I'm ... I mean ... No, really. Uhm.

US officials up to the Vice President discuss the planning and execution of the attacks in Yemen on a Signal group and added a journalist to that group.

#oopsie doesn't even come close to.expressing what I think right now.

So. Uhm. Well. I think if Signal is safe enough for that, you can use it too :)

JD Vance @Pete Hegseth if you think we should do it let's go. | just hate bailing Europe out again. 8:45AM Let's just make sure our messaging is tight here. And if there are things we can do upfront to minimize risk to Saudi oil facilities we should do it. 8:46AM
Pete Hegseth VP: | fully share your loathing of European free-loading. It's PATHETIC. But Mike is correct, we are the only ones on the planet (on our side of the ledger) who can do this. Nobody else even close. Question is timing. | feel like now is as good a time as any, given POTUS directive to reopen shipping lanes. | think we should go; but POTUS still retains 24 hours of decision space. 8:49AM S M As | heard it, the president was clear: green light, but we soon make clear to Egypt and Europe what we expect in return. We also need to figure out how to enforce such a requirement. EG, if Europe doesn't remunerate, then what? If the US successfully restores freedom of navigation at great cost there needs to be some further economic gain extracted in return. 9:35AM Pete Hegseth Agree 9:46am
