The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

    This is a government that tries to avoid accountability like the devil the holy water.

    Trump is known to have violated the Presidential Records Act of 1978 numerous times, stating statesman-ish reasons like “I don’t care”. There is no reason that this got any better. More likely has he outsourced communications to other platforms, too, if only to avoid the PRA.

    Musk thinks that whatever he does with DOGE is not subject to the FOIA in any way.

    Michael Waltz, JD Vance, Pete Hegseth, and others use Signal instead of official, secure, and archieved messaging systems. Signal deletes such chats after a certain time, leaving no records for courts, Congress, and the archives that one day will open past reasonings for historic analysis.

    So, what do they have to hide that they act like drug lords?
