This is a true story.
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth; Vice President JD Vance; Secretary of State Marco Rubio; Tulsi Gabbard, FFOTUS’s director of national intelligence; and Mike Waltz, his national security adviser were on a Signal (end-to-end encrypted text app) sharing operational details of forthcoming strikes on Iran-backed Houthi-rebels in Yemen, including information about targets, weapons the U.S. would be deploying, and attack sequencing.
Mark Kelly: NOTICE TO WHILE HOUSE STAFF there is a room in the building and secure systems where you are supposed to have these discussions. SIGNAL ain’t it.
How do we know this happened? Also included in the text chain was editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg. Mike Walz invited him and he said yes. Then he wrote about it.
Mayor Pete: the highest level of fuckup imaginable
Defense. State. Intelligence. Security. Those used to be words that gave me comfort.
These are not serious people. Amateurs at best, idiots more likely. Trump's response: "The Atlantic, it's a failed magazine, going out of business." Ahem, it's been in business since 1857............
ReplyDeleteAmerica is waking up, though. 20K for Bernie and AOC on Saturday in a sleepy backwater like ours :)
