The team of Trump's national security adviser Michael Waltz set up at least 20 #Signal group chats for crises across the world: https://www.politico.com/news/2025/04/02/waltzs-team-set-up-at-least-20-signal-group-chats-for-crises-across-the-world-00266845
It seems #Signal has more than one set of emojis. The ones available for including in a text are not the same set as available for sending stand-alone or for replying to a text. Why?

The review also will “review compliance with classification & records retention requirements,” Stebbins wrote. He requested that the #Defense Dept designate 2 points of contact within 5 days, with work done both in Washington & at the headquarters of US Central Command in Tampa, Florida.
Steven Stebbins, the #Pentagon’s acting #IG, said in a memo to #SecDef #PeteHegseth & Dpty #DOD Secy Steve Feinberg that the review will “determine the extent to which the Secretary of #Defense & other DoD personnel complied with DoD policies & procedures for the use of a commercial messaging application for official business.”
The #Defense Dept inspector general’s office said Thurs that it will scrutinize top #Trump admin officials’ use of #Signal, an unclassified messaging app to coordinate a highly sensitive #military operation last month in Yemen, complying with a request from #Republicans & #Democrats in #Congress.

Kontrolliert ihr alle auch regelmäßig, ob euch US Politiker und Militär in #Signal Gruppenchats eingeladen haben?
dedicated @signalapp portable comms device that lets me send messages and manage my existing laptop/desktop devices when?
about fuckin' done with the world of #smartphones but I want to keep #Signal
If you live in a country that blocks Signal communications, this link may be helpful. Also this Signal blog contains instructions if you wish to assist people in countries censoring Signal communications. #censorship #privacy #signal
The meeting came after a recent string of social media attacks by Loomer on #Trump administration officials, including Alex Wong, the dpty #NationalSecurity adviser. Wong’s boss, #MikeWaltz, has been under fire…for more than a week after…[his #Signal Houthi PC group chat was exposed].
…But Loomer…questioned Wong’s loyalty to the admin because his wife worked as a #DOJ lawyer during the #Biden & #Obama admins, & because her father had been a large shareholder in a Chinese satellite maker.
US government: sharing info about the world's crises in many more group chats
Last week, it was revealed that secret information is exchanged on Signal in the US government. Now it is known that there are more group chats.
If this is merit-based hiring, yeah, I'm good.
Y'all can keep that bullshit!
Not just Signal: Michael Waltz reportedly used Gmail for government messages
US-Regierung: Austausch über die Krisen der Welt in viel mehr Gruppenchats
Vorige Woche wurde enthüllt, dass in der US-Regierung geheime Informationen auf Signal ausgetauscht werden. Nun wird bekannt, dass es mehr Gruppenchats gibt.
The best thing for Signals growth isn't [insert latest fuckery from the US], it's the enshitification of Discord.
One ad, and I've already set up Signal for daily use.
It should be obvious what happens if I see more 
@theDuesentrieb Zu Matrix sehe ich noch weniger Chancen. #Signal hat mittlerweile eine wirklich gute Verbreitung.
