   There are so many great reasons to be on Signal.
   Now including the opportunity for the vice president of the United States of America to randomly add you to a group chat for coordination of sensitive military operations.
   Don’t sleep on this opportunity…

   Some questions that @MikeWaltz47 and the others must answer:
   1) How did he preserve the thread and others for PRA
   2) What phones were everyone using
   3) What kind of security do those phones have
   4) WHERE were they using those phones
   5) What else is on the phones

   Next time a government demands an encryption backdoor, remember: this administration uses Signal.
   They all have. For years.
   Europe same.
   Because encrypted messaging is critical infrastructure.
   There are other lessons… 1/

2. Just a reminder that Donald Trump kept classified documents in the bathroom at Mar-a-Lago, so if he’s not concerned that his Cabinet members made war plans on Signal, that wouldn’t exactly mean much.

   Get it through your heads that Trump & Musk’s goal is to kill as many Americans as possible, especially those with disabilities, medical conditions, and other things that he and his regime consider defective.
   Cruelty isn’t the point, your death is. This is a eugenics operation. #EndAutogenocide

   Elon Musk told millions of people that 8 and 11 year old children were receiving
   business loans from Social Security. He had his DOGE employees cut off the
   money.
   Those weren’t loans. They were Social Security payments to children who didn’t have mothers or fathers because their parents died. Those are survivor benefits.
   He stole money from f*cking orphans!!!

5. SCOOP: Shortly after senior Trump officials discussed the bombing of Yemen in a Signal group chat that just happened to include the Atlantic’s editor in chief, a subset of the group feasted at a secret dinner featuring Trump where guests were asked to pay $1 million apiece to join.

6. If something does deserve to burn—it’s United Healthcare corporate leadership.

   United Healthcare @UHC just denied a claim on
   one of my patients in the ICU with:
   — a brain hemorrhage
   — in a coma
   — on a ventilator
   in heart failure
   …because I haven’t proven to them that caring for
   her in the hospital was “medically necessary”.
   Tear it all down.

   The Tesla burnings were pushed by MAGA /Musk to hide that the batteries are faulty and Cybertrucks aren’t selling, it’s a massive insurance scam.
   Now they are self investing on Tesla in an artificial pump in a last ditched effort to savage the dead company.

   My sources tell me that Trump is furious about the leak of military plans in this Signal chat fiasco. It’s a major embarrassment for his administration. Right now, it looks like Mike Waltz, the National Security Adviser who reportedly set up the chat, is the front contender to pay the price for this screw-up.

9. On one of the worst intelligence failures of the modern era. Four points stand out 1/4

    WOW at least 750 full-time SEC employees are expected to leave the agency
    A source warned that “some of the most experienced staffers are leaving after having spent years overseeing the nation’s financial markets.”
    Leaving after years of lackluster fines and enforcement dolled out to hedge funds? Can’t help but think that’s a good thing for retail investors. One of the people said they expect the tally will be close to if not more than 15 percent, or 750 people, as the $50,000 offer is still available to staff who voluntarily resign or retire through the end of Friday. The departures are landing in the middle of a sweeping campaign across President Donald Trump’s administration to reduce the size of the federal government through buyout offers, layoffs or shutting down agencies entirely. Last week, federal agencies were required to submit reports laying out their downsizing plans to the White House.

11. Jack Smiths new document drop shows that the Trump Campaign PAID for travel,
    hotels, expenses and organizing efforts to bring outside Radical organizers to the Capital on
    January 6. Trump and his lackeys planned the assault on our Capital

    Former CIA officer here. This is more than “loose lips sink ships”, this is a criminally negligent breach of classified information and war planning involving VP, SecDef, DCIA, National Security Advisor – all putting troops at risk.

    America is not safe.
    At 11:44 a.m., the account labeled “Pete Hegseth” posted in Signal a “TEAM
    UPDATE.” I will not quote from this update, or from certain other
    subsequent texts. “lhe information contained in them, if they had been read
    by an adversary of the United States, could conceivably have been used to
    harm American military and intelligence personnel, particularly in the
    broader Middle East, Central Command’s area of responsibility. What I will
    say, in order to illustrate the shocking recklessness of this Signal conversation,
    is that the Hegseth post contained operational details of forthcoming strikes
    on Yemen, including information about targets, weapons the U.S. would be
    deploying, and attack sequencing.

    Social Security in turmoil:

    — SSA website crashed four times in 10 days this month

    — Phone service a mess following Musk-led cuts

    — Agency no longer has a system to monitor customers’ experience due to DOGE

    — Major staff exodus

14. I was told that Pete Hegseth had a 130 IQ.
    Now I find out that was his blood alcohol level. Scary!

    1. When Trump was told a 130 IQ was two standard deviations above the norm Trump said I knew Pete was a deviant when I nominated him,…… and who’s Norm.
