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.
Make it happen Senate. It’s literally your job. So fucking do it
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.

I’m shocked that the administration of “Put the big boxes of top secret docs under the bathroom chandelier” would mishandle secret war plans.
And just like that, everyone has stopped talking about hillary clintons emails.

It’s OK! He LEARNED his Lesson! Again!
-Susan Collins!
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.
I agree that “heads should roll”…literally.
- Guillotines for a better America
The only person in real danger here is the journalist.
And the yemenis but they’ve got the wrong skin tone for anybody to even mention. Genocide is completely normalized.
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.
Democrats…“Why I oughta…If I only…boy oh boy are you ever…sigh”.
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
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.
“should” is the key word. Trump should be in prison but he’s not.
I agree with those who think nothing will happen. Screw ups are an everyday thing for these clowns.
It’s like a bunch of stupid kids playing government.
