Yemen: Last News

Saturday Night Live opened with a skit on the biggest scandal of the wee, so-called Signal Gate.

Ellise Shafer John Oliver has weighed in on the “Signalgate” scandal, in which members of President Donald Trump‘s administration accidentally added The Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg to their Signal group chat about Yemen attack plans. On the latest episode of “Last Week Tonight,” Oliver said that Trump “brought us another week of chaos” with his team’s handling of the situation, mentioning how defense secretary Pete Hegseth initially denied that the chat was about war plans and national security advisor Michael Waltz said Goldbergs’ contact was “sucked in” to his phone.

Colin Jost and Michael Che had a lot of news to dig into from the week, but nothing elicited a greater reaction from the audience than the latter’s dig at Will Smith‘s first album in two decades.

Ethan Shanfeld “Saturday Night Live” took on the Department of Defense group text scandal in its cold open with host Mikey Madison. Madison, a recent Oscar winner for “Anora,” played a teenage girl gossiping with her friends (Ego Nwodim and Sarah Sherman) about high school and crushes in a group chat infiltrated by U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, played by Andrew Dismukes.

Taylor Swift came up in a US Senate Intelligence Committee hearing, after the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic was allegedly accidentally added to a Signal group chat of national security officials discussing a bombing campaign in Yemen earlier this week.The journalist, Jeffrey Goldberg, remained in the group undetected as the cabinet members discussed policy and the potential wave of bombings, which critics said put national security at risk and has sparked both backlash and ridicule.Democratic Virginia Senator Mark Warner was explaining the dangers of alienating allies to the Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, and FBI Director Kash Patel and pointed to Swift’s shows in Vienna last year becoming the target of a terror plot. He pointed out that sharing intel ended up saving lives.Swift cancelled the three ‘Eras’ shows after police announced that they had narrowly foiled an ISIS plot to attack one of Swift’s shows in the country.“That sharing of information saves lives, and it’s not hypothetical — we all remember, because it was declassified — last year when Austria worked with our community to make sure to expose a plot against Taylor Swift in Vienna that could have killed literally hundreds of individuals,” he said.At the time, Swift spoke out about the scrapped shows, saying: “Having our Vienna shows cancelled was devastating.

If you didn’t see the news, the Trump administration allegedly included a journalist, The Atlantic‘s editor in chief Jeffrey Goldberg, in a group chat regarding the United States’ plans to bomb Houthi targets across Yemen on March 15.

Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor After President Trump and other administration officials denied that a Signal group text about U.S. attack plans in Yemen that seemingly accidentally included The Atlantic‘s top editor did not contain “classified” information, the magazine has published the full text exchange showing Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth sharing specific details of the planned bombing, including timing, aircraft and weapons that were used in the attack.

The Atlantic published the U.S. attack plans that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth shared on the Signal messaging app, in a group that included other top Trump administration officials and, by mistake, the media outlet’s editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg.

National Security Adviser Michael Waltz said that he built a Signal group chat that mistakenly included a journalist, The Atlantic‘s editor in chief Jeffrey Goldberg, whose bombshell story detailed how top Trump advisers shared war plans on the texting platform.

The White House’s strategy to deal with the fallout over a Signal app security breach is a familiar one: Blame the media.

Annika Pham Danish filmmaker Janus Metz (“Borg vs McEnroe,” “Armadillo”), most recently attached to Season 2 of “Star Wars” series “Andor,” has his mind and heart fully-immersed these days not in a galaxy far, far away, but in real-life stories of human beings, risking their lives in the Mediterranean, in hope of a better life in Europe. With his observational doc “Rescue,” selected for CPH:DOX’s co-production and co-financing showcase CPH:Forum in Copenhagen, the director has teamed up with his life partner Sine Plambech, a renowned anthropologist, filmmaker and migrant researcher.

Jack Dunn On this week’s episode of “The Daily Show,” Jon Stewart went after President Trump’s defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, for leaking top secret U.S. war plans to The Atlantic by accidentally including the publication’s editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, in a group chat. Before diving into the brief segment, Stewart sarcastically prefaced the audience by saying he wanted to provide a “quick update on an administration that is, once again, carrying out its planswith competence and professionalism.” Stewart then played a series of news clips illustrating the situation.

The Traitors, Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen and The White Lotus all caught strays as Jon Stewart took on the topic of free speech during his Monday night monologue.

The Trump administration allegedly included a journalist in a group chat regarding The United States’ plans to bomb Houthi targets across Yemen on March 15.

Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor Pete Hegseth, President Trump’s secretary of defense, inadvertently included the top editor of The Atlantic in a Signal text chat group revealing the U.S.’s attack plans on Houthi rebels in Yemen earlier this month, according to the magazine. The Atlantic’s editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, reported in a nearly 3,500-word story published Monday that the U.S.’s most senior national-security leaders included him in a group chat on Signal about upcoming military strikes in Yemen against the Houthis, an Iran-backed terrorist group.

UPDATED, with Trump comment: Many journalists have stories of how they’ve been inadvertently sent sensitive emails, texts and files, but The Atlantic editor in chief Jeffrey Goldberg‘s revelation likely tops them all: He was apparently accidentally added to a text chain of the highest ranking Trump administration national security officials as they outlined military strikes on the Houthi rebels in Yemen.
