Looks like I've made an embarrassing public mistake. Time to do what alpha males like me do in these situations: whine and avoid accountability

BREAKING: President Trump signed an executive order that aims to upend U.S. elections and disenfranchise millions of eligible voters.

This is an extreme abuse of power — we'll see him in court.

This is more like it!

If Trump can disappear green card holders for protesting war, he can disappear you.

If he can disappear visa holders for criticizing him, he can disappear you.

Top Trump officials' Signal blunder becomes top news story of 2025 A spokesperson for The Atlantic said it was "one of the top subscription driving stories" for the magazine of all time.

The Atlantic story detailing how Trump aides inadvertently invited the magazine's editor to a Signal chat where highly sensitive information about a military strike was shared has easily become the top news story of the year globally, according to new data.

5 high-level CDC officials are leaving in the latest turmoil for the public health agency Five high-level officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are leaving. The departures were announced Tuesday at a meeting of agency senior leaders.

"Leaving" implies that it was voluntary
