Even my work has better OPSEC on a random stupid meeting with nothing interesting. They review every attendee to make sure no one unexpected is in the chat.

You actually can't make this shit up. WTF!
I wonder if there's a Simpson's episode on this or even an Onion article.
It's absurd, it's some shit you'd see in the movies
According to the lengthy Hegseth text, the first detonations in Yemen would be felt two hours hence, at 1:45 p.m. eastern time. So I waited in my car in a supermarket parking lot. If this Signal chat was real, I reasoned, Houthi targets would soon be bombed. At about 1:55, I checked X and searched Yemen. Explosions were then being heard across Sanaa, the capital city.
It's okay, they weren't emails...
There should be as much outrage over this as they did with Clinton but 1) the Republicans are hypocrites, 2) the Democrats are weak.
The Trump administration is so close to making the greatest post of all time on the War Thunder forums

Good thing they fired everyone who worked in secure communications.
It's like an entire administration full of Rudy Giulianis. He had a history of butt-dialing and accidentally leaving unfortunate (for him) voice mails on reporter's phones.

Post is constantly being deleted on Reddit. What is going on?
Yeah. Both on r/worldnews and r/europe. Not in smaller national subreddits though, where people are up in arms about the Europe comments. I don't understand why Reddit would seek to censor these leaks, as they are already disseminated across the MSM everywhere.
They’re just cunts.
Next week: the trump administration accidentally texted its war plans on my Minecraft server.
elect fucking russian idiots , be surprised about the results
It geniuely concerns me that this type of stuff doesn't warrant a meeting or encrypted messaging.
The messaging was encrypted, they where using Signal. The dumb fuck just "accidentally" added the reporter to the group chat 😆
I wonder if it was deliberate. Trump will surround himself with people like him, so they must constantly be knifing each other in the back

Well, see, the thing is that it 100% absolutely positively no-questions-about-it does warrant a meeting and government approved, Internet-disconnected communications methods.
The fact that Trump's entire fucking cabinet apparently disagrees is what concerns me.

This is a government that tries to avoid accountability like the devil the holy water.
Trump is known to have violated the Presidential Records Act of 1978 numerous times, stating statesman-ish reasons like "I don't care". There is no reason that this got any better. More likely has he outsourced communications to other platforms, too, if only to avoid the PRA.
Musk thinks that whatever he does with DOGE is not subject to the FOIA in any way.
Michael Waltz, JD Vance, Pete Hegseth, and others use Signal instead of official, secure, and archieved messaging systems. Signal deletes such chats after a certain time, leaving no records for courts, Congress, and the archives that one day will open past reasonings for historic analysis.
So, what do they have to hide that they act like drug lords?
Well, at least it encrypted, unlike trumps bathroom.
Wow. Just wow.
Is it a coincidence that the person who wrote press release announcing Mike Waltz's nomination is called Richard Goldberg, that he worked in previous Trump's administration and is an expert on Iran/Houti? Did Waltz add Jeffrey Goldberg totally by accident or did he simply confuse the contacts?
