Earlier today, the Atlantic published a story about Fox & Friends Weekend co-host turned Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that would be a huge, huge, huge scandal if it were any other administration, but with this one, we just call it a Monday.
In the story, the editor-in-chief of the Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg, revealed that he had been added to a Signal group chat by Mike Waltz called "Houthi PC Small Group." The group chat included 18 other Trump administration officials, including Hegseth, who in the chat discussed a secret war attack against the Houthi in Yemen. This is a significant security breach, so much so that Goldberg thought it wasn't real.
Needless to say, people are shocked, but they are probably also not too surprised that something like this would happen. So, I rounded up some of the funniest Twitter (X) reactions to this spectacular train wreck of a security breach:
