“The first thing you think of is the counterintelligence issue, right? And the security vulnerabilities. It kind of boggles the mind, in a way,” says Michael Ard, a former intelligence analyst who now runs the masters program in intelligence analysis at Johns Hopkins.

Our review of public data exposed on Venmo accounts suggests that the Signal group chat was not an isolated mistake, but part of a broader pattern of what national security experts describe as reckless behavior by some of the most powerful people in the US government.

Every member of the admin on that group chat broke the law requiring record maintenance & endangered national security. Unsecured devices & software as advised in Project 2025 training. Media should investigate beyond this one time. Are such disappearing chats routine among senior admin members?

We are deporting whip-smart graduate students for writing op-eds and alleging they are threats to our national security. Meanwhile, these nincompoops are allowed to lie, cheat & destroy this country while opening us up to actual threats due to their incompetence and stupidity.

I'm having trouble creating my Signal account... Can someone at WIRED help me... I'm really interested in proactively knowing about our DOD plans... Like where our pilots plan to fly tomorrow, the time...that kind of shit...

Vance est à l'image de petit Poutine, un déchet de société qui se masturbe le cerveau 50 fois x minutes, et il adore s'entendre parler, ça le fait jouir ! Lui et petit Poutine, ont les mêmes gènes. Ils se voient tous les deux au-dessus du monde, mais, sont assis dans un tas de merde !

Just added Matt Gaetz, Pete Hegseth, and Marjorie Taylor Green to my Signal list. Invited them to group text called OPSEC Jeff Goldblum to discuss space laser defense, code name Slick Dome.

First Waltz leaks attack times on Signal, now his Venmo is full of sensitive contacts — and now they're bluffing. No big deal. Everything under control. As long as you judge the National Security Advisor's IQ by his profile picture.📱🎮☠️🔓🫠 #WaltzWatch #MAGAincompetence

I don't know, the Republican Party is always on the cutting edge of national security. If they have no problem with a drunken FOX News host open sourcing national security matters, who are we to question? Must be some of that 4th dimensional chess that trump always be playing.
