‘I Messed Up At Work Again,’ Crestfallen Michael Waltz Texts Wife, National Geographic Editorial Staff
You don’t need me to rehash in great detail this hilarious/horrifying story of this administration’s outrageously lazy, sloppy, and ultimately dangerous behavior in discussing war plans over a Signal chat and inviting a reporter to participate, right? Well, I’m gonna anyway.
So, real quick: on March 15, Trump’s national security adviser, Mike Waltz, invited The Atlantic‘s Jeffrey Goldberg to a group chat on Signal along with Pete Hegeseth, Marco Rubio, Tulsi Gabbard, Susie Wiles, John Ratcliffe, Stephen Miller, and JD Vance, among others, to discuss an incipent attack on Houthi rebels in Yemen. They used emojis, y’all. Goldberg’s addition to the Signal chat was obviously accidental, and according to his initial reporting, he genuinely thought he was being pranked … until the bombs started falling right on schedule.
There are a million problems with this, starting with ACCIDENTALLY INCLUDING A REPORTER TO YOUR WAR CHAT — like, the mind-boggling incompetence of this alone! But more troubling is this group of people, the heads of our national security, sharing clearly, obviously classified information — information that could have led to our service people being killed while on their mission — on an app that has been known to be hacked by the Russians, Chinese, and terrorist organizations INSTEAD OF THE SCIFS THAT THEY ALL HAVE ACCESS TO. Oh, and did I mention that one of the participants WAS IN RUSSIA WHEN THE CHAT TOOK PLACE?
There are established methods for sharing sensitive material, and these lazy, incompetent idiots, they just were like, “Nah.” The big question that remains is whether they did this out of sheer laziness, or if they were trying to avoid having this, and possibly countless other conversations recorded for posterity and possible investigation. If they learned anything from the first impeachment, it might have been they need to go around official channels to protect their own asses.
Now, everyone involved is like, “It’s no biggie, we use Signal all the time, nothing important was shared.” In fact, at a Congressional hearing yesterday, Gabbard and Ratcliffe both insisted that what was shared wasn’t classified, and that specific “weapons, packages, targets, and strike timing” weren’t disclosed in the chat.
So The Atlantic, which had previously not published anything out of security concerns, played their hand and published the chat this morning … after all, it wasn’t classified, the administration said so. And what do you know, but strike timing and the kinds of planes and weapons that were used were, in fact, disclosed in the chat, raising alarms that Gabbard appeared to have perjured herself.
I need to remind you: it’s March. We haven’t even had 100 days of this bullshit yet.
Meanwhile, the administration is spinning itself in knots defending this, and resorting to their favorite trick: attacking the press, which is why I’m even writing about this.
President Fake News responded predictably: “That’s an app that a lot of people use. And somebody got on. I happen to know the guy is a total sleazebag. The Atlantic is a failed magazine, does very, very poorly. Nobody gives a damn about it.”
Pete Hegseth: “So you’re talking about a deceitful and highly discredited so-called journalist who’s made a profession of peddling hoaxes time and time again to include, I don’t know, the hoaxes of Russia, Russia, Russia, or the fine people on both sides hoax, or suckers and losers hoax. So this is the guy that peddles in garbage. This is what he does.”
And Mike Waltz, the guy who created the chat group and invited Goldberg, he insinuated that somehow maybe Goldberg hacked into it: “I don’t know this guy,” he said. “I know him by his horrible reputation, and he really is the bottom scum of journalists” … “Have you ever had somebody’s contact that shows their name, and then you have somebody else’s number? … You got somebody else’s number on someone else’s contact, so of course I didn’t see this loser in the group. It looked like someone else. Now whether he did it deliberately or it happened in some other technical mean is something we’re trying to figure out.”
Don’t worry, Elon Musk is “investigating” how Jeffrey Goldberg was included in the chat. HEY, DUMMY, I CAN SAVE YOU SOME TIME:

In all seriousness, Mike Waltz better hope the White House doesn’t start asking why he has The Atlantic‘s “bottom scum” Jeffrey Goldberg’s number in his phone in the first place.
So kudos to The Atlantic for reporting the story and revealing the chat — and if you have the means, consider a subscription to support serious, unflinching journalism; kudos to American Oversight for quickly filing a lawsuit against administration officials including Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard, and John Ratcliffe for violating the Federal Records Act; and kudos to the Democrats who appear to FINALLY be doing something to hold these idiots’ feet to the fire.
