Top Trump officials leaked war plans to a journalist by mistake

from Apple News Today

Trump officials inadvertently added a journalist to a text thread discussing sensitive military plans, The Atlantic reports. It all took place over a non-government-sanctioned messaging app called Signal. Trump’s border and immigration crackdown is sweeping up unexpected people, including some with valid documents and some for expressing their opinions on the administration. NBC and Politico have details on individuals caught up in the chaos.  The White House’s inconsistent messaging on tariffs will impact consumers and businesses. Laurel Wamsley with NPR describes how. Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal looks at where tariffs stand today.  Plus, new wildfires hit the Carolinas, the Trump administration invoked a rarely used legal privilege to avoid handing over flight data related to deported Venezuelan migrants, and why it might be time to delete your 23andMe data. Today’s episode was hosted by Shumita Basu.
