The Trump administration’s big group chat fail

Most of us can only wonder what goes on in U.S. national security leaders’ group chats, but The Atlantic’s Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg doesn’t have to. Last week, Goldberg was accidentally included in a Signal group chat with high-ranking members of the Donald Trump administration, in which they discussed imminent war operations. Yes, this actually happened. Plus, the whopping $2.1 billion verdict you might’ve missed over Roundup weed killer. And, we smile over what’s happened since congestion pricing went into effect in Manhattan — all while dropping some Latin vocab. Here’s everything we talked about today: “The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans” by The Atlantic “Bayer Drops After $2 Billion Verdict in Latest Roundup Trial” from Bloomberg “Third Circuit Rules Failure to Warn Claims Preempted by FIFRA” from the National Agricultural Law Center “Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal break Broadway box office records with ‘Othello’” by CNN “Congestion Pricing is a Policy Miracle” by Better Cities via Substack Got a question or comment for the hosts?

Breaking the Oath, Part 1

Tasha met Stewart soon after she finished high school and was working as a dance instructor in Las Vegas. He promised her the world — but instead gave her a life very different from her romantic dream. Over the next two decades, he pressured Tasha into providing emotional and financial support while she and their six children lived in poverty and isolation. Meanwhile, Stewart’s political ambitions grew and grew — because Tasha’s husband is Stewart Rhodes, founder of the alt-right militia group the Oath Keepers. He’s currently on trial for inciting the Jan. 6 insurrection. This episode was reported and produced by Reema Khrais and Hannah Harris Green, edited by Karen Duffin and engineered by Drew Jostad.
