The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
-
Doesn’t the timing of the strike prove it?
And it’s also been semi acknowledged officially.
Not sure what more you want.
Evidence is not proof.
Making a claim is neither. Show me.

U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

This is one of those things where if the left had the capacity to practice messaging discipline and media coordination they could repeat everyday for the next two months with brutal consequences for the right-wing administration.
But this will be forgotten about by tomorrow

Putting it on personal mobile devices allows it 1) to be more easily exfiltrared to their foreign affiliates, and 2) allows them to get around FOIA. I'm sure most of their actions are being carried out in a similar manner.
Even if we ever do wrest power from them, we will have to go along without ever knowing everything they have broken.
Which is why the entire system needs to be ripped out root and all.
That being said, it's a risky gambit and doomed to failure and disaster if nothing is ready to pick up right afterwards.
So get planning everyone. We need a new system. We need details about who is doing what, why and how.
As far removed from capitalism as is possible/reasonable would be great.

This is absolutely staggering. I’m still trying to process the fact that senior U.S. officials—people at the highest levels of government—were casually texting war plans over Signal, an app that’s not even approved for classified communications. Not only that, but they accidentally added a journalist to the group chat. And then? Just carried on like nothing happened. No one noticed. No one asked questions. They dropped operational details, discussed strategy, named targets, and then capped it all off with high-five emojis.
It’s not just irresponsible—it’s surreal. This isn’t a parody or a leaked TV script. This happened. They talked about military strikes the same way people coordinate a fantasy football draft. And then, as if to hammer home just how broken our national security culture has become, they celebrated the bombing of a foreign country with emojis. Fire, flags, praying hands, muscle arms. Like they’d just won a pickup basketball game.
What’s worse—what really makes my blood boil—is that nothing will come of it. Nothing. There won’t be hearings. No one will be fired. There won’t even be a slap on the wrist. The fact that a sitting Secretary of Defense might have violated the Espionage Act by leaking sensitive war plans over an unsecured app to a journalist should be a full-blown national scandal. Instead? Silence. Shrugs. Maybe a Fox News segment praising how "tough" the response was.
It’s the normalization of absurdity. It’s government by group chat, with the fate of lives—American and otherwise—being tossed around like a Twitter thread. And the most horrifying part? They all seem to think this is fine. Routine. Standard operating procedure.
This is bigger than partisan politics. This is about the breakdown of basic standards—of competence, of professionalism, of decency. If this doesn’t trigger national outrage, if this doesn’t result in real consequences, then we’ve officially accepted that chaos, recklessness, and emoji warfare are the new norm.
I’m furious. And if you're not, you should be too.
It’s “indicators” like this that tell me, with all the implications of it, the USA is(!) over.
It scares the bejeezus out if me.
For the country; for the globe.

Failing through life with great success.

This is what corruption and mediocrity combined look like
Also, this is where all the people that wanted to burn Hilary due to some emails should come out and burn this administration to the ground... but that won't happen because that is what hypocrisy looks like

The funny thing is that this isn't bigger news. In a sane administration heads would roll.

This stupid story has r/conservative actively chiding the trump administration. Lol
That I'll only believe when I see it. That sub is the dumbest echo-chamber I've ever seen.

A few interesting snippets from the conversation.
nobody knows who the Houthis are – which is why we would need to stay focused on: 1) Biden failed & 2) Iran funded.
Always blame the previous admin.
But, we can easily pause. And if we do, I will do all we can to enforce 100% OPSEC”—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.”
LoL, the irony.
VP: I fully share your loathing of European free-loading. It’s PATHETIC.
Well, fuck you too Vice President JD Vance and US Secretary of defence Pete Hegseth.
At least we now know beyond a shadow of a doubt that these people are, in fact, incompetent lunatics and aren't just acting that way for the cameras.
Impeach these people before they ruin us.

Post your name and home address, and I'll go pick you up so we can fly to Yemen and see where the bombs landed.

It's because the DNC is complicit in the Duopoly.
We keep getting the stick until we elect the "carrot".
The real way to win is to end the Duopoly

But her emails...

Is it weird that the most shocking thing to me in all of this is that they all act like facebook boomers even in "private" operational meetings? "I will say a prayer for victory," coming out of fucking vance's fingers (and then prayer emojis from everyone else) is just fucking insanity. Like, I expected that behind closed doors they all call it nonsense and act like 4chan dipshits.
The mass leaking of operational information is totally to be expected. Just look at russians and Telegram.

In normal times heads would roll. This is the "buttery males" from Clinton except involving actual classified information.
What would have happened in normal times? Congressional and senate hearings. Cabinet level officials being grilled, and being fired.
And that pales in comparison to what would have happened if the offender hadn't been a cabinet-level official. If a junior officer had discussed something classified and accidentally sent it to a journalist, they probably would have been thrown in prison.
What's just pathetic is that the best you can hope for in this scenario is that for a short while, these people actually do start using secure government communications and SCIFs just to avoid additional embarrassment.

Last comment is gold. Neeeeeeaaaarly there...
