Just when I thought it couldn’t get any worse or weirder. How do you “accidentally add” a journalist that YOU DON’T LIKE in your private national security group chat?
American war planning usually takes place in highly secure facilities. But the Trump administration planned its strikes on the Houthis using a group chat—and accidentally included The Atlantic’s editor in chief, @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social. theatln.tc/AmsjsuT6

Yeah, I don’t know about this. I do like that they are doing SOMETHING rather than outright canceling festivities

I said this to a friend in November and waking up this morning I feel it more and more.
Ukraine is fucked.
The current administration left our ally out to dry. And now I’m not sure this ends well for Ukraine.

I hate what is happening to all my friends in the federal space, and now the DOD.
If DOGE really wanted to cut spending, they should look at the defense contracts, not jobs.
Oh that’s right, they won’t look at that because Musk has a ton of those contracts

Best sporting event this weekend, by far.

Start with two proud hockey countries, add geopolitics into the equation, and then begin the game with three fights in the first nine seconds. What’s the result?
An incredible viewership number for the United States and Canada at the 4 Nations Face-Off.

Three major aviation accidents in the last three weeks. After the FAA admin was let go and all these federal employees including ATC are being threatened layoffs even though they are already understaffed. MAGA can’t tell me the two aren’t connected

I always pictured the dystopian future as bleak, gray-skies, and isolating. With a draconian leader, fires, and planes falling out of the sky. I didn’t think it would also include Netflix and an average 9 to 5

Congrats to the Eagles and the Chiefs on making it to the Super Bowl!
Eagles look good, but the Chiefs are still the Chiefs.
What a game Bills-Chiefs was. I feel for Josh Allen though

Bills fans always showing up
When the Baltimore Ravens player Mark Andrews missed a crucial pass in a playoff game, at least some Buffalo Bills fans felt sympathy, even amid their win. The Bills fans set out to raise money for a diabetes charity on his behalf, drawing more than $100,000 in donations.

A couple great NFL Divisional Playoff games today! I feel bad for Mark Andrews. The fumble and the dropped 2-pt is tough and he’ll probably get the bulk of the blame for the loss
