ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: It has come to my attention that several agencies are now offering WiFi for you to use with your PERSONAL devices. If I were you, I would NOT use that WiFi. I suspect it's a way for DOGE to monitor your personal communications.

The long-term way to deal with bullies is to make them understand that you're willing to put yourself through more pain to spite them than they can inflict on you in the first place. Telling anyone "You need me." is a great way to ensure they never rely on you again.

Here’s the end of the opening statement I gave yesterday morning before a hearing on recent rulings against the Trump administration - via @democrats-judiciary.house.gov & @raskin.house.gov

The reason no one in that Signal group chat said: “hey we probably shouldn’t use this” — is because, they’re using it for everything!

Not wanting us to see what they’re doing or be able to FOIA records.

‘Signal’ is how they’re officially operating…

It’s against the law, but they don’t care.

Benghazi this shit.

Make this Senate investigation last months and drag them in for questioning every day.

Not sure people grasp that if a foreign intel service focuses on you, and you sloppily use cell phones & accounts they know about, and, on top of that, you’re an insecure defensive narcissistic anti-smart conspiracy-peddling senior US official, you are truly & i mean truly screwed

They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics.

Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.

It doesn't matter whether shared information is classified or not. All that matters is that members of the government were utilising Signal that is not approved for government business. SignalGate is a very serious breach of proper federal procedures. This should have consequences.

According to a source I have at the CIA, Director Radcliffe lied today under oath. Signal is absolutely not loaded on agency computers. As a matter of fact it’s specifically prohibited as an outside app. Skype is allowed for conference calls but not Signal. He’s lying. @markwarner.bsky.social

“We are currently clean on OPSEC” I declare to my group chat as I disclose operational details of an in progress airstrike to a group chat on unsecured devices that includes a journalist.

Just the absolute stupidest, lowest quality soldier imaginable.

It's not what they were talking about (distasteful, but reasonable for their position).
It's not how they were caught (mistakes happen).
It's the app they were doing it on. It's to permanently hide conversations. Its the digital equivalent of a smokey back room. Get mad about this one.

Lord, I know there is no good order except that which we create. There is no hope but us. There is no mercy but us. There is no justice. There is just us. All things that are are ours. But we must care. For if we do not care, we do not exist.And if we do not exist there is nothing but blind oblivion

I do love me some articulate, thoughtful cynicism... maybe cynicism isn't the right word 🤔
