This whole thing is insane but I think the Atlantic should have done without the paywall this morning with their latest drop.

HARD FACT: The only person on the #SignalGate chain with any integrity is Jeffrey Goldberg.
💰
In the Senate worldwide threats hearing just yesterday, Sen. Martin Heinrich asked: "Precise operational issues were not part of this conversation?" Tulsi Gabbard replied: "Correct."
Pete Hegseth shared launch times in the Signal war plans chat.
Screenshot of the Atlantic Signal exchanges, including Michael Waltz saying "the first target - their top missile guy - we had positive ID of him walking into his girlfriend's building and it's now collapsed".
Not to be a wide-eyed naïf about such things but... am I right in thinking that they levelled an entire building to get to one guy and *that* is not controversial to anyone in the American media or political class, only that this information was recklessly shared in an unsecured chat?
Hey, I have a question.
If there was a “Houthi PC 𝙨𝙢𝙖𝙡𝙡 group” text chain, might there have been another chain for a 𝙗𝙞𝙜𝙜𝙚𝙧 group?
can u imagine how badly jeffrey goldberg probably wanted to jump into the chat
"this stuff is wild guys not gonna lie can not believe i was invited"
If you have family serving in U.S. military conflict zones overseas, you already have enough to worry about—now you have to wonder if the enemy is inside the house, too.
If only our VP had the integrity to speak truth & stand up for the security of the people & esp our troops.
If he will lie about this, as a veteran, he will lie about anything.

Attacking the messenger is not going to disguise this team‘s gross incompetence.
The most important part of this is that we now know these messages were being sent to Witkoff’s personal cell phone. What a clown show.
Sen. Mark Kelly is calling on Pete Hegseth to resign.
This is REALLY the lame-ass defense they are going with? They were “attack plans” not “war plans”?
CNN: Details shared by Hegseth in Signal chat were classified
Hegseth must resign or be fired. This is not a close call.

WOW! Jeffrey Goldberg has called their bluff and published the entire signal chat (except for the name of the undercover CIA official. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
Hegseth sent operational details - very closely held. He and Gabbard said otherwise to Senate Intel. BOTH must resign immediately. If not, file articles of impeachment.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt tweeted: The Atlantic has conceded: these were NOT "war plans." This entire story was another hoax written by a Trump-hater who is well-known for his sensationalist spin.
So the White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt just tweeted this whopping denial coincidentally right as the full chat thread was simultaneously being released…
🧵Thread…
BREAKING: The Supreme Court holds that ATF's restrictions on the sale of ghost guns does NOT violate federal law, reversing the 5th Circuit. It is 7–2, with Gorsuch (!) writing the majority opinion. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...
anyway calling these "war plans" when they were actually plans to blow up an apartment building full of civilians because the girlfriend of a guy we don't like lived there sounds more like "terrorism plans" or perhaps even more accurately "terrorism factory creation plans"
Happy 75th birthday to the #1 reason we should always be grateful to Canada - their greatest export… Mr. Martin Short.
Sen. Andy Kim is calling on Pete Hegseth to resign.
"We should all thank god we are not mourning dead pilots right now."

JUST IN: Voice of America's director Michael Abramowitz is suing Kari Lake and the Trump administration to stop its imminent dismantling. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Them: “no ‘war plans’ were discussed”
The chat:
Kash Patel is sitting next to Gabbard and Waltz right now in their Senate hearing... someone better ask him - are you going to investigate the two jackasses sitting next to you?
Himes: "As far as I can tell, we're now on team Kremlin ... the president's chief Russia negotiator, Steve Witkoff, is repeating Russian talking points and participating in a mad cap Signal chat about an attack on Yemen while inside Russia."
Himes: "Apparently all this mayhem is cheered by the president of the United States and by 20-somethings with laptops and names like Big Balls. But I've been doing this for a long time, and I know that Moscow and Beijing and Tehran and Pyongyang cannot believe their luck."
It doesn’t matter if you’re Republican, Democrat or Independent.
It doesn’t matter if you think the signal chat room debacle is a big deal or not.
This is about whether you’re ok with them blatantly lying to you, lying under oath to Congress, and vilifying anyone who sets the record straight.
