Jeffrey Goldberg, editor in chief of The Atlantic, was apparently included in a Trump administration group chat on Signal in which top officials debated and then discussed details of attacks against Houthi rebels in Yemen. Do you think it was appropriate for top U.S. officials to use Signal to discuss sensitive military operations?
Yes, it was fine to use Signal for coordination

In the stunning report, Goldberg claimed Waltz connected with him on Signal on March 11 and, two days later, he was invited to join a chain called the "Houthi PC small group," in which they discussed strikes against the Houthi militant group in Yemen — seemingly unaware of the journalist's presence in the group. Should U.S. officials face consequences for mishandling sensitive military information in this case? Yes, they should be held accountable for their actions
