President Trump's national security adviser accidentally added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic to a group text in which top officials debated highly sensitive plans for bombing Yemen, the magazine reported today.

• The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg said he was added to a Signal thread earlier this month that included Vice President Vance, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and National Security Adviser Michael Waltz, along with other officials.

📱Why it matters: The breach exposed classified information and private deliberations among some of the nation's highest-ranking officials.

• The U.S. government doesn't permit the use of Signal to transmit classified information.

NSC spokesperson Brian Hughes said in a statement: "At this time, the message thread that was reported appears to be authentic, and we are reviewing how an inadvertent number was added to the chain."

• "The thread is a demonstration of the deep and thoughtful policy coordination between senior officials," Hughes added. "The ongoing success of the Houthi operation demonstrates that there were no threats to our servicemembers or our national security,"

🌎 The intrigue: The Atlantic article is headlined, "The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans." It reports Vance told the group as momentum built for a strike in Yemen: "I think we are making a mistake. ... There is a real risk that the public doesn't understand this or why it's necessary. ... I just hate bailing Europe out again."

• The Atlantic notes that the administration contends America's European allies benefit from U.S. Navy protection of international shipping lanes.
• Hegseth wrote back: "I fully share your loathing of European free-loading. It's PATHETIC."

Trump told reporters when asked about the story: "I know nothing about it."

• Rep. Chris Deluzio (D-Pa.), a member of the Armed Services Committee, said: "This is an outrageous national security breach and heads should roll."

Democrats on Capitol Hill are increasingly nervous about primaries from younger, angrier and more liberal challengers.

The SEC has seven teams in this year's Sweet Sixteen — a new record for any one conference.

• Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Florida, Kentucky, Ole Miss and Tennessee are all in the mix.

The SEC also set the record for most teams in the tournament, with 14. And only two SEC teams — Kentucky and Tennessee — play each other in the Sweet 16, so the conference's historic dominance is poised to continue.
