One thing that can get lost in all this is that Jeff Goldberg knows much, much more about national security than the principals who were on that text chain.

Donald Krasnov Trump.
OK, the report is now fully in major media. Media must get an extensive White House response; Congress must investigate (even if it's a minority report); DOJ and the FBI must investigate; the CIA must issue a report on what it knew about this and when.

I love Timothy Snyder. Too bad he isn't running the country, but since he's not, we should read everything he writes and believe everything he says. I trust Snyder but I do not trust anyone in this administration.
