S2 Ep1008: Michael Weiss, Ben Smith, and Annie Karni: Radioactively Stupid

<div>No matter how hard Republicans try to spin the sharing of top secret military attack plans on an insecure app, the colossal f***up of an administration that claimed it was rooting out incompetence is plain on its face. And while Jeffrey Goldberg told Tim Tuesday that he was mulling over releasing the Signal messages, he went ahead and did so after the administration accused him of lying and sneaking into the Signal group chat. Plus, Russia pretends to agree to a cease-fire, Breitbart kind of grows up, and a new book examines Capitol Hill's craziness—including Trump's control of the House GOP, Nancy Mace's delusions of grandeur, and Schumer's infinite faith in the Republican Party of old.<br /><br /><strong>Michael Weiss, Ben Smith, </strong>and<strong> Annie Karni </strong>join Tim Miller.<br /><br /><em>show notes<br /></em><br /></div><ul>
