Cool, let Goldberg publish it all then.

Best comment ever: I wonder what Mike Walz will put in his Five Things I Accomplished This Week email?

[NobodySock]

As I am still a member of a FB Federal Employees group that has lit up like a wildfire since the Fork in the Road, you may find it quite amusing that the employees are still required to send their weekly 5 accomplishments to OPM. What is amusing is that they are now getting those emails kicked back due to HQ@OPM.GOV mailbox being full. No one is reading them anymore or if at all ever. They need to hire a better AI I guess!

[jon-nyc]

Or an AI that knows how to delete.

By the way did the Senate really convene a hearing this quickly? Or was this already planned by some coincidence?

I guess you have me blocked, but I answered that already.

Never fear, I am confident there is only one poster here who probably employs that tactic to evade being called out or held to account. I can also say with reasonable certainty that jon is not that poster and you are not the targeted blockee.

The Signal chat with the NY Times' annotations.

They’re flailing and it’s fun to watch.

[jon-nyc]

So let's get this straight. Signal is so secure that the gov preloaded it on phones and it was okay to use for conversations about time/weapons/location of an attack, but a journalist was somehow able to hack it?

[Doctor Phibes]

I love the way they're attacking the journalist who as far as I can tall hasn't done anything wrong at all. "This loser" - very grown up.

It's also fairly obvious who the loser is here.

[jon-nyc]

He’s easily been the most honest and patriotic of the bunch.

The only one who has shown any honor and it’s obvious.

[Doctor Phibes]

Arrogance and incompetence is never a good mix.

[jon-nyc]

If only there had been some way to predict that hiring all these inexperienced people could lead to amateur-hour own goals.

[jon-nyc]

They’re literally stamping on their own dicks now.

[Doctor Phibes]

It's a little disappointing that those Hitler meltdown parodies have gone out of fashion. I'm sure the Fuhrer would have quite a bit to say about this situation.

[jon-nyc]

lol

Bolton:

It's inconceivable that the White House would not use the classified channels that we have spent so much time and effort and money over decades trying to make us as secure as possible. This carelessness puts American service members at risk.

And not just military:

Tim Miller: "There was a covert CIA operative named in the thread, right?"

Jeffrey Goldberg: "Yes, and I withheld her name... I didn't put it in the story because she's under cover. But, I mean, the CIA Director put it into the chat."

Somebody needs to get fired. And it shouldn't be Jeffrey Goldberg.
