Project 2025 recommended using Signal specifically to leave no evidence trail and subvert FOIA requests. Who knows what else has gone down on Signal. This was criminal intent and should be charged accordingly.

That is most probable since all the super powers have the ability to intercept & decode normal Internet traffic. This is why the DOD disallows apps like Signal which travel the public Internet and run on server farms owned by private corporations. For all we know, Signal runs on something like AWS.

What if Waltz and Hegseth didn’t f*** up 60 days in? We wouldn’t know about it It’s obvious that the WH drove the use of Signal, and Trump will invoke executive privilege to prevent accountability We know they will try to avoid keeping records. They don’t want to own their decisions

😳😳😳😳 wow just a complete criminal administration this shit is gonna be so bad people have no idea what’s about to happen even those maga supporters that are out here with us have a very rude awakening coming when they find out they are not part of the club of billionaires

This needs to go viral. This aligns with P2025's recommendations of no paper trail to subpoena later. They don't want evidence of what they are doing and they are violating security regulations to do so. Let the impeachments begin!

France really needs to take back the Statue of Liberty. Their new values do not represent anything truthful except a loud mouth and ignoring rule of law and regulations that are the bedrock of democracy.

Please, y'all: THIS is what "centrists" DO cuz, see, "swing" voters really want Trump to disassemble the fed'l gov't and make, say, impossible to use the SSA and (soon) have Medicaid cover nursing home care. And don't want an NWS, NOAA, parks service or air traffic control. bsky.app/profile/beve...

I'm ecstatic about this win. But LORDY, why is @jamesmalone.bsky.social saying Trump hurt his opponent not because he's destroying the federal government, department by department, agency by agency, but cuz he's not *methodical* about it. Detail what Trump/Musk are DOING. apnews.com/article/penn...

Using Signal for discussing war plans seems stupid and reckless. No way to protect what Republicans love to call our “warfighters.” Setting the chat to expire seems like an illegal way to avoid the Presidential Records Act.

But he can do this all with impunity knowing there are zero fucks given about No1 his actions and No2 the law. Who’s going to stop him? Congress? The courts? The military? He’s doing whatever he wants. We’re on here bitching. So what? They are winning. Maybe Taco Bell or McDonald’s will save us.

Yeah well we can be as outraged as always but at the end of all the screaming still nothing is going to change, nothing happens, barely anyone is going to be held accountable until the next thing, then repeat. Their is never any accountability for the “ruling class”

Not true. They were warned not to use it. All were on their private phones. Not a government issued phone. Have you seen the doc about how easy it is to hack & clone phones? I suggest reading Ground News & BBC News (free) if you want facts instead of fairy tales.

Americans are less safe now than 3 months ago. I'm tired of this administration's hypermasculine patriotic bullshit. Real heroes follow protocols that designed to keep our service members, intelligence personnel, and citizens safe.

So every phone in govt that has Signal installed is now compromised thanks to Witkoff being in Moscow during the "war" chat. And isn't all correspondence supposed to be retained?? Unless there is some shady sh*t going on.

They don't command the military. The military gives an oath to the Constitution, not to the president. If the president tries to unlawfully retain power, it is the military's sworn duty and honor to side with the American people, and I have absolutely no doubt that they would uphold their oath

So, another thought I have had. Which "Jeff" or "Goldberg" were they really trying to invite to the chat? I feel like there is some hidden billionaire Peter Theil type they were trying to include. Maybe from the Heritage Foundation???

Ordered to ignore? There is almost no one with a spine left in any branch of government. And those in the judicial branch who still do, are ignored. What a disgraceful state of affairs. Silence IS Complicity. Cooperation IS Collaboration. Keep notes. (Madame Defarge style) Vive la Résistance!

We all know why, don’t we? They’re using Signal to avoid statutory records retention by secure governmental platforms. Signal wipes conversations clean allowing for authoritarian secrecy. THAT’S THE LARGER STORY NOT BEING TOLD.

The Atlantic Publishes War Plans Discussed In Signal Group Chat Jeffrey Goldberg had previously withheld sharing some of those messages over concerns that their content was too sensitive.
