“The White House said that Signal was an approved app.”
Seriously? Trump himself thought a ketamine user and super- rich donor who wields a chainsaw and makes Nazi salutes in public was just the person to make the government save money.
Oops.
Tweaking your question, can any White House staffer keep a rogue president from going further off rails? No. This is 25th Amendment territory, but don’t count on his hack Cabinet to use it.
Oops: “The White House said that Signal was an approved app.”
The only reason to use Signal is to keep their communications from the public record in the National Archives. Honest people don’t do that. Another dishonesty Trump has normalized.
If any service people die as a result of their ineptness I would consider it murder. It's a passive way of ignoring harm to American citizens while stuffing their pockets and homes with as much as they can take. It's a shame they can't trace the money Trump is personally pocketing exonerating these criminals, like the Chriseleys.
It's so disgusting that he pardoned those freaks! His daughter crying for months saying he's starving, he's so ill in prison & the 1st thing she does when the freak gets out is post a video yelling "Todd is jacked" Because he pumped iron & are healthy every day in Club Thief Med
The trump administration really does it care about cyber security since trump fired General Haugh, head of NSA and Cybersecurity command. I just don’t understand how this administration can be so reckless. Oh, wait, it is trump. 🌮
It goes to show you with Fascism before the marching brownshirts and concentration camps comes the grift and massive incompetence. They want to break your faith in government being even capable of doing anything for you. Except massive displays of performative nonsense.
This is Late Soviet style governance, which Putin revived. Always with the grievances, always blaming external enemies and scapegoats. If Putin is STRONG in public and marginally more competent than the Drunk Yeltsin, he is good enough.
Conveniently, we have Jake Tapper to press the most urgent breaking news that the last president was REALLY OLD. Was he really ever president? At least you can count on Trump being better than THAT guy. While Trump rambles incoherently at every speech he makes saying the same things in cabinet meetings, in front of heads of State, Mar-a-Lago weddings he crashes and West Point.
Fred: great reporting and story. You and all readers need to also know about Pegasus. If you thought Signal was crazy, well read up on this spyware developed by the Israeli cyber-arms company NSO Group that is designed to be covertly and remotely installed on mobile phones running iOS and Android. AND Pegasus: The Story of the World's Most Dangerous Spyware by Laurent Richard, Sandrine Rigaud. You will be scared; very very scared. Total morons as others before me have said are "in charge". Heaven help us.
I received a text from a friend who I dated years ago and we parted as good friends. A friend who I respect and lives his life in service. Part way into catching up some odd phrasing popped up. I realized that someone was using our past relationship to discredit. Discredit the man who I know is of deep conviction and decency. It was a bait to appear we were having an affair 20years later. To make his honor questionable. Disgusting bot stuff. There is a public person that could harm my friend and is a danger to the public good. The whole thing dragging me into it is to get even. Get even on people who cannot be comprised. Safety and service is not something one casts off to some bigwig who could care less about safety let alone service. I know not who got into my phone to try this shenanigans. Same creeps creeping out of basements and snatching snarfing any information they can to hurt whom ever they choose. Except that honor and decency got in their way.
Does it really matter if anybody gets top secret or confidential information? All of it is available to whomever wants to pay for it. Just another grift.
Can the morons in the White House do anything right???
The answer is a resounding NO!
Yes, they are hell on wheels at destroying our nation and leaving us utterly open to every bad actor foreign and domestic.

I heard Hegseth will soon be out. Suzie is kicking him out. 🤞😂🇺🇸
Unless Hegseth uses this to undermine Susie.
This is like junior high school lunchroom only with real world consequences.
I agree, it is juvenile. Perhaps he will get upper hand, but she is smarter than Hegseth. Besides this has been in the works for a while.

Hegseth is like Elon Musk.
I'll believe he's gone when he's in prison.
Nobody is truly gone from the orange turd orbit..but they do get sidelined. Just ask Steve Bannon.
It's Friday the 13th - XXXIX - because like Steve Bannon even when you think they're gone?
They pop back up again.
Lol
MAGA will not even hear about it. Which is why we need to eviscerate FOX and strategically change the conversation.
I’d like to speak with you and Adam June 6 or around then while I’m in DC to describe in detail how that can be done.
Meanwhile it’s raining Tacos and they won’t hear about that either.
Raining TACOS 🌮
I love that!
Thank you for keeping on top of this and continuing to care. We're counting on you

I just subscribed to Fred's page. His military background is impressive and important !!
If these are the shenanigans & fk ups they are letting the public know can you Imagine what has happened behind the scenes that we don't know, Yet!

Sounds like there’s a lotta anonymous mischief going on…
Imagine if it had been the President’s phone😲
Ignoring cyber security might not be such a great idea.
Trump and his KAKISTOCRACY don’t care about security.
