Loomer speculated that Wong was responsible for adding #TheAtlantic’s #JeffreyGoldberg, to the group chat “on purpose as part of a foreign opp to embarrass the #Trump administration on behalf of China.”

[insane person]

…Loomer was seated directly across the desk from Trump. Seated next to her was Rep #ScottPerry, a PA congressman who was one of Trump’s biggest allies in his efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss. Perry had a separate list of staff concerns he wanted to discuss…

Weekly output: Signal war-plans chat, AT&T limits autopay discount, Google travel search, my Washington Post origin story

I had a roughly four-and-a-half-day workweek, thanks to my taking Thursday afternoon off to see the Nats home opener–and then spending Thursday night seeing one of Arlington’s finest punk-rock bands, Tsunami, play a set at the Black Cat with co-headliners Ida. I’d last set foot in that venue on 14th Street in 2007 for a show by another great local indie-rock outfit, the Dismemberment Plan, and it was great to be back there.

Patreon readers got an extra post this week, a review of the book Character Limit: How Elon Musk Destroyed Twitter that examined how Musk’s disruption and destruction of government functions seems to follow the script he improvised in that disastrous takeover of Twitter.

3/24/2025: Trump Officials Accidentally Add Atlantic Editor to Signal Chat About War Plans, PCMag

I had to write about Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg’s recount of being added by mistake to a Signal chat about plans to strike Houthi militants–and I was glad I could include a disapproving quote in this post from an information-security expert and West Point grad I know.

3/26/2025: AT&T’s Full Autopay Discount Will Soon Require Your Bank Details, PCMag

Seeing AT&T suggest that subscribers get its credit card if they don’t want to allow direct withdrawals from their bank accounts but still want some kind of autopay discount made me think of how airlines now push their own credit cards.

3/27/2025: Need to Get Away? Google’s Travel Search Can Now Track Hotel Prices, PCMag

I thought the hotel rate tracking was the most useful part of this announcement, so it was interesting to see Ars Technica’s Ryan Whitwham lead with the screenshot-analysis part of the company’s news–and surface some details I hadn’t gotten.

3/28/2025: My First Byline: Rob Pegoraro, Your First Byline

I’ve enjoyed reading the how-I-got-started testimony of journalists on Ryan Teague Beckwith’s newsletter, so I couldn’t resist excavating some old e-mails and memos to write my own recollection.

#Trump told allies that he was unhappy w/the press coverage but…he did not want to be seen as caving to [the] media….& he said he was reluctant to fire people in snr ranks so early in his 2nd term.

But…the real problem did not appear to be his #NationalSecurity adviser’s carelessness about discussing #military plans on a commercial app….It was that #MikeWaltz may have had some kind of connection to #JeffreyGoldberg, a… #journalist whom Trump loathes…[because] Waltz had Goldberg’s number….

4/4 "Goldberg [...] does recall meeting Waltz—twice. “I’ve met him, I think, twice in my life. Not recently, probably; like a couple of years ago,”
[...]
The photo (2021) shows Waltz smiling up at the French philosopher speaking from the podium. Right behind the national security adviser was Goldberg, standing with his hand in his pocket.

3/3 So this is what Jeffrey Goldberg had to say, about Mike Waltz' statement:

"If your eyeballs see us together, then I guess your eyeballs are seeing us together," Goldberg said of the photos.

But then came #Hegseth’s initial response to the disclosures. He attacked #JeffreyGoldberg, #TheAtlantic editor, as a “so-called journalist,” & sought refuge in a semantic argument, saying that he had never disclosed “war plans.”

So on Wed, The Atlantic published the actual text of what he had written.

Hegseth texted at 11:44AM the day of the attack: “1215et: F-18s LAUNCH (1st strike package)”

30 minutes before it happened.
