  A moment of serious concern for America's Five Eyes partners:  —  “The director of the powerful wiretapping and cyberespionage service, the National Security Agency, was fired Thursday...The firings were advocated for by far-right activist Laura Loomer” www.washingtonpost.com/nat…

• @rvawonk Caroline Orr Bueno on bluesky

  The Director of the NSA was fired yesterday, along with his civilian deputy director.  His firing reportedly came after *Laura Loomer* told Trump he was disloyal.  —  At a time of unprecedented cyber threats, this is basically a welcome mat for our adversaries.  —  www.washington…

  Trump fired high-ranking members of the military ... because Laura Loomer told him to.  —  www.cnn.com/2025/04/03/p...

• @bennet.senate.gov Michael Bennet on bluesky

  The firing of one of our top cybersecurity officials at the urging of a known conspiracy theorist is outrageous.  We are already facing unprecedented cybersecurity threats and this only makes America more vulnerable.

  THIS IS COMPLETELY INSANE.  So is Loomer!  —  National Security Agency Director Gen. Timothy Haugh, who also heads U.S. Cyber Command, was fired with his civilian deputy at the NSA, Wendy Noble.  —  The firings were advocated for by far-right activist Laura Loomer during a meetin…

  So Laura Loomer, a looney tunes conspiracy theorist takes out a senior ranking cybercom General (Director of NSA) who protects us against #Chinese, #Russian & Iranian hacking threats & intrusions as well as #election security.  Make it make sense folks.  —  #Resist #Idiocracy  — …

  The Trump administration has fired the head of the National Security Agency, one of its top intelligence officials, after a request by right-wing conspiracy enthusiast Laura Loomer.  —  www.nytimes.com/2025/04/03/u...  [image]

• @mehdirhasan Mehdi Hasan on bluesky

  Imagine you're Timothy Haugh, a decorated general, confirmed unanimously by the Senate to head the NSA.  And while you're traveling abroad, you find out the President just fired you on the advice of a 9/11 truther whose bigotry once got her banned by Uber.

• @ericjgeller.com Eric Geller on bluesky

  Trump fired Tim Haugh, the head of NSA and Cyber Command, because Laura Loomer told him that Haugh had been “handpicked” by Mark Milley, Trump's former Joint Chiefs chairman and now a MAGA enemy, and was “disloyal.”  —  www.washingtonpost.com/national- sec...  [images]

• @flowingfire @flowingfire on bluesky

  In a disturbing move, the White House purged NSA director Gen. Timothy Haugh, an “honest and forthright leader who followed the law.”  —  He strongly fought Russian election/cultural/cyber interference.  Thus, it's a complete mystery why Putin's puppet would put us all at further…

  NEWS: NSA Director and head of U.S. Cyber Command, Gen. Timothy Haugh, was fired on Thursday.  No immediate reason was given.  The surprise dismissals came on the heels of the firings of at least 5 key aides on the WH National Security Council staff.  —  www.washingtonpost.com/na…

• @maxberger Max Berger on bluesky

  I'm sure the guys who texted war plans to a random journalist probably had a really good and definitely legal reason to fire the top two officials at the NSA.

• @foxcahn Albert Fox Cahn on bluesky

  As someone who fights surveillance, I wish I could be gleeful about so many intel leaders losing their jobs, but truly the only thing that terrifies me more than our surveillance arsenal in the hands of the NSA is putting it in the hands of Elon Musk.  😢 www.washingtonpost.com/na…

• @tonystark Tony Stark on bluesky

  It should be assumed that when they settle on a new leader that domestic surveillance was part of the deal.  Few other reasons that the big two at NSA would be outright fired unless they refused to do something unconstitutional.  [embedded post]

• @normative Julian Sanchez on bluesky

  I find few things quite as terriying as the prospect of Elon Musk bringing his special brand of efficiency to the NSA. www.washingtonpost.com/national- sec...

• @paleofuture Matt Novak on bluesky

  They just fired the head of the NSA.  I'm not sure what that means exactly, but in the Trump era I'd bet it's not good.
