"We look forward to learning more from [and] about the Trump administration’s plans for our agency..." - GO FUCK YOURSELF!, you worthless mouthpiece, we know EXACTLY! what their plans are, because they have the same plan for everything: Steal everything valuable & let the rest burn down.

Good morning world! Here's your breakfast:

‘This can’t be real’: How The Atlantic’s editor got access to Trump’s 'private' military secrets…. Spoiler: Signal and Ineptitude.

possum.news‘This can’t be real’: How The Atlantic’s editor got access to Trump’s 'private' military secrets…. Spoiler: Signal and Ineptitude. - Possum.newsA journalist from The Atlantic was accidentally added to a Signal messaging group discussing military actions against the Houthi group in Yemen. The breach revealed sensitive details, including military strategy and classified information. The Pentagon later confirmed the authenticity of the messages, raising concerns about national security and communication protocols within the U.S. administration. In an unprecedented leak, Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, found himself accidentally included in a private chat group with the Trump administration’s senior national security officials. The group, created for discussions on airstrikes targeting the Houthi rebels in Yemen, exposed highly sensitive military plans, which Goldberg detailed in an explosive article titled, The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans. #The Chat That Shouldn’t Have Happened Goldberg’s story began on March 11, when he received a Signal connection request from someone identifying as Michael Waltz, the national security adviser. Initially unsure whether it was truly Waltz, Goldberg reluctantly accepted the request, only to be added to a discussion chain called the “Houthi PC small group” two days later. The messages shared within this group included sensitive details about military operations targeting the Houthi rebel group, backed by Iran, in Yemen. #A Reckless Breach of Security Protocols The Signal chat was populated by some of the highest-ranking officials in the Trump administration: Vice President JD Vance, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, to name a few. They discussed everything from military targets to operational details. Goldberg shared his initial disbelief at the group’s informality, with members, including top officials, casually debating strategic decisions like the timing of military strikes and potential impacts on oil prices and global trade. Waltz, unaware or unconcerned by Goldberg’s presence, continued to share increasingly sensitive details. The messages included information on the precise timing of the strikes, the weaponry to be used, and even discussions about military morale. This wasn’t just a logistical planning group—it was an in-depth look into the decision-making processes surrounding imminent military actions. #Houthi Strikes: The Military Action Unveiled On March 15, just hours after these discussions, the Trump administration launched a series of air and naval strikes against the Houthis. The Pentagon confirmed the operation was aimed at neutralizing key Houthi leaders in a bid to restore stability to the Red Sea. Waltz later appeared on ABC’s This Week, asserting the strikes were “an overwhelming response” that “actually targeted multiple Houthi leaders” and showed that the administration was “holding Iran responsible.” What makes this breach even more troubling is the information shared within the chat. Hegseth and others included extremely specific details about the weaponry to be used, the targets selected, and the sequence of events— information that could potentially have jeopardized the lives of American military personnel or compromised national security if exposed to adversaries. #The Strange Nature of the Leak# As Goldberg navigated this bizarre situation, he consulted colleagues, who initially suspected the messages could be part of a disinformation campaign, designed to entrap or embarrass journalists.** But as the hours passed, it became increasingly clear that the texts were authentic.** The language, tone, and depth of the discussions rejected the voices of the people they purported to be. Goldberg was left questioning how and why he had been included, and what kind of security lapse had allowed him to see these sensitive discussions. #The Legal and Security Implications This incident raises significant concerns about the security practices of senior U.S. officials. National security lawyers pointed out that discussions of active military operations should only occur on classified communication systems, not on apps like Signal, which are not approved for sharing classified information. Even though Signal is encrypted, it doesn’t meet the security standards required for sensitive government discussions. There is also the matter of the Espionage Act and the Federal Records Act. The use of Signal to coordinate military action potentially violated both. Senior officials should not use unsecured apps for official business, as it risks leaking national security information. What’s more, by setting messages to disappear after a certain period, the officials also circumvented federal records laws, which mandate the preservation of government communications. #The Aftermath and Official Responses Goldberg eventually removed himself from the Signal group, prompting no immediate questions from the others. It was only after his article was published that National Security Council spokesperson Brian Hughes confirmed the authenticity of the Signal chat, calling it a “demonstration of deep and thoughtful policy coordination” but also acknowledging that an “inadvertent number” had been added to the chat. The Trump administration’s response has been mostly defensive. A spokesperson for Vice President Vance stressed that he supported the administration’s foreign policy, despite the controversial nature of the leak. Meanwhile, legal experts have warned that this breach could have far-reaching consequences, including for national security, operational secrecy, and the integrity of military planning. #A Leak That Should Never Have Happened In the end, Goldberg’s inclusion in the Signal chat was a glaring example of how easily sensitive national security information can slip through the cracks. While some might argue it was a simple mistake, the repercussions are far from trivial. With the actions of senior U.S. officials now exposed to public scrutiny, the case underscores the critical need for tighter security measures, especially when discussing sensitive military operations.

#Maine #GovernorJanetMills fires back after #Trump's demand for 'full throated apology'

by Randy Billings, Mon, March 24, 2025

Mar. 24—"Maine Gov. Janet Mills on Monday brushed off President Donald #Trump's weekend demand that she issue a 'full throated apology' for publicly challenging him during a White House event last month.

"The governor responded to Trump's social media post while at a public event in Bangor. But it was not an apology.

"Mills contested Trump's claims that he wants to protect women through his executive order barring #TransgenderAthletes from women's sports, pointing out that women in the United States and around the world will be hurt by his moves to eliminate #ForeignAid, attack #SocialSecurity and #Medicaid, and impose #tariffs that will spark #TradeWars and drive up consumer prices.

"'If the current occupant of the White House wants to protect women and girls, he should start by protecting the women and teenage girls who are suffering #miscarriages and dying because they can't get basic, life-saving health care in states across this country,' Mills said, according to the Bangor Daily News. 'If he truly cares about women and girls and people of this country, let's see the economic plan. Let's see the health care plan. Let's see the education plan.'

"Mills, who was in Bangor celebrating the purchase of a mobile home park by its residents under a new state law, added that 'if he cares about women and girls, he should talk about the little girls and boys and infants in #Sudan and other countries who are dying right now because he has cut off their supply of food and life-saving medicines.'"

WIRED · Trump Officials in Signal Fiasco Attended Secret Mar-a-Lago Dinner Shortly After Celebrating BombingBy Leah Feiger

Bald eagles are big aggressive hunters but get run off by smaller birds. A fitting metaphor for people (crows and gulls) to keep up the pressure on the current regime (the bald eagle).

This eagle had its eye on something at the beach. Chased by gulls and crows it flew over me and perched on a pole. More harassing by crows and gulls and it left the area. Have seen this bird harassment before. Relentless pressure. #pnw #pacificnorthwest #cascadia #resist #resistance2025
