People are joking because it’s absurd—but this is deadly serious.
Project 2025 explicitly calls for government officials to use comms systems outside FOIA and subpoena reach.
This is not incompetence. It’s the plan.

Yes, yes, and yes Kara! The reason they used signal was not only because they are inept, but because the entire circle is encouraged in order to avoid archiving what is supposed to be archived for reasons of accountability. Part of the “2025” playbook for that very reason.
