This is blatantly illegal and dangerous beyond belief.
Our national security is in the hands of complete amateurs.
What other highly sensitive national security conversations are happening over group chat? Any other random people accidentally added to those, too?

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, Jeffrey Goldberg. theatln.tc/IuULQFiY
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.

I think @cignahealthcare.bsky.social automatically rejects every request my doctors make. Why can’t I get an arm monitor so my doctors can keep track of the secondary diabetes I now have thanks to metastatic breast cancer treatment? We need the data to make life altering decisions about my care.

Cigna forcing me to use Accredo pharmacy has lead to me being in a situation where I can’t get my chemo. And Accredo has been gaslighting me for weeks. Today I thought about quitting my treatment and just letting the cancer kill me. Because I can’t keep begging for care.

Cigna is denying me a PET scan bc. they state it is not medically necessary based on their clinical guidelines. I have stage 4 metastatic breast cancer spreading throughout my bones and liver. My insurance company says I don't need the only scan that can show what's going on!
