I don't believe the journalist contrived to insert himself into the group. If he did, he'd be in ADX Florence for the next 99 years on espionage charges. Which is still a possibility for him anyway.
Stupider coincidences have happened.
Supposedly this one happened because of similarity of names/initials.
A high end politician is going to have an address book of high end politicians and journalists.

This kind of thing happens all the time: when I was a fund manager, my email I was once added to an email discussion about a pending corporate transaction that I definitely shouldn't have been privy too.
Presumably my name was similar to someone they did want on the email.
Yep me too. I can think of several times where I have been sent stuff that I really shouldn't see.
Signalgate and how these incompetent clowns are bollixing our national security has certainly taken the spotlight off how these incompetent clowns are fucking up the economy.
(Whispered to my political allies: I write about DC politics for a living, so I love the Goldberg/Signal story as much as any of you. But I hope you realize that no one who isn't a news junky gives two shits about any of it. This is the most inside-the-beltway story ever.)
Small piece from the trenches: My mother has decided to enliven her retirement by joining the local parish council. At the last council meeting for their village 12 new planning applications had been lodged, of various sizes. Two adjacent villages have apparently seen similar levels of new applications.
Perhaps the government is really going to get the house building boom it so ardently hopes for after all? I look forward to outcry from the shires as every village discovers that they too are expected to play their part.
Where are you ?
The BBC did a piece on all this a while back, seemingly the most recalcitrant councils were geographically located fairly heftily in the southeast.
This is in the north. But the number of applications is a step change upwards - a mix of new & older ones that had previously been refused trying their luck under the new regime I think.
Betting post... betfair has Canada as basically a dead heat on most seats. But momentum is with the liberals, and they're ahead in latest polls. Possibly underpriced?
But it would be so me to find a way to lose money on Trump when he's not even on the ballot...
I think the key point is that the Liberals vote efficiency is much better than the Conservatives.
In 2021, the Liberals trailed the Conservatives with 33% against 34%, and won 160 seats vs 119.
In 2019, the Liberals again trailed the Conservatives by a percent, and had a similar lead.
The problem the Conservatives have is that their vote share is inefficient: too much is wasted on big majorities is Alberta and Saskatchewan, while the Liberals win in Ontario and Quebec with small leads.
Didn’t those Trump arselickers not think that Goldberg would just release the so called “ not classified “ messages .
Pretty obvious they lied and that info was clearly classified . They can hardly now argue to a court though that Goldberg should be prosecuted .
I doubt they could anyway. There's a huge amount of US case law which says journalists can publish classified information if there's a public interest defence. Which clearly there is here.
Had he published it while the operation was ongoing that would be a different matter.

History condemned to repeat itself. This sounds very much like the Westminster bubble’s conviction that Barnard Castle and then Partygate were Westminster bubble stories.
So far much of what Trump’s lot have done has been nasty, or just obnoxious. What this and the various DOGE cockups do is show them as incompetent too.
If you fill an administration essentially full of Dominic Cummingses (or is the plural “Dominics Cummings”?) with American accents you’re going to get yourself in trouble eventually.

It's a dilemma. Do you leave the group thus drawing attention to the error and signalling that you are aware of it, or keep quiet and never mention it?
In my case, I told the group I shouldn't have been on the list as soon as I saw it, and I reported myself to my firm's Head of Compliance. Fortunately, we didn't own either of the stocks in question, so at our end the impact was pretty minimal.
I suspect, however, that someone at the investment bank (amusingly it was my former employer) got a serious talking to.
Didn’t those Trump arselickers not think that Goldberg would just release the so called “ not classified “ messages .

Normal politics have been suspended.
Any problem like this Signal issue and the Trump team all sing from the same hymn sheet - lie, spread baseless conspiracy theories, slander and abuse opponents and then double down and lie some more. Anyone expecting them to engage with the actual facts of the matter are deluding themselves. They don't need to because, sadly, the MAGAs are too f""ing stupid to understand what's going on so it will continue ad infinitum. I think Europe and Canada can write off the US.

It's seriously would up all the national security mob, too. And they are not natural Dem voters.
It's also very easy to understand, and is on all the front pages.
Well, the Republicans are due to advance Ms Stefanik to a Senate vote next week, where I am sure she will be confirmed as UN Ambassador, and which will result in a Special Election in New York's 21st Congressional District.
This is going to be a real test of the the current administration's popularity - it's a district which typically votes about 60:40 Republican. It's also a significantly older district than the national average, with a lot of retirees. And with a median household income of $60k, it's poorer too.
Could the Dems win it?
Yes: turnout is likely to be well down on November's election, and there a number of college towns which are very blue.
Should the Republicans manage a fuck up with Social Security, and checks end up going out late or not at all, then I think a lot of older Republican voters could stay home.
If that were to happen, then Congress could get very interesting indeed.
