#Trump fires incompetent NSA Waltz for adding the journalist from The Atlantic to #SignalGate and fires #SECDRUNK #Hegseth for sending the classified information over non-approved commercial messaging app.

Trump said he made a mistake hiring unqualified people for key cabinet positions.

April Fools. Trump CAN’T ever say he made a mistake. “They are making me look bad!” Narcissistic psycho!

@aarRJaay Anderson Cooper 360 on CNN interviewing a Democract veteran about #SignalGate which kind of led to discussions about vets in Afghanistan and the link with Trump in South Africa.

Also covered in the NYT:

“The Trump administration has thrown open the doors to white Afrikaners from South Africa, establishing a program called “Mission South Africa” to help them come to the United States as refugees, according to documents obtained by The New York Times.”

@realn2s Hihi der Podcast war "Was jetzt", der Nachrichtenpodcast von ZEIT ONLINE. Der ist naturgemäß recht kurz, und da meine Themen selten der Aufmacher sind, werden sie noch kürzer. Lange Rede kurzer Sinn: bitte erwarte nicht zu viel (und schreibe keine Beschwerde ;)), ich habe tatsächlich bei weitem nicht alles sagen können, was ich gerne gesagt hätte (und es wurde auch noch was weggeschnitten): zeit.de/politik/2025-03/wladim (letzte 3,5 Minuten, #signalgate)

@tofugolem @GottaLaff @samiamsam That's unrelated. The article describes a phishing attack used against Ukrainian soldiers by Russia, which links their Signal accounts to another device with a dodgy link.

The major issue with #Signalgate, aside from how utterly moronic it is to invite an adversary to your group chat, is that official records are being lost.

#Signal is still secure. The people that run Signal can't read the messages. The people that run the US government are morons. #infosec
