Alternet.org · White House official claims 'entire Pentagon' is plotting 'against' Trump defense secretaryBy Alex Henderson

Today's events feel so strangely tied together:

1. What will be known as "The Filibuster"
2. A random state supreme court election has the weight of a big swinging SCOTUS appointment and lone skum lost his buy-in
3. Adam Schiff said he would hold up trump's next asshat nominee indefinitely
4. #SignalChat is still trending

This was a good day.

YES, YOU *KNEW* THEIR #SignalChat debacle probably wasn't the first time The #KeystoneKabinet used the publicly-available #Signal software to discuss #NationalSecurity matters...

...and you were right. 🤦‍♂️

PLUS...

Sec #KegBreath brings his wife to #NATO meetings, hired his podcasting younger brother to escort deportees, and hired his personal lawyer to be an attache'.

#SundayShowdown

#MtP opened with a discussion of the #AmateurHour #SignalChat debacle, showing pictures of "the six principles involved."

Notice anyone missing? 🤔

A major military strike is taking place WITHOUT the #Potus? (even his VP was there, but HE wasn't? "I didn't know anything about it".)

#DementiaDon isn't actually running things and THEY KNOW IT. "Grampy" was probably off playing golf or otherwise distracting everyone from what's REALLY going on. #TrumpIsZaphodBeeblebrox

F-18's launch, that's the game
Text that to everyone, I'm to blame
It's not national secury-it-tee
Just believe what I say, you believe me

Signal's the way we run things round here
Don't need no oversight, just need beer
I'm not drunk texting, this war is real
We're gonna throw some bombs, strike with steel

Fist bump - flag - then a fire
This administration's texting you must admire
Adding anyone into your group chat what could go wrong
Hey man this is cool, pass the bong!

War plan Signal.... oooh ahhh
War plan Signal.... oooh ahhh

Wed morning update:
The Guardian US: #Atlantic publishes numerous messages from #Signalchat discussing plans to bomb #Yemen (BECAUSE THE #WHITEHOUSE SAID THEY WERENT #CLASSIFIED they are supposed to be using more secure methods than signal is the fucking point)
#Trump

theguardian.com/us-news/2025/m
They included details of US bombings, drone launches and targeting information of the assault, including descriptions of weather conditions.

They also mention specific weapons to be used, timings for attacks and references to a “target terrorist”, presumably a Houthi militant. There is further discussion of confirmation that a target had been killed, and the use of several emojis.
