Most of us can only wonder what goes on in U.S. national security leaders’ group chats, but The Atlantic’s Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg doesn’t have to. Last week, Goldberg was accidentally included in a Signal group chat with high-ranking members of the Donald Trump administration, in which they discussed imminent war operations. Yes, this actually happened. Plus, the whopping $2.1 billion verdict you might’ve missed over Roundup weed killer. And, we smile over what’s happened since congestion pricing went into effect in Manhattan — all while dropping some Latin vocab.

Here’s everything we talked about today:

“The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans” by The Atlantic
“Bayer Drops After $2 Billion Verdict in Latest Roundup Trial” from Bloomberg
“Third Circuit Rules Failure to Warn Claims Preempted by FIFRA” from the National Agricultural Law Center
“Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal break Broadway box office records with ‘Othello’” by CNN
“Congestion Pricing is a Policy Miracle” by Better Cities via Substack
