The Signal leak by Trump's crew

An inadvertent (?) WMF connection:

NPR disclosure: Katherine Maher, the CEO of NPR, chairs the board of the Signal Foundation.

The princess does get around, eh?

And how is WP covering this?

Started early this morning and already up to 27k bytes. Squabbling is occurring.

Once again: "Moxie Marlinspike" lol.

And what does the president think of this?

Moss: And I’m sure Donald Trump had no idea that statement had gone out. I’m sure Donald Trump knew nothing about the story. He was probably busy jumping between hitting the Coke button on his desk, chatting up some business deal from people at Mar-a-Lago, and discussing his next tee time. That’s the entirety of what his presidency is. He is the puppet head. He sits there to ramble to the press, to show off his signature, and then to go play golf. He has no insight into what truly happens in this government. And he’s left it to what I would politely describe as a bunch of unserious gaslighting trolls. Not qualified professionals but people whose entire ethos is premised on political gaslighting, from the attorney general to the director of national intelligence to the secretary of defense—all of them. Their entire background is political, not necessarily this area of expertise and professionalism.

Double lol. But of course they are right: nothing will happen to Hegseth or Waltz or anyone else.

the dumb bitch says wikipedia "never censored any information

She's a terrible liar, which makes me wonder how she rose so high in the nonprofit world.....but then I could say similar things about Marjorie Taylor Greene. Musk is still not as smart as he thinks he is.

Great squawking was the result (with the usual left-right polarity, same sort of idiocy in two savory flavors)

And now they're blubbering about Hunter Biden AGAIN. Aaggghh.

Almost no mention of Maher running the WMF, just "she's a librul woke extremist, we have no idea who she is but hang her" etc. etc.

Remember: NPR and PBS were CREATED by Congress back in the 1960s. Sixty years later there is much screaming about them being "state media" who are "anti-Trump" and must be "de-funded" blah blah. We're talking about chickenshit amounts of money, compared to major federal agencies. Didn't the Reaganites try to kill the CPB back in the 1980s, and failed? Or is this an attempt to deflect media attention from the Signal leak? Not working.

PS, now there's a NY Times article asking "Who are Katherine Maher and Paula Kerger?"

So, not very important people, eh?

Now approaching 74k bytes. As people now say on the talkpage, the article name is a mess. It is being squabbled over. And the talkpage is almost as long as the article, and growing. Bless their pointy little heads.
