The climate scam is over, and Angus King was very surprised. During a Senate hearing, he wanted Tulsi Gabbard to explain why it was not in the report given it has been the most significant threat in every report for years. Tulsi Gabbard explained that they are concentrating on extreme, direct threats. “We’re focused on […] The post Sen.

Top intelligence officials from the Trump administration strongly pushed back Tuesday on claims that classified material was shared in a Signal chat group about America’s attack plans on Iranian-backed Houthi terrorists in Yemen. The comments were made during a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing less than 24 hours after The Atlantic’s Editor-in-Chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, published a story about the Signal chat group after he was accidentally included in the group and was able to monitor communications between officials. CIA Director John Ratcliffe said the encrypted app was loaded onto his computer by technicians at the agency after he was confirmed by the U.S. Senate. “One of the things that I was briefed on very early was by the CIA records management folks about the use of Signal as a permissible work use — it is,” Ratcliffe told Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA). “That is a practice that preceded the current administration to the Biden administration.” He said that his communications in the group were “entirely permissible and lawful and did not include classified information.” Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard subsequently told Warner that “there was no classified material that was shared in that Signal chat.” The questions came after other top Trump officials — including Vice President JD Vance, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, and others — were discussing timing and messaging for U.S. military strikes in Yemen against the terrorist group. The White House confirmed the authenticity of the group chat, saying in a statement that it is “reviewing how an inadvertent number was added to the chain.” While the Trump administration confirmed that the group chat highlighted in The Atlantic’s story was genuine, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt slammed Goldberg’s “sensationalist spin.” She wrote on X that “No ‘war plans’ were discussed” on the Signal group chat and “No classified material was sent to the thread.” “The White House Counsel’s Office has provided guidance on a number of different platforms for President Trump’s top officials to communicate as safely and efficiently as possible,” Leavitt added. “As the National Security Council stated, the White House is looking into how Goldberg’s number was inadvertently added to the thread. Thanks to the strong and decisive leadership of President Trump, and everyone in the group, the Houthi strikes were successful and effective. Terrorists were killed and that’s what matters most to President Trump.”

Texas Democratic Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, one of the loudest voices in her party, mocked Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who is permanently paralyzed from the waist down and must use a wheelchair, taunting him as “Governor Hot Wheels.” Crockett spoke at an event for the Human Rights Campaign in Los Angeles. The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) is the largest LGBTQ political lobbying organization within the United States, according to its website. Abbott was studying for the bar exam at the age of 26 in 1984 when he took a break to go jogging. As he ran, a large oak tree along his path cracked and fell on his back, leaving him permanently paralyzed from the waist down. “Doctors discovered several crushed vertebrae splintering into his spinal cord, broken ribs, and damage to vital organs,” Abbott’s website noted. “Listen, if you’ve ever paid any attention to me, y’all know that I always have remarks, and then something else happens,” Crockett began. “And so we gonna do just a couple of remarks and then something else gonna happen and y’all just pray for me cause who know what I’m gonna end up sayin’?” “I can tell you that Morgan (Morgan Cox, an HRC board of director) has always been one of those people who will ask ‘What is it that you need?’ You know, a lot of people see you out front, fightin’, but nobody’s really asking you, ‘What do you need to maintain that fight?’” she said a couple of minutes later. “So thank you so much, Morgan, because we in these hot-a** Texas streets, honey. Y’all know we got Governor Hot Wheels down there, C’mon now.” “And the only thing hot about him is that he is a hot-a** mess, honey,” she continued. Jasmine Crockett continues to embarrass herself, the state of Texas, and the US Congress by referring to Governor Greg Abbott as “Governor Hot Wheels.” Gov.

I have learned, as I serve on the DOGE Oversight committee, that there is only one language that the people that are in charge understand right now, and that language is money.” Attorney General Pam Bondi warned, “This is domestic terrorism and now you have this congresswoman, Crockett, who is calling for attacks on Elon Musk on her birthday. Let’s take him out on my birthday,’ she says. Yet she turns and says, ‘Oh, I’m not calling for violence.’ Well, she is an elected public official, and so she needs to tread very carefully, because nothing will happen to Elon Musk and we’re going to fight to protect all of the Tesla owners throughout this country. And it’s basic safety once again, domestic terrorism is going to come to a stop in our country.” Related: Pam Bondi Issues Warning To Jasmine Crockett Over ‘Calling For Attacks On Elon Musk’

The Biden administration authorized the use of the unclassified Signal messaging app for official communications before top Trump administration officials began using it, according to Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR). Cotton, who chairs the Senate Intelligence Committee, appeared on Fox News on Tuesday and suggested that the outcry over top Trump officials using the encrypted messaging platform to communicate is misdirected as the use of the app began under the previous administration. On Monday, The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, revealed that he was mistakenly added to a Signal group of top Trump officials discussing plans to attack the Houthis. A Senate Intelligence Committee hearing scheduled for after Cotton’s appearance on Fox News featured two of the officials also included in the group, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe. “I bet a bunch of those senators that you see at the hearing today are using Signal, as well, to speak to each other or to speak to their aides,” Cotton said ahead of the expected questions over the Signal group at the hearing. “It is my understanding that the Biden administration authorized Signal as a means of communication that was consistent with presidential record-keeping requirements for its administration, and that continued into the Trump administration.” “It’s simply another messaging app like the iMessage app on your iPhone or email servers that every administration has set up in which senior administration officials can communicate with each other,” Cotton said.

Goldberg reported that he had been added to the sensitive group chat by an account labeled “Michael Waltz.” President Donald Trump dismissed suggestions that he could fire Waltz over the Signal group on Tuesday. Trump told Fox News that “he’s not getting fired” and called the Signal group a “mistake,” but added that “nothing important” was shared in the thread. Goldberg said that sensitive information was relayed in the Signal thread that had the potential to damage “American military and intelligence personnel, particularly in the broader Middle East” if it were to be released. He did not publish the alleged messages he referred to.
