Summary

White House insiders blame National Security Adviser Mike Waltz for a group chat error that exposed military strike discussions to journalist Jeffrey Goldberg.

Waltz mistakenly added Goldberg to a Signal chat about potential strikes in Yemen, involving key officials like Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and JD Vance.

Trump has defended Waltz but is reportedly weighing his options.

Some aides urge resignation to avoid forcing Trump to make a decision. Critics call Waltz reckless, but House Speaker Mike Johnson opposes his resignation.

        • There is no buck.
        • If there is, it’s not a big buck. Or a bad buck.
        • If it is, it stops somewhere else.
        • If it didn’t, the buck is actually just a glitch.
        • If it isn’t, this is the devastating effects of the Biden economy.
        • suckers and losers
