What was that old adage we learned when we were babies to social media? Never post anything on social media that you wouldn't be comfortable with being published in a newspaper. And... be careful what you post as you can lose your job.

Pay attention, Journalists. THIS is how it's done.

True. I am sure the risk has been discussed with Counsel. There is a practical point here that I appreciate and why it's worth it being ballsy even if the risk isn't as big. That point is that this administration wants this story to go away. Bringing charges keeps it around for awhile.

And Hegseth gave the Pentagon a worse name than Dr Strangelove.

This has left watergate in the dust 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

If this isn't worth subscribing, I don't know what is. Thank you, The Atlantic.

Thanks for your brave journalism. youtu.be/eiJZKtEi7gU

Seeing how the subscription page is getting the hug of death, it would be nice to drop the paywall for a couple hours.

Broadcasting live from Russia.

Now is a great time to subscribe to The Atlantic for fearless reporting, lets reward them so they can continue excellent journalism

Hey, @theatlantic.com, you should totally update the headline to say 'War Plans' instead of 'Attack Plans', since Pete Hegseth and Karoline Leavitt are nitpicking over semantics. #signalgate

Imagine if the magnificent leadership on D-Day were to behave in the amateurish disdainful fashion as Trump’s lickspittles

How much did it cost taxpayers to bomb these people. What good emerged from the bombing. How did it make us great again or improve government.

Just subscribed. Thank you

Can we drop the paywall on this please

Thank you!

So every Trump administration official lied and JG did not. Who could've foreseen this?

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Thank you @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social

Thank you @theatlantic.com I’m another new subscriber. I hope other media take note. We want this kind of coverage

You gotta lift the paywall on this.

Sure makes me wonder "What else have they 'discussed' like this? How much more haven't we seen...and for which there are no transcripts or legally-required documentation?"

I'm sad that the Atlantic put something like this behind a paywall. Many can barely feed their families let alone pay for a subscription to read nationally critical information.

Astonishing

It’s scary that we bomb entire apartment buildings because a “target terrorist” went inside. FUCK CIVILIANS AND KIDS

In NL there is a proverb 'as the host is, so he trusts his guests'. Trump is the liar. That has been proven hundreds of times. #signalgate

Whoever owns the app code has full control over it, so no app is 100% secure. For example, I could create exceptions in the code that are hidden from users. For example, I could provide certain users with a version of the app that does not provide end-to-end encryption when they log in.

Dying to know how JG snuck onto their Signal chat without being invited, as they are now accusing him of doing lmao I would enjoy having the power to troll people like this. Next time we should just sneak the entire country in there. Make it a party chat.

Kudos for calling their bluff on this. It’s sad you had to do so because these idiots refuse to take responsibility. I’m so glad I’m a subscriber.

I don't wanna read old messages. Send me the link too so that I can follow the communication live and in color ...

Doesn't make sense that you'd put this behind paywall. This is one of the most important articles you guys have published and everyone deserves to learn this information. The whole world needs to know how many lies the Trump admin officials including Trump himself peddled yesterday.

I would have first offered this to the Gang of 8, but bravo Atlantic for showing some balls.

Thank you for real professional Journalism. It's going in short supply.

Matt Yospin and I discuss #Signalgate and other #Musk / #Trump Administration scandals and illegal actions on the new episode of Legal Angle: www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_sI...

Thanks for the Public Service link!! Surreal. The need for congressional and judicial controls on this administration cannot be clearer.

You have more to publish keep them coming. Every time you publish something they shit on you and say its nothing. Publish something with location or that should be classified.

This is what courage looks like. Every law firm, university, journalistic organization, and everybody else . . . watch and learn.

For anyone who needs it, here's a gift link, www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

This is the right decision. Anything else just attracts the usual wall of lies and obfuscation.

Hegseth OOPSEC

This story should not be hidden behind a paywall. This is far too important for us to have to skirt around you attempting to profit off of this catastrophe. Make this article free to all readers, after all, the information is unclassified.

What is the message Vance thinks Trump is sending? And how is that inconsistent with his message to Europe? The GOP is going to get us killed.

I hope @timmiller.bsky.social is taking a victory lap for apparently being the one to put the idea of publishing this in Goldberg's head, in real time during yesterdays interview?!

A long time subscriber.

I wonder who will play who in the movie adaptation of this mess

👊🇺🇲🔥 Again, had this been @peterbakernyt.bsky.social or @jonathankarl.bsky.social, we most likely wouldn't have seen this until their book$ publi$hed ... after the 2028 elections.

Trump, Hegseth, Waltz, Gabbard, Radcliffe all dared @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social to put the #Signalgate texts out there. And he did! Now watch how fast corrupt Pam Bondi says she'll arrest him ...

Can someone pls help Pete out here?! Pete, rule number 1,when you find yourself in a hole, STOP DIGGING!

🤦

Has anyone checked in with Joni Ernst on this? She could have prevented this by not caving to primary pressure. But she didn't.

Point of Contact

What would be happening now if the bad guys had been warned and struck first? Would that have been enough for MAGA and the boot lickers to finally wake up??

Holy cow. That bunch of buffoons needs to go. Now. Immediately. And Congress should at least call them out for lying on a hearing. And btw, this debacle makes trump look like a senile, absent, ignorant fool who has no clue how his boys are running the country.

Thank you Mr. Goldberg! I hope more will follow and stand up to this administration.

You say that there was no classified material that was shared in that Signal group? Good then, here it is! 😂

bsky.app/profile/numb...

Bravo (again) from a proud @theatlantic.com subscriber ♥️

The depth of dishonor of the current POTUS, VP and minions has no bottom. A stain on their honor, their families, their party, their communities and our nation. What does it say about us that we elected a convicted felon with a lifetime record of dishonor, bankruptcies and failed relationships. sad!

www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Thanks

It’s hard to imagine any rational excuse for this.

I just did that too! 🙋🏻‍♀️

I was thinking the same thing.

Thank you.

God Bless Jeffrey Goldberg.

Thank you! I subscribed!

Those look like they should be classified and put people at risk. He needs to step down

this should be an Atlantic-branded T shirt

Hegseth says nobody was spreading the minutes, but they were...the whole group was because one of their members had invited a jounalist to join the Signal chat. Mike Waltz either didn't know there would be classified stuff or didn't care.

Don’t hold your breath for Hegseth’s firing—but if Trump **needs a distraction**, *someone* might get thrown under the bus. Would you bet on it being a **nobody** or a **high-profile loyalist**?

Rehire Brown

Wondering if it’s just coincidence that I’m watching coverage of this on MSNBC when the screen suddenly goes black?

Attack was March 15.

What a freaking clown she is

Totally unqualified people…of course this was going to happen!!

Thank you for your patriotism on this Mr Goldberg

Bravo! You handled this gently at first until they lied. Your maganifucent story so far thus year!! 👏🤣🥴

Just stay safe, @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social

Paywall? 😔

I still can't believe that these clowns are conducting classified war planning on the same app that I use to contact my mushrooms guy

Thank you

Real high IQ behavior we got here? What could possibly go wrong with these genius billionaire bureaucrats in charge?

😳

More of this kind of reporting. You’ve earned a paid subscriber. Hold. Them. Accountable!

paywall?

www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Thank you for brave journalism.

I don't know how to make this apply, but someone should FOIA the Signal thread and then you can make this article (and any other future related ones) free for the public to read. Since it's all non-classified, of course. 😳 But really, I was lucky to read it as a gift link and think everyone should!

Hogan's Heroes they ain't, Trump's ZEROs they ARE! The incompetence is staggering. If I read this correctly, this was ALL done in such a haphazard hurried manner as a "Gotcha" to President Biden & a "Now you OWE us BIG" to the ALLIED Nations involved. From the TOP on down, they should all be FIRED!

I gotta save this mess for my grandkids

I posted the screenshots of the full thread in the comments on this post. The paywall should be removed for this story.

We need to stand with our free press. I'm buying The Atlantic today. Truth matters in America. How dare this most inept group ever to be in the administration act like they did no wrong. I'm wondering how many more times this trump group used this app. The enemy is not the journalist.

Wow. Turns out SecDrunk is a liar? Shocker!

Thank you to all of the journalists who are helping to hold to account the unqualified, inept, villainous trump administration. Stay strong. The USA, and the world, appreciates and needs your profession.

This will all blow over because Donald World has so much more “red meat” to throw out there for the rest of us to snap at, and for which, nothing and no one will be held accountable. It is terrifying that Kushner is so not in the spotlight.

Everything Mike Waltz has done the last 48 hours screams "Tom Wambsgans Cosplay".

Take lots of screenshot guys

Thank you! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

What a bunch of dumb mother F. They’re not fit to run a McDonald’s let alone our government. Disgusting.

It's gifted everywhere

They think they’re playing Call of Duty.

Not at all surprising that they've been caught trying not to get caught.

Well, this certainly puts a ruffle in their “Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Fuhrer” plans. Won't be surprised if they triple down on their defense today…

Is our operative who had eyes on the situation being tortured in Yemen right now (the one who saw and reported that the target was entering his girlfriend's home, and then verified the home was bombed)? You know Yemen is looking for (or found) who could have provided that info.

Reminder TikTok is still operating freely and hasn’t been sold to a US controlled managing company… So apparently it wasn’t such a priority after all.

Can you please lift the paywall? We need access to this!

Please drop paywall. Every American should see this. Thank you.

They asked for it.

So…highly sensitive, classified info, then, huh?
