Here's a link to the twitter thread with the currently released signal chat message. Apologies for not having the images transcribed yet, I'm still on the clock but if anyone could attach a transcription that would be super helpful!

There are more texts, but I ran out of images that I can add, so I added the link to the web archive so you can read it without having to pay

Okay so I feel like the reason the Trump admin kept saying the stuff shared in the Signal group chat was “not classified” was to bait Goldberg into releasing the whole thing, so then they can turn around and claim it was classified. And he has released the entire conversation (minus one small redaction). So I feel like they’re now going to use this to press charges against him for releasing “classified” information.

Also the idea that it’s Goldberg’s fault for being added at all is ridiculous. Michael Waltz said “I take full responsibility” for adding him to the group chat, and then in the very next sentence implied that him having the wrong number set to one of his contacts was Goldberg’s fault. Which is something I’d love to hear the logic and reasoning behind.

In any normal Country, a leak like that would mean that everyone involved step down in disgrace and be investigated. (Is this even that far removed from Watergate?)

In the US of A (now with Tech-Oligarchs), the minister of defense can insult the editor in chief of one of the most prestigious magazines in the country as a hoax peddler (no Pete, it isn't a hoax, your boss actually said that).

Can we get rid of dei Pete now?

I'm a low level county government employee, and I have two seperate phones and computers, one for personal, one for work. I do not mix up the too. It was made very clear to me that if I ever used my personal phone for work stuff, my phone could be taken by my employer and searched for anything related to work.

My boss told me to be careful how I word emails, reports and general written communication because everything written down was saved, and the public could request to see it, so anything I wrote could be heavily scrutinized.

These are all things that were made very clear to me as an entry-level county employee. How the highest level of our government can get away with what they did is mind blowing to me.

One begins to wonder if Jeff Goldberg was only added to that Signal chat because he's suspiciously close to Mike Walz, and Mike thought Goldberg was a cool Zionist bro who would get off to us bombing Yemen.

But Goldberg decided, well after it would matter in any meaningful way, to instead use this opportunity to increase his profile internationally by chucking all his pro-IDF MAGA buddies under the bus. Like maybe seeing how inept and keen on lawlessness Trump actually is suddenly made him doubt he was cozying up to the right side of history.

Because you and The Atlantic could have totally run with this story a week ago, Jeff. But you very poignantly did not.

In fact, it seems that you only ran this after Trump made it clear that he was going hard on petty revenge against Ivy League schools and high-profile law firms.

A real man of the people you are, Jeff Goldberg.

In case anyone wonders about my complete and utter disdain and contempt for Donald Trump, this might help.

Um, what Ancient Oracle of Delphi did I tap into?

Okay I might have done a semi-serious semi-funny thing with my Ides of March Post. I didn't fucking think that I was on to something. What fucking Oracle of Delphi shit was I on?

The time the bombing of Yemen took place was on the fucking Ides of March. In case you might have missed the absolute clusterfuck that is SignalGate (Part 1 & Part 2 ) . TLDR: The people in charge of OPSEC are a bunch of fucking idiots just added the Editor in Chief of The Atlantic to discuss bombing Yemen on a fucking chat thread. Claimed that they were clear on OPSEC and violated it by discussing attack plans on Signal instead of the appropriate SCIF [pronounced skiff] (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility) that the government has provided for things like this.

I do not see the Fanta Fascist and his gaggle of adoring fascits successfully using the deny, deny, deny strategy. I also don't see playing semantics working on getting out of violating national security. By saying it wasn't classified and then declassifying it doesn't mean that it wasn't classified and a matter of OPSEC (operation security).

These assholes shouldn't even be in charge of a neighborhood lemonade stand let alone be in charge of the most sensitive information that the government deals with. None of these abject idiots bothered to check on who was in the thread. These assclowns are fucking texting about like the latest office gossip.

The fact that these chats aren't happening on the record tracks with Project 2025's agenda. But if they're doing this with OPSEC and mater of national security, what other policies and issues are they having "threads" on? The illegal deportation of Venezuelans to El Salvador? The possibility of Canada becoming the 51st state?

There's a way that things have do be done in the government so that its on the record. This is not that way. I've seen several former high level government officials that are baffled that; A) How the fuck could this happen? B) There's a reason that they standards and practices in place, C) WTF are else are they doing and or talking about doing while using this app? D) Who else could have gotten access to this info?

Two weeks ago the US government stated that the Signal App wasn't secure enough for things like this. Russia might have access to the data. Two of the people on this thread were out of the country while this was taking place. One was in Moscow, one was India.

I'm guaranteeing that this will not slide like they'd like it to. It doesn't matter how much you try and distract with other shit. They're hoping that this will go away. They're throwing out a thousand excuses and none of them are going to work. I don't mean to be a petty bitch, but the way there was screaming "But her emails!" every five seconds. I hope that the Dems hold this over them like the GOP held onto Hillary's email server bullshit.

And please note, using their personal phones and using signal are expressely forbidden, not only because they circumvent the Presidential Records Act, but because they are not as secure as the government systems that they were supposed to be using. Meaning they were more susceptible to being hacked by outside forces, like foreign governments, hostile ngos, Your Uncle Joe Bob Who's Good With Computers, etc.

For anyone who hasn't been up to date on the clown show that is the American news, I'll give a quick recap because oh boy.

So Jeffrey Goldberg is the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. One day, he gets a notification on his phone from the messaging app "Signal". He sees that he's been added to a group chat called "Houthi PC small group". He thinks nothing of it at first, until a couple days later he sees on the news that the U.S. is bombing Yemen. He takes a look and sees that he has been added to a group chat by the National Security Advisor Mike Waltz.

Plenty of government officials including vice president JD Vance were in this conversation, and they were discussing their bombing on Yemen. And Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, was added by mistake.

So Goldberg approached the White House, who confirmed that he had been accidentally added to the chat. He then posted part of the conversation in a news story on the front page of his news website, omitting any classified information as to not get arrested for that level of security breach.

The response from the administration has been wild. They're all smearing the journalist, obviously, but their responses at first varied from "he made it all up" to "he must've hacked is way in" to "big deal, people add people to group chats on accident all the time". Eventually, they were put in front of Congress to testify under oath, where they said that nothing in the conversation was classified information like military hours or types of weapons used.

In response, Goldberg said "Oh, so it's not classified? Okay then! That means I can do this," and then he released the full unedited conversation. The conversation was nothing but classified information like military hours and the types of weapons used.

Not only are they communicating on private phones on third party apps as a way to circumvent the Presidential Records Act (the chat was interestingly set to auto-delete messages after 4 weeks), but it really kinda highlights the incompetence of America's leadership right now.

They're not going to win.

"Threesome" changes to "trio", which is frankly a better match even besides. But this poses that recurring question of when a word accrues the connotation and meaning in such overwhelming fashion as to see it is to have it stick out enough to change it. Here, it is sometime after 1998.

Deciding not to get cute on "show biz" and decide "madhouse" is one word.

Now who's tuning in with me to the Senate Intelligence Committee hearing tomorrow??

[lem0nademouth]

so what i’ve learned from reading comments and tags by people who hate Jeffery Goldberg is that 1. they are completely unserious, 2. they genuinely expect journalists to risk and/or sacrifice their lives (and potentially the lives of their loved ones), 3. they hate journalists who don’t violate laws or the code of ethical journalism and think presenting information without editorialization is bootlicking, 4. they are horrifyingly antisemitic
