Trump: “So the [previously unknown invasion plans of Yemen] was not classified,” Mr. Trump said during a meeting with U.S. ambassadors at the White House. “Now if it’s classified information, it’s probably a little bit different, but I always say, you have to learn from every experience.”

The NY Times - Trump Administration Abruptly Cuts Billions From State Health Services

breaking

The Department of Health and Human Services has abruptly canceled more than $12 billion in federal grants to states that were being used for tracking infectious diseases, mental health services, addiction treatment and other urgent health issues.

The cuts are likely to further hamstring state health departments, which are already underfunded and struggling with competing demands from chronic diseases, resurgent infections like syphilis and emerging threats like bird flu. ...

On Tuesday, Andrew Nixon, a spokesman for the federal Department of Health and Human Services, said in a statement: “The Covid-19 pandemic is over, and H.H.S. will no longer waste billions of taxpayer dollars responding to a nonexistent pandemic that Americans moved on from years ago.”

It's called "denial" ... 😟

I also see the orange buffoon and his mob have moved to the usual deflect/deny/delay strategy, blaming the journalist (who was invited into the chat), rather than, ooh, I don't know...taking responsibility for the screwup?

Of course, if Lloyd Austin (Peter Hegseth's predecessor) had done something like this, my God, Republicans would never let it go 🙄

https://www.axios.com/2025/03/26/trump-jan-6-rioters-compensation-fund-discussions

Newsmax's Greg Kelly asked Trump during their interview whether there would be a "compensation fund" for the roughly 1,500 defendants he issued a sweeping pardon for and the president confirmed "there's talk about that."

This is disgusting (maybe better in the Deplorables thread)

Trump maintained during the Newsmax interview that at the Capitol were there "peacefully and patriotically" and said "a lot of the people that are in the government now talk about" compensating them "because a lot of the people in government really like that group of people."

If I was an American taxpayer I would be absolutely ropeable about any of my tax dollars going to those thugs.

"Ashli Babbitt was a really good person who was a big MAGA fan, Trump fan, and she was innocently standing there," he said.

What reality does this moron live in? She was caught inside the Capitol trying to break through a window! 😠😡

Because the gods took pity on the US, this week by an unbelievable coincidence, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe were originally scheduled to testify before Congress this week as part of the annual Worldwide Threats Assessment hearings.

So by sheer dumb luck, the agenda shifted significantly. That meeting went ahead, but now it's about the inadvertent sharing of sensitive military plans via a Signal group chat that included journalist Jeffrey Goldberg.

Gabbard, Ratcliffe face fresh questions from House on Yemen war chats: Washington Post
...
Senators had asked the officials on Tuesday whether the Signal chat included “information on weapons packages, targets or timing,” to which Gabbard responded that she couldn’t recall, [Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee] Himes noted.

He then read aloud from a text message from [formerly Fox New presenter now United States Secretary of Defense] Hegseth that was contained in the fuller transcript published Wednesday morning:

“TIME NOW (1144et): Weather is FAVORABLE. Just CONFIRMED w/CENTCOM we are a GO for mission launch

1215et: F-18s LAUNCH (1st strike package)

1345: ‘Trigger Based’ F-18 1st Strike Window Starts (Target Terrorist is @ his Known Location so SHOULD BE ON TIME — also, Strike Drones Launch (MQ-9s)

1410: More F-18s LAUNCH (2nd strike package)”

[Congressman] Himes looked up: “Do either of the directors want to reflect on their testimony yesterday?”

“My answer yesterday was based on my recollection, or the lack thereof,” [participant on Signal call, the US Director of National Intelligence] Gabbard said.

“So … less than two weeks ago, you were on a Signal chat that had all of this information about F-18s and MQ-9 Reapers and targets on strike, and you, in that two-week period, simply forgot that that was there?” Himes asked. “That’s your testimony?”

“My testimony is I did not recall the exact details of what was included there,” Gabbard said.

Himes then quizzed Gabbard on her familiarity with her office’s own classification guidance for information, after she claimed again Tuesday that the information in the Signal chat was not classified.

Himes read aloud from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence’s classification guidance.

“I’m reading from your classification guidance, and the criteria is ‘information providing indication or advance warning that the U.S. or its allies are preparing an attack.’ Do you recall what [level] your own guidance would suggest that that be classified?” Himes asked.

“I don’t have the specifics in front of me,” Gabbard responded.

“Let me help you,” Himes said. According to the guidance governing the classification criteria from Gabbard’s office, such information “should be classified as top secret,” he said.

Wow the "I don't recollect"s are amazing. Of course if a Democrat had done this, well...they would suddenly know everything and be 100% across every single interaction.

The hypocrisy of Republicans is the thing that p---ses me off the most about them 😠
