Summary

Charlie Sykes and national security expert Olivia Troye react to The Atlantic's bombshell report detailing how Trump administration officials accidentally included a journalist in a Signal group chat revealing real-time U.S. war plans. They also examine the chilling erosion of institutional norms—from the revocation of security clearances for dissenters to the shuttering of Voice of America—and question what happens when authoritarian tactics meet amateur hour governance. Plus, they discuss the bizarre return of Trump’s Greenland obsession and the dismantling of Social Security without a single vote.
