Saturday Night Live opened with a skit on the biggest scandal of the wee, so-called Signal Gate.
The show had Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Vice President JD Vance (Bowen Yang) and Secretary of State Marco Rubio entering a teen girl group text chat. They share state secrets, as the girls are bewildered by the flood of information being sent their way.
The Atlantic this week published editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg’s account of being mistakenly added to a Signal group chat with top Trump administration figures, with Hegseth shared detailed attack plans on Houthi rebels in Yemen. The bombshell story has dominated headlines all week, as the Trump administration has tried to claim that the information shared was not classified.
More to come.
