Today’s notice: Republicans hope someone investigates Signal-gate, just not them. Cuts to the Department of Education’s legal offices have thrown thousands of cases into chaos. And some Democrats think they’ve found the answer to their prayers in Erza Klein.

A Signal of More to Come

Day 3 of Signal-gate made it clear there will at least be a Day 4, with telling divides developing among Republicans.

Just about every lawmaker has seen the full, largely unredacted messages at this point. Already there are reports of other possible security vulnerabilities with Trump administration officials. And there’s bipartisan appetite to see some governmental investigation into how The Atlantic’s editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, was added to the thread, what was sent and whether any of this should have been put in writing at all.
