I just read it and was headed here to post it.

That is UNEFFING believable.

To sum it up (but you really needed to read it yourself), Michael Walz accidentally included the editor of the Atlantic in a message group outlining the planned attack on Yemen. Senior Executive Branch members met on an open-source messaging app and openly discussed classified material. No one noticed that the editor was included in the user group. The Editor thought he was being spoofed until the bombs started falling.

In any other administration, multiple individuals would be fired or resigned - In this group it would be a large portion of the cabinet as well as the Vice President.

I read it earlier. This kind of story gives me hope that these idiots will bring their own downfall, perhaps sooner rather than later.

WOW, just wow. Hopefully the major networks report on this...

Must have mixed his name up with Putin's.

There was a time when this would have been hysterically funny.

Man, that was a scary read.

Not once did anybody ask 'who's that guy in the corner?'

The bigger mystery to me isn't why these guys did this over Signal, but how Harris was even included, and again, nobody seem curious as to how he was.

Rump tries to Taylor Swift the Atlantic..."I really don't like the Atlantic..."

That reads like a good Tom Clancy novel. An administration stranger than fiction.
