Okay, so big bombshell story yesterday dropped by Jeffrey Goldberg, the execrable editor of The Atlantic. Jeffrey Goldberg is basically a stand-in for Barack Obama's foreign policy team.
And he breaks this story that he was accidentally included in a signal chat that basically included everybody who was a top member of Team Trump in the national security sphere, ranging from the Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to the National Security Advisor Mike Waltz to the Vice President of the United States J.D. Vance to Stephen Miller, a top advisor to President Trump.
All of them were on a signal chat and they were talking about the upcoming military strike on the Houthis. And somebody, it appears to have been Mike Waltz, accidentally included Jeffrey Goldberg in this Signal chat. Now, what exactly happened here? The answer is almost certainly that he meant to include the U.S. trade representative, Jamie Singh Greer.
If you've ever used Signal, Signal is an encrypted messaging service that is supposed to be basically uncrackable by outside sources. And one of the things that happens when you use Signal Chat, I'm on Signal, I have a bunch of Signal Chats. When you are on Signal, you can choose how your name appears in its sort of identity line. You can either pick your full name or you can pick the initials.
So my assumption is that Jameson Greer had JG as his initials on Signal and that Waltz or whomever else put together the chat, one of his aides, whoever did it, hit instead Jeffrey Goldberg of the Atlantic. This does not mean, as per so many folks who do not like Mike Walsh, that he was regularly chatting with Jeffrey Goldberg.
It just means that Jeffrey Goldberg was in sort of a list of contacts that included Jameson Greer, and both of them had the initials JG, and he hit the wrong one. Okay, so in any case, what ends up happening is that there is a very detailed discussion that's quite fascinating about the strike against the Houthis that happened March 15th.
Jeffrey Goldberg has a long piece in The Atlantic about this, and here's what he says. This is the world found out shortly before 2 p.m. Eastern time on March 15th, the United States was bombing Houthi targets across Yemen. I, however, knew two hours before the first bombs exploded that the attack might be coming.

Chapter 2: How did Jeffrey Goldberg end up in a Trump team Signal chat?
Well, this is obviously a negative story for the administration, but there's plenty of positive for the administration, including Doge continuing to surgically cut the fat from decades of bloated government spending and corruption.

I need to make sure I'm maintaining my health, hitting the gym, spending time with my family, even with my busy work schedule. When I was younger, I used to think I could just power through on willpower and caffeine. And I still try to do that on occasion. But the truth is, peak performance requires peak nutrition. And that means eating enough veggies.
And I hate veggies because I don't know why God did them. This is why I'm thankful to have Balance of Nature, which fits right into even the busiest of days. Imagine trying to eat 31 different fruits and veggies every day. That sounds miserable and time consuming.
With Balance of Nature fruits and veggies, there's never been a more convenient dietary supplement to ensure you get a wide variety of fruits and veggies daily. Balance of Nature takes fruits and veggies, they freeze dry them, they turn them into a powder, and then they put them into a capsule. You take your fruit and veggie capsules every day and your body knows just what to do with them.
It's kosher, so I pop it right into the protein smoothie and I'm good to go. Go to balanceofnature.com. Use promo code Shapiro for 35% off your first order as a preferred customer.

This is obviously a mistake.
