“Trying to wordsmith the hell outta this signal debacle is making it worse,” she wrote on X. “It was bad. And I’m honestly getting sick of the whataboutisms from my own side. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.”

Trump Resists Giving Up a 'Scalp' in Signalgate

As senior officials deny wrongdoing, rank-and-file national-security personnel worry about the dangers if no one is held accountable.

Another article on the actual scandal within #signalscandal being the activity they were coordinating. Not the use of an app.


Trump's 'America Second' strategy of subjugating itself to Israel - in this case bombing targets that present no threat to the US in order to punish a group standing up to Israeli aggression against Palestinians, may likely be making US citizens less safe, not more. While breaking domestic law in defiance of international law. Sounds awfully familiar to Australian foreign policy.

In #Australia the relentless participation in US wars in the name of 'security' and 'alliance commitments' has demonstrably eroded security. While driving up costs and straining regional relationships. All while breaking laws, norms and conventions on behalf of foreign interests. While mouthing glib motherhood statements about 'the Rule of Law'. Empire sucks.

"Historically, the president has only been permitted to unilaterally order US forces to wage war in self-defense — if, say, US troops or civilians come under attack somewhere. But just as with Biden’s own Yemen strikes, that’s not what has happened here. Trump ordered these strikes in response to the Houthis threatening to resume attacks on *Israeli shipping. It’s worth noting, too, that the Houthis’ stated reason for restarting this blockade is as a response to Israel breaking the terms of the Gaza cease-fire and once more blocking humanitarian aid from entering the territory."

The Real Yemen Scandal Has Zero to Do With Jeffrey Goldberg

The press is mostly framing the Yemen group chat scandal as a story of incompetence. There’s little attention being paid to the deadliness, illegality, and ineffectiveness of the strikes themselves.

Not to worry, while America burns, Republicans are busy helping Americans... House votes to cancel Biden efficiency rules for refrigerators and freezers #PeteHegseth #signalscandal Thursday, House lawmakers voted 214 to 193 to overturn the Energy Department’s standards for commercial refrigerators, freezers, and refrigerator-freezers and 203 to 182 to undo the standards for walk-in coolers and freezers.

House votes to cancel Biden rules for fridges and freezers

Republicans have long criticized Democrats' efforts to establish new appliance standards, arguing they raise costs and limit consumer choice.
