Summary
Lawmakers from both parties expressed outrage after The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief revealed he was accidentally included in a Trump administration Signal chat discussing Yemen airstrikes.
Rep. Chris Deluzio (D-Pa.) and Rep. Sara Jacobs (D-Calif.) called for investigations and firings, labeling it a serious security breach.
Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) criticized the use of non-secure systems, warning that adversaries like Russia and China could exploit it.
Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) condemned the administration’s mishandling of classified information, saying it endangers national security.
I agree that “heads should roll”…literally.
- Guillotines for a better America
Make it happen Senate. It’s literally your job. So fucking do it
And just like that, everyone has stopped talking about hillary clintons emails.

It’s OK! He LEARNED his Lesson! Again!

Hegseth is now saying it didn’t actually happen, matching their incompetence with dishonesty, the tone of this “merit based” administration
The worst thing is aside from being inept and careless, there is no chance they aren’t selling secrets to anyone willing to pay.
Heads should roll? Maybe, if you ask nicely, the French may share some equipment and experience.
We actually preserved a few ones. We would be happy to provide. We can even take the 25% tarrif on our account.
Living in the imperial core where a chat error is far bigger scandal than a genocide.
well said. I’m surprised at the reaction towards this specific event.
the administration is purging the federal government, rerouting tens of thousands of federal agents to enforce immigration (literally 80% of ATF is now focused on immigration. DEA, FBI, IRS, and more are all being recruited to help with immigration), illegally ignoring court orders, using a Stasi-like group of unmarked federal agents to intimidate with threats of criminal prosecution and force people into compliance (look at what happened at the SS office or the non-profit U.S. Institute of Peace), giving executive orders that are blatantly and explicitly unconstitutional (like the one to end birthright citizenship)
that isn’t even starting to mention the genocide happening in Palestine that is not only being condoned but openly embraced. we are arresting and attempting to deport individuals whose only crime is that they are anti-Israel. permanent residents are being denied entry into the country because they have a photo of a Hezbollah leader on their phone
the administration is using coercion and threats to force over 60 universities (Colombia being the most visible) to change the things they are teach, abandon certain policies, suppress student speech, and dramatically increase police presence. all in the name of fighting “anti-semitism”
it has only been a couple of months and right now Congress is making a stink about a text message
How dare you let the proles know we’re bombing people for no good reason?
Killing people in the middle east has been a source of income for us since the 1950s, a chat room error can only happen since the 90s, it’s the new interesting thing for the media to gawk at as people are being killed.
But her emails!!!
🧈🚹
…that’s Lenny tho
Yes, and Squiggy.
I feel like David Lander was the more popular of the 2 back in the day, but I’ve seen Michael Mckean show up in more things after. I wonder if he found it hard to shake that character? … or if I didn’t watch the right stuff
Well, David Lander also wound up diagnosed wirh MS, and at a certain point couldn’t act anymore. Whereas Michael McKean didn’t have that issue.
They didn’t really care about her emails with that statement, it was her pronoun which was the problem they were crying about.
I’d say 50/50 because she’s a woman and a Democrat.
Good thing she never wore a tan suit or used the wrong mustard, then Republicans would have done something drastic like storm the Capitol building!
I mean, her politics are also pretty shit.
Just, the shit parts they likely agree with.
They actually love a War Hawk like Clinton, they just hate admitting it because, exactly, she’s a woman and a Democrat.
“Every accusation is a confession”
I always thought they just liked buttery males.
No heads will roll. What most stories miss is that the main reason they didn’t use official channels for this (and most likely many of their other conversations as well) is that they don’t want to comply with the Federal Records Act. They don’t want there to be a record of a lot of the shit they’re saying and doing and plan to do.
This was literally in the instructional videos that Heritage made for new Trump staffers under Project2025. To do as little as possible that complies with the Federal Records Act. This is that video.
Trump and his regime’s cabinet are truly evil and rotten to their core.
Yeah, I know why the guy came clean, but it would have been so much more useful if we stayed on the chat. Really a big missed opportunity.
OTOH he did stay on it as long as he could while still being able to protect himself by saying he didn’t think it could be real and most likely a scam or attempt to entrap, plus the thread was basically over by then anyway.
Yep. If he stayed on the chat too long he would have been arrested for espionage and imprisoned for life.
The trump regime’s gross incompetence put him in a dangerous position.
Meanwhile, I suspect that someone on the inside quietly looped the journalist into the group as a way to expose what’s been going on. If so, that person is in grave danger.
Mike Waltz invited him into the chat, so I find that unlikely.
I haven’t found anything so far saying who invited him in. Just passive voice that he was “inadvertently” included. So in your source that it was Waltz, did it say whether he personally did it or was it one of his staff? I’d be interested to know how it happened. Did someone misunderstand who “JG” meant? (apparently it was just his initials). If so, who with the initials JG did they think they were inviting. I’d appreciate any link with that info if you have it.
It was his top aide I believe. I don’t know I read it this morning having the same conversation with my little brother. This is the article, I would dig up the relevant part but I am about to head out the door.

I’m shocked that the administration of “Put the big boxes of top secret docs under the bathroom chandelier” would mishandle secret war plans.
Remember in 2016 when the entire magat crowd screamed that Hillary should be locked up for using a private, secure server that was only accessible to authorized individuals?
Surely they won’t be hypocrites and try to brush this under the rug, or worse try to blame the editor-in-chief who had no desire to get wrapped up in this.
haha, yeah, let’s get them on this hypocrisy. surely this will be the last one, if we just point it down and take it to mom, everything will be set right. no real effort required.
thank you. people just need to stop it. we all get it. now what are we going to do about it?
no one is coming to save us.
guns.
see, pointing at guns in the american sense is kind of… not productive. the american conception is very capitalist, that the value of the gun comes from owning it, rather than using it.
I think the important thing here is to not get distracted and focus on what’s really important:
Hillary’s emails.
Buttery
Buttery males?!
Buttered Sausage
Democrats…“Why I oughta…If I only…boy oh boy are you ever…sigh”.
“should” is the key word. Trump should be in prison but he’s not.
