The signal chat heard around the world.

Columbia University buckles and is Trump on the right track with his TDA deportations?

I said anything. So Jim Garrity, I'm so disappointed in you. I thought you were plugged in

as far as we know ever

been included on a signal chat discussing u.s war plans what's going on and can you please up your

game rich why are you so certain i'm not on these text chats i I said as far as we know.

That's the correct caveat.

No, look, there are, I wrote in today's morning, Jolt, there were at least four problems with this, and now I think there's like five.

First problem is you can't have your entire administration national security team using Signal. It is by app standards more secure than usual,

but it's not secure enough for discussing classified information. A guy like Mike Waltz has to know that.

Google's intelligence group warned that Russia-backed hacking groups had managed ways to

compromise the encrypted messaging on Signal. And oh, by the way, Steve Whitkoff was in Moscow when these messages were being exchanged.

So all really bad.

Second problem, Waltz accidentally invited journalist Goldberg, although, you know, I guess it could

have been any old JG, so there but for the grace of God, go I.
