A reporter was added to a White House principals committee Signal group. No, that shouldn't happen, and government entities discussing classified information shouldn't be operating this way. Obviously.

"I have never seen a breach quite like this. It is not uncommon for national-security officials to communicate on Signal. But the app is used primarily for meeting planning and other logistical matters—not for detailed and highly confidential discussions of a pending military action. And, of course, I’ve never heard of an instance in which a journalist has been invited to such a discussion.

Conceivably, Waltz, by coordinating a national-security-related action over Signal, may have violated several provisions of the Espionage Act, which governs the handling of “national defense” information, according to several national-security lawyers interviewed by my colleague Shane Harris for this story."

The most bizarre part is Pete Hegseth texting "I will do all we can to enforce 100% OPSEC” 🤡 🤡 🤡

" In werkelijkheid betaalt de werkende Nederlander voor mensen met veel vermogen en winst. Dit kabinet kiest er namelijk voor de lasten op arbeid met 4,1 miljard euro te laten stijgen, terwijl de lasten op vermogens en winsten met 1,2 miljard euro dalen."
