1. President Trump, when asked about the Atlantic story in which The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief was accidentally included in a Signal group chat with his top officials discussing Yemen war plans, said he knows nothing about it.
It’s an example of Trump trying to pretend he’s above it all—but if it were true that his staff didn’t tell him about the story, then his staff would be incompetent for not informing him (they’re not—they told him).

If true? WaPo:

“White House acknowledges ‘inadvertent’ leak involving top Trump officials”

‪Kyle Griffin:

Sen. Jack Reed: "If true, this story represents one of the most egregious failures of operational security and common sense I have ever seen."

"The carelessness shown by President Trump's cabinet is stunning and dangerous. I will be seeking answers from the Administration immediately."

Even Oscar-winning documentarians aren’t safe.

All pretenses are gone – Israel is not even hiding the targeting of journalists and civilians. There are plenty new things to protest these days but let’s not forget that this is still happening, and getting worse.

"The capitulation of one of the nation’s most prominent law firms is the worst sort of complying in advance, and its complete surrender immediately emboldened Trump to issue a new directive threatening any lawyer who sues the administration."
