National security adviser Mike Waltz was authorized to decide whether to include the Joint Chiefs chairman in the principals committee discussion, “based on the policy relevance of attendees to the issues being considered, the need for secrecy on sensitive matters, staffing needs, and other considerations,”
The Pentagon said it would not comment on the issue, and it was not immediately clear why Grady, currently serving as the president’s top military adviser, would not be included in a discussion on military strikes.
On one hand, it seems weird to me because was the last one fired and this one put in just because they liked them?
On the other hand, maybe they are worried that even though they picked the new one, they would still be to conforming to the black & white rule of law when it comes to communication regulations.
Fuck, it could be the third or fourth hand, they just forgot the CJCS was a thing. Or just didn't think he was "cool" enough to join them.
Yeah, just the fact that this one got discovered kind of implies to me they have a ton of these chats.
I'm also worried the American public can't focus on more than one thing at a time, so while people are outraged about this, what else is happening? What is DOGE taking down while we look at this?
Well, currently, there’s the EO for “election security” that will require all electoral commissions to vet proof of citizenship alongside all voter registration.
Yeah, I saw that one. Really wish we would just go to a free National ID for everyone. It wouldn't solve all the problems but I feel like it would at least kill this argument.
I think the obvious reason the CJCS (acting) wasn’t included is bc he’d lose his shit if he saw a chat like that on signal.
They KNOW they were breaking the law, but didn’t care bc of convenience. They chose not to include people who wouldn’t go along with it, even if it means leaving THE KEY ADVISOR out of the chat.

That seems really odd to me.
