Top 6 takeaways from the Pentagon’s Signalgate investigation - POLITICO

Take it to the High Side (Andrew McCabe and Allison Gill; Unjustified podcast)

At least 18 Trump administration officials used an unsecured Signal chat to discuss real-time attacks on Houthi militants in Yemen earlier this month as investigative journalist for The Atlantic Jeffrey Goldberg was inadvertently added to the group.

The Department of Justice is drastically changing their policy of prosecuting crimes in the United States prior to deportation.

The FBI has cut staffing in an office focused on domestic terrorism and has scrapped a tool used to track such investigations. This shift could undermine law enforcement’s ability to counter white supremacists and anti-government extremists.

Alina Habba was sworn in Friday as the interim U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey.

Jessica Yellin on Our Anxiety Producing News Cycle (Al Franken podcast)

A potentially catastrophic breach of security within The White House has set off alarm bells for both Republicans and Democrats in D.C. Independent journalist Jessica Yellin joins us to discuss SignalGate. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and National Security Advisor Mike Waltz are both under fire after The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg was added to a group chat that contained top secret war plans (or was it just attack plans?). Will anyone get fired for this?

Plus, we talk about the Trump administration’s lawlessness when it comes to deportations. What happens when a President blatantly defies a court order?

And Jessica shares why she left mainstream news and the importance of independent, online journalism, like her platform – News Not Noise.
