Do You Want to Know a Secret?

The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg had advance notice of a recent United States military strike against Houthi rebels in Yemen because he was sent plans for the strike in a message from Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth. On March 11th he received a connection request on encrypted messaging app signal from Mike Waltz, President Donald Trump's national security adviser. After accepting the request, Goldberg was then invited to join a messaging channel called "Houthi PC small group" that appeared to show administration officials coordinating plans to attack the Houthis.

Goldberg thought it could be a set up but his doubts faded when a user identified as Hegseth sent highly detailed plans for a strike in Yemen,  and then bombs began to fall on the country a few hours later.

Goldberg left the Signal group and then sent questions to Trump officials asking them why they had given him access to top-secret war plans.

US security is now in the hands of ignorant people who are doing on-the-job training. It will all be fine in a few years, though it might be a good idea for citizens to brush up on their Russian language skills.

 

And HEY - their hair looks spectacular when their "Oopsies" are featured on the news, or at least will be featured until anything anti-Musk et al gets shut down.

Speaker Johnson has already equated this to a level of "someone misplaced their iPad."
