Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg on his motivation for revealing the contents of the Signal chats:
Unsurprisingly, the White House, Hegseth, Gabbard, Ratcliffe, and Trump lied (yet again) about the content—and then falsely accused Goldberg of making it up.

I just want to personally thank Pete Hegseth for proving my theory that when your entire personality is “minorities are incompetent,” it’s usually because you’re more incompetent than anyone could have imagined.

If the US cuts funding for Ukraine, it will have nothing to do with Zelenskyy and everything to do with Trump's weakness. Trump has no plans to end the war and WILL NOT standup to Putin. I wrote the US would cut support to Ukraine in the epilogue of my new book written just days after the election.

Fox News reported that JD Vance had to move to an “undisclosed location” due to protests at the Vermont resort where he’s skiing this weekend. For inflicting misery on the world and here at home in America, this is exactly the energy that should greet Vance wherever he goes for the rest of his days.
