ECP NetHappenings Jeffrey Goldberg releases full Signal Texts

 

Congratulations, Senator-elect @MaloneForSenate! I was proud to stump with you in East Petersburg. This is a huge upset and an historic win for a Democrat in a Trump-won district, and we are leading the way in PA!
@AOC
A Pennsylvania State Senate district that Trump had won by 15 points just flipped blue tonight.
This is how it’s done. Run everywhere. Run down ballot.
Focus on local elections ASAP – from school board to councils to state legislatures.
We build from there. Great job PA!
Finally someone who gets it. You need those old Dems out of the way.

BOOM! Two big wins for Democrats in Pennsylvania special elections per

SIGNALGATE

American Oversight is suing Hegseth, Gabbard, Ratcliffe et al, saying their messaging via Signal is a violation of the Federal Records Act.

Jeffrey Goldberg releases full Signal Texts including the classified War Plans. So if you’re keeping track at home: -Gabbard and Ratcliffe lied to Congress. -Hegseth and Walz lied. – Karoline Leavitt lied -Trump lied.

It turns out Jeffrey Goldberg wasn’t the only unauthorized individual in the Signal group chat. Trump nominee Joe Kent, who has yet to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate, was also in the group as they discussed top secret war plans.

@PeteHegseth exposing an operation in advance bc he’s too fucking incompetent to use secure messaging. Since Goldberg now PROVED Tulsi Gabbard and John Ratcliffe lied under oath, shouldn’t they be prosecuted?

Stupid, TECHNOLOGICALLY ILLITERATE reckless people pursuing stupid, reckless policies.

@FPWellman
According to a source I have at the CIA, Director Radcliffe lied today under oath. Signal is absolutely not loaded on agency computers. As a matter of fact it’s specifically prohibited as an outside app. Skype is allowed for conference calls but not Signal. He’s using a personal device for official communications.

The real story isn’t that the Trumpians let a journalist into a group chat, it is that they are plotting against Europe.

Holy fuck from Hegseth message
“At 1 1 a.m. eastern time, Hegseth posted in the chat, in all caps,
UPDATE:”
The text beneath this began, “TIME NOW (1144et): Weather is
“TEAM FAVORABLE. Just CONFIRMED w/CENTCOM we are a GO for mission
launch.” Centcom, or Central Command, is the military’s combatant
command for the Middle East. The Hegseth text continues:
“1215et: F-18s LAUNCH (1st strike package)”
” 1345: ‘Trigger Based’ F-18 1st Strike Window Starts (Target Terrorist is
@ his Known Location so SHOULD BE ON TIME – also, Strike Drones
Launch (MQ-9s)”
Let us pause here for a moment to underscore a point. This Signal message

STUPID IGNORANT ASSHOLE PEOPLE USING TECHNOLOGY THEY DON’T KNOW HOW TO USE CORRECTLY — THEN GET CAUGHT BECAUSE THEY ARE STUPID — AND CAN’T DEFEND THEMSELVES BECAUSE THE  WEREN’T USING THE TECH CORRECTLY,  EVIDENDENCE THEY ARE IGNORANT IRRESPONSIBLE ASSHOLES.!!!! FIRE THEM IMMEDIATELY.

#SignalGate is far, far more serious than the US administration is trying to suggest. It is not just a question of Mike Waltz making a “mistake” by accidentally including a journalist. They should never have been using the medium for the purpose they did !!!!!

SIGNAL cannot be downloaded on government phones with SIPRnet and JWICS secure networks. These idiots were using THEIR OWN UNSECURED PHONES, which are hackable with keystrokes monitored by foreign intel services.

Key questions today for every reporter and Congressman looking into #Signalgate:

1. How can anyone (aka Trump) trust Mike Waltz going forward since he’s so dumb as to add a reporter to such a highly secretive group chat?

The Signal chat itself broke numerous federal laws.
Now the Signal chat participants’ denials and attempts to cover up what they did will break EVEN MORE laws.
Every time they open their mouths, they’re incriminating themselves further.
Soon they’ll start pleading the Fifth.

Sen. Kelly: DOD policy prohibits discussion of even ‘controlled unclassified information’ on unsecured devices. Are you both aware of that?
DNI Gabbard: I haven’t read that policy
CIA Director Ratcliffe: I’m not familiar with the DOD policy

@lrozen
Sen. Angus King: something you said has sort of puzzled me. …on the morning of March 15, Sec. Hegseth put into this group text a detailed operation plan, inc. targets, the weapons we were going to be using, attack sequences and timing. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1904555135713329198.html

The NSA was WARNED of vulnerabilities in Signal app a MONTH before Houthi strike chat.
This is incredibly bad for the Trump administration.

It turns out Jeffrey Goldberg wasn’t the only unauthorized individual in the Signal group chat. Trump nominee Joe Kent, who has yet to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate, was also in the group as they discussed top secret war plans.

Fred Wellman@FPWellman
Some breaking news in my latest post. Others pointed out that Witkoff appeared to be in Moscow when he joined the Houthi PC Group chat. Sky News has a detailed story on his timeline in Moscow. I ran that against the timeline from the Atlantic article. Witkoff was waiting for Putin when he was added. (1/2)

NPR: Trump says Mike Waltz will lead Signal chat probe, the same man who Atlantic editor Jeff Goldberg reported added him to the group.

Democrats need to be in unison to call for their impeachment when they retake the House in 2026 they will immediately issue impeachment articles for EVERY Cabinet member.
Tulsi Gabbard is lying. “I don’t recall, I don’t recall, I don’t recall.”

@TheAtlantic has published the transcript of that SIGNAL conversation chat with the totally “not classified” attack plans that @SecDef Pete Hegseth claimed “Nobody was texting war plans.” What a shameless liar—Hope his kids see thru this. GIFT ARTICLE

The Signal War Chat case
just landed on Judge James Boasberg’s desk—the same judge Obama appointed. Yes, the same Boasberg who’s blocked multiple deportation efforts. Now he’s presiding over the leaked messages showing Trump insiders coordinating live airstrikes

VOTING SYSTEM

Actually, Trump’s order apparently doesn’t even accept birth certificates as proof of citizenship.
[Part of his fascist plan] Trump signs executive order to disenfranchise millions of voters and votes
This order attempts to force states (under penalty of losing funding) to force all voters to prove citizenship with birth certificates, etc., and attempts to block states from counting mail in votes after election day.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/03/25/trump-executive-order-voter-id/82657485007/

How ironic is it that there is a convicted felon in the White House denying people in the USA due process?

This is the biggest news of the last 24 hours—not the Signal Scandal. Trump watchers have long said that early in his presidency he would begin a push to utterly destroy the US voting system and disenfranchise millions and millions of voters. Here we go.
MAGA voter suppression. It’s a blueprint for authoritarian control.
Here’s what’s in it https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/25/politics/voting-proof-of-citizenship-requirements-trump-executive-order/index.html

SOCIAL SECURITY

Social Security Works @SSWorks

“A 65 year old calls the helpline to apply for Social Security, but he’s told about the new DOGE rule. So he has to go online or in person.
It takes 3 months. He misses $5000 in benefits checks, which by law he will never get back. Is that a benefit cut?” @SenWarren

The Social Security Administration worked nearly flawlessly for 90 years until @elonmusk got his grubby hands on it. Now it’s an increasing disaster solely of his own creation; just like every other agency he’s dismantled/destroyed under the guise of “efficiency.”

This old man @RepRaskin need to get off twitter and join Bernie and AOC at the rallies!!

We are opening a new business banking account last week. The two industries the person told us they could not deal with were marijuana and crypto related companies. He said because of money laundering. I turned to my partner and told him, chokepoint 1 & 2 still in effect.

@CampbellJAustin
Without revealing my sources, we still have one of our Federal banking regulators (the Federal Reserve) telling banks directly they are not allowed to serve crypto clients or handle crypto flows. This must stop.

A Private stable coin that is legal tender would end the confidence in fractional backed commercial bank IOUs. Trump knows this and has the Fed over a barrel – this is the Battle

@maxkeiser $MSTR is strategic. $GME is nasty. Nasty in a good way. The Wall St Bets guys are insurrectionists & chaos agents. Their motivation isn’t bringing perfect money to the masses. They want to crash the global economy and the old ways for the LULZ Beautiful anarchy!!

@DilleyCouture It’s superstonk not wallstreetbets.
In 2021 the ticker $GME was banned from being talked about and all posts censored from r/WallStreetBets, by none other than Citadel buying the mod positions of the subreddit.
Migration from that subreddit happened and people moved to r/SuperStonk
Years later when @TheRoaringKitty returned in 2024 he posted his legendary YOLO posts in r/SuperStonk, NOT r/WallStreetBets

To this day media and documentaries talk only about “WallStreetBets” and never acknowledge that you can’t even talk about the ticker there… it’s almost like they’re doing that on purpose to make it seem like the story is over…

Binance used their currently existing exchange address’ to be the original funder of each new exchange address they created.
Was Crypto.c0m the original funder of their own exchange address’?
Nope!
Crypto.c0m didn’t originally fund any of their exchange address’.
Instead, every single one of their Exchanges were originally funded by a Binance Exchange.
Crypto.c0m is the perfect safe haven for the Crypto Cartel to stuff their bad debts and corrupt practices; An exchange with a troubling past, lacking the transparency and oversight that Decentralization offers; their focus: dedicated to on-boarding every-day people into their business thru over-priced partnerships; equipped with an unlimited supply of $CRO to sell them, all with the hopes to capture as much USD as they can from their users.
I expect a FTX level collapse to happen here.

Trump’s Spiritual Adviser Resigns Amid Allegations He Molested 12-Year-Old
Texas megachurch pastor Robert Morris, who Donald Trump once named as a spiritual adviser to his administration, announced he was stepping down from Gateway Church amid allegations he molested a 12-year-old girl in the 1980s.
https://www.christianpost.com/news/robert-morris-accuser-says-gateway-church-knew-of-his-crime.html
The resignation comes days after Morris, 62, seemingly admitted to molesting the girl in a statement to The Christian Post. In that statement, he conceded that he engaged in “inappropriate sexual behavior” with a “young lady” when he was already married with a child in his early 20s.

Fun fact: Alex Jones doesn’t actually have kids.

This gets way worse for him:
This is officially the END his ownership of Infowars.

BREAKING WSJ: SEC likely to seek enforcement action barring Elon Musk as public company officer / director, former SEC officials say Musk deliberately violated securities laws requiring 13-D filing when he crossed 5% ownership of Twitter stock, disclosed 11 days late at 9%
The SEC hasn’t filed any enforcement action so far against Musk over
his Twitter trading. If the SEC makes a formal complaint against
Musk for fraud, regulators are likely to again ask a court to bar him
from serving as an officer or director of a public company, former
officials said, exposing him to the possibility of removal from Tesla.
“They sued him previously, and I think they are disappointed with
the outcome of that settlement and how he has responded to it,” said
Marc Fagel, who previously ran the SEC’s San Francisco office. “They
are putting in the extra work to see if they can get a stronger case
here.”

Former SEC crypto enforcer joins project that touts the ability to create new shitcoins for only a $2 fee. We are excited to announce our new Head of Trading, David Hirsch!

Former SEC Official David Hirsch Falsely Linked to Meme Coin Trading Platform in Fake News Controversy A recent video has sparked confusion over a fabricated news story involving David Hirsch, the former chief of the Crypto Asset and Cyber Unit at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The video, which dissects the spread of this misinformation, reveals how a fake news article claimed that Hirsch had stepped down from his SEC position to join the meme coin trading platform Pump Fun as their new head of trading. The Origins of the Fake News The controversy began when

, known for its audacious and often misleading marketing tactics, released a statement claiming that David Hirsch had left his prestigious regulatory role at the

to take up a new position with them. The statement suggested that Hirsch, after discussions with

, found his regulatory work unfulfilling and decided to embrace a new career in meme coin trading. The statement went further, absurdly accusing Hirsch of being a “meme lord” who had allegedly launched over 100 tokens and engaged in unscrupulous trading practices. They even tagged

&

for clout. The Immediate Fallout As the false news spread across Twitter, it caused a frenzy among crypto enthusiasts and market watchers. Notable influencers, such as

, quickly picked up the story, amplifying its reach and impact. The video transcript captures the incredulity and skepticism of the narrator, who highlights the implausibility and potential market manipulation stemming from such baseless rumors. “Would you really challenge the SEC and say all this stuff?” the narrator questions, pointing out the boldness and recklessness of Pump Fun’s claims. David Hirsch’s Response In the wake of the misleading news, David Hirsch took to LinkedIn to clarify his position. He confirmed his departure from the SEC after nine years of service, where he tackled complex and challenging investigations. However, he unequivocally denied any involvement with Pump Fun, labeling their claims as entirely false. “This claim by Pump.Fun is false,” Hirsch stated directly in response to the rumors on LinkedIn, effectively shutting down the speculation. The Broader Implications The incident underscores the dangers of fake news in the volatile world of cryptocurrency. Such misinformation can lead to significant market movements and potentially harm the reputations of individuals and organizations alike. The video suggests that Pump Fun’s actions, although seemingly a joke or troll, could have serious repercussions. “Don’t fall for all the news. Don’t fall for all the statements on your favorite Twitters. Dig in,” the narrator advises, urging viewers to verify information before accepting it as truth. What’s Next? As the dust settles, questions remain about whether the SEC will take action against Pump Fun for their audacious misinformation campaign. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the need for vigilance and skepticism in the digital age, especially within the rapidly evolving cryptocurrency sector. For now, David Hirsch continues to distance himself from the false narrative, focusing on the next chapter of his career. Meanwhile, the crypto community watches closely, wondering if Pump Fun will face any consequences for their misleading and potentially market-manipulating statements.
