: I don't recall which country I was in at that time. Crow: You don't remember the country?

Signalgate is just the start. In its first two months, the new Trump administration has made move after move that exposes the government to penetration by foreign intelligence services. By me in @nytimes.com ... www.nytimes.com/2025/03/26/o...

Trump's inability to manage sensitive information responsibly was already a defining characteristic of his time in office. The group chat scandal doesn't help. youtu.be/nJ1dVJpMMyE

Circling back to this. This is the Joe Kent who was on the Signal group chat. He’s a Gabbard confidant and Trump’s nominee to lead the NCTC. He thinks the FBI did January 6th.

An illegal entity investigating illegal activity. Got it.

This is remarkable. They are all former service members too. Thank you @housedemocrats.bsky.social @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social youtu.be/6DkIbNE25Q0?...

Four questions for the former leader of the Senate Intelligence Committee. Why didn’t you … 1) … ask why you were using Signal? 2) … ask why you weren’t using readily available govt secure comms systems? 3) … verify who was in the group? 4) … stop the chat when it got sensitive?

James Boasberg, chief judge of the D.C. District Court, will preside over a case about the Trump administration's use of a Signal group chat to discuss military information.

Listen everyone. I’ve see classified stuff before. This in the Atlantic is the kind of stuff that gets the highest classification. I had to have TS clearance to hear the names of the people we targeted in Iraq when i was with TF16 and 17. And still some names were withheld until op was over….

“The Atlantic said its release on Wednesday included all the texts except the name of a C.I.A. officer working as an aide to John Ratcliffe, the agency’s director, at the request of the C.I.A.” www.nytimes.com/live/2025/03...

BREAKING and FIRST ON MORNING JOE: Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor in chief of the Atlantic, joins MSNBC immediately after releasing group chat texts from Trump officials on the attack plan. The White House has repeatedly said that it included no classified information.

On the left: Hegseth's message. On the right: the applicable CENTCOM classification guide provisions. This is all very plainly classified at the SECRET level. They all lied. They should all lose their jobs.
