Russia just emailed us their latest fake BBC News video, claiming Zelensky's wife has gone missing. It would probably be less obvious if they didn't use the same name formats and layout for the emails from "ordinary members of the public" who contact us about these videos.

Probably best not to lie about things like this when you know a journalist documented the whole thing.
Gabbard: "My answer yesterday was based on my recollection or the lack thereof of the details that were posted there. What was shared today reflects the fact that I was not directly involved with that part of the Signal chat."
(Note that Jim Himes isn't buying it.)

You have probably heard that senior Trump officials included a journalist in a Signal group chat discussing war plans.
Several of the administration’s officials included in the group message have gone to great lengths to hide their embarrassment and claim the whole thing was, actually, no big deal.
