Resubscribing to The Atlantic

I started up our subscription to The Atlantic again this morning. Any magazine with the courage to publish this piece deserves a subscription: “Here Are the Attack Plans That Trump’s Advisers Shared on Signal.” That’s a gift link, from the newly resubscribed.

[I thought from the get-go that Marco Rubio would be the first to leave this shambling administration due to Leon trouble. Now, who knows?]

it's even worse than just using signal -- their private info is on the web as well as venmo info isn't private. see https://newrepublic.com/post/193220/donald-trump-security-advisers-private-info-group-chat. from simon rosenberg's call tonight

It’s appalling, but, somehow, not surprising.

and here is the article in Wired about the Venmo accounts and a repeat of a certain vp account: https://www.wired.com/story/michael-waltz-left-his-venmo-public/
I think some of this has to do with the arrogance of people at this level. when I worked in DC I saw a lot of it. there are a lot of people who jump on apps who really don't think about the security of it or how to keep their info safe.

Ronald Reagan was teflon protected. These guys—I don't even have the words. Brown Shirt protected?
You've inspired me. I'm going to go get my first ever Atlantic subscription.
