Who among us hasn’t accidentally texted our political opponents enough sensitive information to make our lives miserable? I will leave the “war plans” vs. “attack plans” debate to the pundits who are bored enough to quibble over such things, but one thing is certain: Vice President J.D. Vance, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, national security adviser Mike Waltz, and apparently everyone else in a position to affect U.S. foreign policy were extraordinarily reckless in using the encrypted messaging service Signal to discuss an ongoing military operation in Yemen.

Making matters worse, Waltz, presumably by accident, added the Trump administration-hating Atlantic editor in chief Jeffrey Goldberg to the text exchange.
