I put this on the dads grouptext. They claim they did NOT like it, but now they keep posting various screengrabs and quotes and I can already tell some of the language is going to memetically, ironically appear for the foreseeable future “Here let me feed you guys a clip of the Shohei homer, etc.”

All I’m saying is we could set up a grouptext here as long as bluesky continues its tyrannical “no locked accounts” policy

The scams I'm getting are weird texts saying my CV has been forwarded to someone (usually a grouptext?) and that I'm going to get a GREAT JOB.

Joke's on them, I'm terrible.

It wouldn't be the first time Hegseth went around Trump and ordered the military to do something that should need the Presidents explicit go-ahead! He admitted to ordering the strike campaign on Yemen with unclear guidance on leaked Signalgate grouptext.

The forum and grouptext are full of inspirational cartoon drawings with trite slogans about climbing the tallest mountain step by step and believing in yourself. I hate it. I’m trying not to be a jerk in case it helps other people, but please! I need a backchannel private grouptext for complaining

Everyone in this interpreting training course is relentlessly cheerful and positive in a cheesy-motivational-posters way that kind of drains my will to live. Where are the spiteful sarcastic mfs in the class so I can sit with them???

My finance guy brother who usually treats politics like an entertaining reality show is now very worried about US monetary policy in the grouptext. I guess welcome to the resistance? It’s always been real, bro, sorry you’re just finding out.

I guess the headline: "Trump admin buffoonishly endangers America," is quickly becoming a, "dog bites man," news story. But... still... the buffoonishness... it boggles the mind.

EXCLUSIVE: DOD has deployed Signal on government devices overriding their own policy

A high level source in DOD has confirmed that they were ordered to approve installation of Signal on government devices by Trump officials last month

pretty darn crazy to know that the editor of the atlantic spent 2 weeks in the grouptext for war crimes before needing to hear a big name in the administration lie under oath to be convinced that these people were too stupid and reckless to have their nefarious plans be kept under wraps

They should resign or be impeached. There should be criminal charges.

The courage of @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social . The absolute cajones while others bend their knees and tuck their tales.

A screenshot of a group chat titled "Houthi PC small group" with 19 members. The conversation includes a message from Michael Waltz, who states that a principles group is being established for coordination on the Houthis, particularly over the next 72 hours. He mentions that his deputy, Alex Wong, is assembling a "tiger team" at the deputies/agency Chief of Staff level to follow up on a Sit Room meeting from earlier that morning. He requests the best staff point of contact (POC) from each team for coordination over the next few days.

Several responses follow, listing POCs:

MAR: Mike Needham for State

JD Vance: Andy Baker for VP

TG: Joe Kent for DNI

Scott B: Dan Katz for Treasury

Pete Hegseth: Dan Caldwell for DoD

The chat interface shows the group's name, number of members, and that messages disappear after one week. The conversation appears to be taking place in a secure messaging app.

Michael Waltz (8:05 AM) informs the team that they should have received a statement of conclusions with taskings per the President’s guidance in their secure inboxes. He mentions that the State Department and Department of Defense (DOD) developed suggested notification lists for regional allies and partners. The Joint Staff is sending out a more specific sequence of events in the coming days, and they will work with DOD to ensure the Chief of Staff (COS), the Vice President (OVP), and the President (POTUS) are briefed.

JD Vance (8:16 AM) responds, stating that he is attending an economic event in Michigan but believes they are making a mistake. He highlights that 3% of U.S. trade and 40% of European trade pass through the Suez Canal, and there is a risk the public does not understand why action is necessary. He notes that while the President wants to "send a message," the approach may be inconsistent with his stance on Europe and could lead to a moderate to severe spike in oil prices. While he is willing to support the team's consensus and keep his concerns private, he suggests delaying action by a month to focus on messaging and economic conditions.

A screenshot of a group chat conversation discussing strategic decisions regarding the Houthis, including input from Joe Kent, John Ratcliffe, and Pete Hegseth.

Joe Kent (8:22 AM) states that there is nothing time-sensitive driving the timeline and that the same options will be available in a month. He notes that Israel will likely conduct strikes and request additional support to replenish their resources against the Houthis, but he considers that a minor factor. He mentions sending unclassified data on BAM shipping.

John Ratcliffe (8:26 AM) shares the CIA perspective, stating that while assets are being mobilized to support the operation now, a delay would not negatively impact them. He suggests additional time could be used to identify better starting points for media coverage on Houthi leadership.

Pete Hegseth (timestamp marked "Today") addresses the Vice President (VP) directly. He acknowledges the VP’s concerns and supports raising them with the President. He emphasizes the complexity of the situation, noting factors such as the economy, Ukraine, and Gaza. Hegseth argues that messaging will be difficult since the public is largely unaware of the Houthis, and suggests framing it as a failure of Biden and Iranian funding. He identifies two risks of delaying action: (1) leaks making the administration appear indecisive, and (2) Israel taking action first or a breakdown in the Gaza ceasefire, which would prevent the U.S. from controlling the narrative.

Hegseth concludes that they are prepared to execute and, if given the choice, he would vote in favor of action. He frames the operation as necessary for restoring Freedom of Navigation and reestablishing deterrence, which he argues Biden undermined.
