More than two dozen bar association groups signed onto a new memo released Monday that condemns Donald Trump’s ongoing attacks on the rule of law, the independence of the legal profession and the right to counsel. Specifically, the signees — which includes major city bar associations like New York, Chicago, San Francisco, as well as…

Adding the editor of the Atlantic to a text chain… No that’s not what I mean having an email about no no what the f***?
I can’t even properly convey the question. How the hell was classified information discussed in a non-classified forum?!?
Edit: I’m reading Jeff’s article now. It looks like it was signal that was used, and he was randomly invited to see it. This doesn’t change my critique. Signal is open source and probably, likely, very secure. It is not, however, an appropriate medium for government conversation.
This story is decidedly weird.
Edit 2: from the article.
All along, members of the Signal group were aware of the need for secrecy and operations security. In his text detailing aspects of the forthcoming attack on Houthi targets, Hegseth wrote to the group—which, at the time, included me—“We are currently clean on OPSEC."

Did Paul Weiss just tell every single staff or employee lower than the very highest level:
“If the shit hits the fan, we do not have your back, you are on your own.”?

Was it an American’s? Could we be so lucky?
I do have to agree… nobody’s ever seen anything like this. Every other President has kept our defense secure. But all Republicans want to do is enrich rich defense contractors. (SEE: Musk)
From middle-class taxes and middle-class service cuts.

This is the part of the story that makes me laugh a lot. Jeff Goldberg was fully aware of everyone on the conversation, because signal list everyone on the conversation. It provides end-to-end encryption, apparently. We know who was on, and the authenticity of this message has been verified by the administration. This is, without a doubt, one of the weirdest massive intelligence f*** ups I’ve ever heard of.

Okay. Haven’t yet read the Evening Briefs, but let me start out by pleading once again to select different header images besides the Convict Cheese. There were so many other topics covered to choose from! Dump trump. Kick the con. Let’s see something new, maybe even inspirational … to some emotion other than revulsion and rage.

So, Trump says he knew nothing about the breach of national security information.
Have you noticed that there’s a lot of stuff he knows nothing about? Like almost everything?

I think this must be referring to the following paragraph in the article, referencing the response to Hegseth’s posting of detailed plans indicating targets and exact times:
The only person to reply to the update from Hegseth was the person identified as the vice president. “I will say a prayer for victory,” Vance wrote. (Two other users subsequently added prayer emoji.)

The person invited him was Mike Waltz, national security advisor to the president. Waltz is not a dissident, he’s a loyal trumper.
