The meeting came after a recent string of social media attacks by Loomer on #Trump administration officials, including Alex Wong, the dpty #NationalSecurity adviser. Wong’s boss, #MikeWaltz, has been under fire…for more than a week after…[his #Signal Houthi PC group chat was exposed].
…But Loomer…questioned Wong’s loyalty to the admin because his wife worked as a #DOJ lawyer during the #Biden & #Obama admins, & because her father had been a large shareholder in a Chinese satellite maker.
Loomer walked into the WH with a sheaf of papers, which amounted to a mass of opposition research attacking the character & loyalty of numerous #NSC ofcls. She proceeded to excoriate them in front of their boss, the #NationalSecurity adviser #MikeWaltz, who was also in the meeting.
Loomer’s rhetoric & actions have been so #extreme that she has alienated others even on the #FarRight. She has shared a #ConspiracyTheory on social media calling the Sept 11th 2001, terrorist attacks an “inside job.”
Welllll, fuuuuck.......

#NationalSecurityAdviser #MikeWaltz's team set up at least 20 #Signal chats to discuss official work on issues including #Ukraine, #China, #Gaza and more, according to sources who've been personally added to the chats.
We should look at the bright side.
At least they upgraded from AOL.

‘F***ing Idiot’ Mike Waltz Was...
Meta now knows major sensative US military plans and capabilities.
Oops.
Trump, as usual, says he knows nothing about it.

The Washington Post reported Tuesday that Waltz and his staff used private Google email accounts for official government business.
#MikeWaltz has had less sensitive, but potentially exploitable information sent to his #Gmail, such as his schedule & other work documents, said ofcls, who, like others, spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe what they viewed as problematic handling of information. The ofcls said Waltz would sometimes copy & paste from his schedule into #Signal to coordinate meetings & discussions.
A snr #MikeWaltz aide used the commercial email service for highly technical conversations w/colleagues at other govt agencies involving sensitive #military positions & powerful #weapons systems relating to an ongoing conflict, acc/to emails reviewed by WaPo. While the #NSC official used his #Gmail account, his interagency colleagues used govt-issued accounts, headers from the email correspondence show.
Members of #Trump’s #NationalSecurity Council #NSC, including WH #NationalSecurity adviser #MikeWaltz, have conducted govt business over personal #Gmail accounts, acc/to documents reviewed by WaPo & interviews with three #US officials.
Unsurprisingly, it keeps getting worse
#MikeWaltz & staff used #Gmail for government communications
#Trump’s #NationalSecurity adviser is trying to manage his way out of a crisis. But new revelations about his team’s operational security are piling up.

3 key elections today:
#Florida: 2 special elections for seats in the US #House to replace disgraced congressman & initial #Trump US AG pick, #MattGaetz & obviously incapable #NationalSecurity Adviser who set up a detailed military operation group chat on Signal & added a journalist to, #MikeWaltz.
#Wisconsin: voters will pick a new member of the state’s Supreme Court in an election #ElonMusk has contributed millions to & is essentially paying people to vote for his MAGA candidate.

Trump's 'idiot' national security aide under fire for hosting other sensitive Signal group chats
> White House national security advisor #MikeWaltz set up group chats beyond the one that featured a freewheeling discussion of U.S. military strikes on the #Houthis in #Yemen, according to a new report.
> President #DonaldTrump has agreed that Waltz was the initial cause of the stunning breach
