Back on the tools for the budget delivery - tune in for economic and political analysis and also, wayyyyy too much sugar and caffeine live.australiainstitute.org.au

Thankfully Gina, ginger Teller & the other bloke who gave up his Australian citizenship will stand up for straya…right??

Hegseth. Must. Resign. #ResignHegseth

Important thing about this jaw-dropping story is that even if Jeff Goldberg hadn't been invited into the chat, Hegseth was sending out detailed military stuff over a civilian app that *even the other people in the conversation probably didn't need to know about* "Need to know" means "need."

is there any reason at all that the Democratic party should not immediately demand Hegseth's resignation?

📌The biggest problem isn't that Pete Hegseth is an under-qualified moron who is texting our military secrets to our enemies like some 15-year-old, blackout drunk. The problem is there is an entire anti-American, bought-off political empire on the Right that simply doesn't give a shit anymore ...

As bad as the Houthi PC Group Chat is, and as bad as the DOGE stories leaking by the minute are...what's happening under the radar is so, so much worse.

I have an additional two sources who have shared the same.

Circling back on this…

Wait...the CIA director AND 2 chiefs of staff AND director of national security ALL.MISSED A JOURNALIST???

Kristi Noem: “I’m going undercover as a spy to find the culprit who leaked the classified war plans.”

Pete Buttigieg has entered the chat.

I feel like this is getting lost. Marco Rubio has the power to ensure that data/evidence of potential Russian war crimes on abducted Ukrainian children gets to Europol. Instead, he is preventing this. Why? He won't say. Let's not let this one drop. newrepublic.com/article/1930...

nightmare group chat

Of course not. Never does

I would like to nominate Maxwell Smart for national security advisor.

Adding a journalist to a top secret government group chat about dropping bombs *IS* the kind of thing people who aren’t super politically literate can understand and find shocking/notable/disqualifying. Dems should seize on this and never ever let it go. I hope to hear about it in a decade

I'm no lawyer, but it seems like discussing war plans in Signal outside a SCIF is maybe just a little bit worse than using a private server to send emails that weren't even marked as classified. But what do I know.

PSYCHOPATHIC ZIOs

He asked us to simply accept that the government's intentions behind the changes are good. He wouldn't give us any details about the changes or how they would work. All he had was empty talk. No wonder we are all very alarmed." #mobsky nit.com.au/25-03-2025/1...

Died suddenly at… 76 years old. A man who made his living being punched in the head died at 76. In a country where the average life expectancy for men is 74.8 years. To be fair, everyone who got the original smallpox vaccine is also dead, so sure Alex. Must be the vaccines.

The latest crazy just proves what we all know. They are discussing everything on Signal to avoid any discovery or FOIA or archival laws. So illegal but here we are.

Shove the religious shit up their hypocritical arses!

So…lock them up?

If you give in to extortionists, they’ll extort you and others for more. If you let bullies get their way, those bullies will bully you and others even more menacingly. Which brings me to Columbia University. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-shame-of-columbia-university

This administration is incompetent and endangering our troops. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared war plans in an encrypted chat—including a journalist—two hours before strikes on the Houthis in Yemen, the White House confirmed.

It's Budget Tuesday again. #LestWeForget #auspol

Australians deserve answers on climate before they vote. Here are five things we still don’t know | Adam Morton

What you have to understand about Pete Hegseth copying and pasting war plans into Signal is that it almost certainly means he’s got classified documents on his personal UNSECURE devices. Signal isn't on a secure device...are our war plans on his personal devices? @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social

We need Hillary Clinton here.

"There is an understanding that Europe is now what’s left of the West," says an official at the German Foreign Ministry in this NYTimes piece by Steven Erlanger:

"Now we’re seeing more and more people who are in detention who are green card holders"

DOGE is not efficient at all.

Israeli far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has accused Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar of being a liar, a thug, and a criminal days after the Supreme Court issued an injunction temporarily freezing his dismissal. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/kowqo7
