“Half of them saying he’s never going to survive or shouldn’t survive,” said the official, who like others was granted anonymity to discuss internal deliberation. And two high-level White House aides have floated the idea that Waltz should resign in order to prevent the president from being put in a “bad position.”

“It was reckless not to check who was on the thread. It was reckless to be having that conversation on Signal. You can’t have recklessness as the national security adviser,” the official said.

A person close to the White House was even more blunt: “Everyone in the White House can agree on one thing: Mike Waltz is a fu****** idiot.”

Goldberg got a request to join Signal, an encrypted messaging app, from a “Mike Waltz” on March 11, according to the publication. He was then included in a group chat dubbed “Houthi PC small group” with what appeared to be other top administration officials including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Vice President JD Vance, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and others.

Is this a joke?

Could the Trump admin actually fire someone for breaking laws and being incompetent? I would be shocked. But being the National Security Adviser and not paying attention as you add a journalist to a group chat to plan a war on Signal is pretty f***ing bad.

The stunning revelation that top administration officials accidentally included a reporter in a group chat discussing war plans triggered furious discussion inside the White House that national security adviser Mike Waltz may need to be forced out.

Nothing is decided yet, and White House officials cautioned that President Donald Trump would ultimately make the decision over the next day or two as he watches coverage of the embarrassing episode.

I predict Susan Collins will do her best "perturbed" face and do absolutely nothing.

Senator Mike Rounds of South Dakota said he had read The Atlantic article about the unsecure group chat and would wait to receive a formal briefing before making up his mind. But he did tell reporters, “I do not share classified information on Signal.”

This. I’m not sure why they’re not being more aggressive

We need a better propaganda site like FoxNews with giant font headlines couples with scary photos of things on fire. This is the recipe for success.

I hope Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins lose sleep over their idiotic decision to vote yes on the DUI hire

Nah. Trump double-downs on incompetence, as long as the incompetent person continues to crawl and bend for him.

My brain twisted what you wrote and now I have this horrible mental image of Hegseth doing the bend and snap...

You're welcome? I guess?

I actually went on their website because I was curious and there is nothing on it. This is how they keep the masses ignorant. How do Fox employees sleep at night? Not all of them are dumb.

I just saw Jesse waters saying how we should be thankful for this admin and they have done nothing to hurt the US...sweeping it under the rug like a good little MAGA tool.

So there's no rules on managing classified information anymore?

House Speaker Mike Johnson, Republican of Louisiana, dismissed the idea that there should be additional investigations or discipline for Trump administration officials involved in the Signal chat where they discussed secret war plans in the presence of a journalist. “I’m told they’re doing an investigation to find out how that number was included, and that should be that,” Johnson told reporters at the Capitol. “I’m not sure that it requires much additional attention.”

Where are all the people upset that Sec Def Austin went to the hospital without telling the president?

Oh, that’s right. Fox hasn’t told you to be outraged. All you understand is what you’re fed from talking heads.
