Summary

The Atlantic has published unredacted attack plans (non-paywall link) shared in a Signal group chat of senior Trump officials, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, and DNI Tulsi Gabbard.

Editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg released the full texts after officials denied sharing war plans or classified information, arguing transparency was necessary amid accusations of dishonesty.

The leaked messages detailed U.S. military strikes targeting Houthis in Yemen.

    The texts really highlight how much more dangerous Vance would be

    He’s Yale educated and put with his wife to become a “power couple” by the freaking “Tiger Mom” who’s a Yale professor who gets lots of up and coming conservatives clerkships up to even the SC. Including Usha Vance with multiple now SC justices.

    He’s not some hillbilly bumpkin, he’s incredibly dangerous, like the HW Bush to Reagan.

    That’s why I hate people always focusing on trump. trump is the distraction just like Reagan, both god awful humans aware of what they’re doing, but not the ones really calling the shots, and the most replaceable of all the pieces.

      He’s not some hillbilly bumpkin, he’s incredibly dangerous, like the HW Bush to Reagan.

      A one-term president who may have been much smarter than his predecessor but lacked the charisma and wasn’t able to get much done as a result.

      JD Vance is much smarter, but there’s only one god emperor in this cult. If Trump died, the GOP would suddenly lack a focal point and would go back to infighting and chaos.
