Summary

The Atlantic has published unredacted attack plans (non-paywall link) shared in a Signal group chat of senior Trump officials, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, and DNI Tulsi Gabbard.

Editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg released the full texts after officials denied sharing war plans or classified information, arguing transparency was necessary amid accusations of dishonesty.

The leaked messages detailed U.S. military strikes targeting Houthis in Yemen.

    Why do y’all want the people failing at being evil to be replaced with people who will competently be evil?

            Or, perhaps, they won’t.

            I doubt Trump will be able to find someone less qualified than Hegseth or Micheal “added a journalist to my top secret chat” Walz.

            Evil should be punished only when punishing it will not result in greater evil. Remember how the allies refused to assassinate Hitler?

              You have a point. I’ve been wondering just how senate Democrats could possibly approve all these wildly incompetent boobs to these powerful positions. Maybe they want the worst people possible in these positions so that this administration implodes on itself.

              But that could be giving them too much credit. It would mean they weren’t entirely spineless…
