Democratic Rep. Jared Moskowitz continued his trolling of the Signal group chat scandal with a meme featuring SNL fan favorite character Stefon.

Florida Democratic Representative Jared Moskowitz had social media users cackling with his continued trolling of the individuals involved in the Signal group chat scandal—this time by employing a meme featuring Stefon, the fan favorite Saturday Night Live character made famous by actor Bill Hader.

Moskowitz's post came amid revelations that Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg was invited into a Signal chat with high-level Trump administration officials, particularly Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, discussing military strategy surrounding war strikes in Yemen.


Who better to "comment" on matters regarding the chat titled “Houthi PC small group" than Stefon, who for several years appeared on Weekend Update to recommend unusual and progressively weirder destinations for tourists traveling to New York?

And who better to joke about them than Moskowitz, who this week mocked national security advisor Michael Waltz for using a strange series of emojis—consisting of fist bump, American flag, and fire emojis—while discussing war plans?

Channeling the character, Moskowitz wrote:

"DC’s hottest Signal chat is Houthis PC Small Group. This place has everything: war plans, flame emojis, the editor-in-chief of the Atlantic…"

You can see his post below.

People loved his response.



Speaking of the “Houthi PC small group," Democrat Ritchie Torres, who represents New York, has introduced legislation, dubbed the Houthi PC Small Group Act, which would make it illegal for officials to use outside messaging platforms like Signal to discuss classified information.

The acronym stands for “Homeland Operations and Unilateral Tactics Halting Incursions: Preventing Coordinated Subversion, Military Aggression and Lawless Levies Granting Rogue Operatives Unchecked Power," which suits the legislation quite nicely.

A spokesperson for Torres told The Hill that the bill is still being drafted but aims to clarify existing laws and increase penalties for making sensitive information vulnerable online. It remains unclear what classification levels the measure would cover if passed by Congress.

MAGA Senator Slammed After Scolding Americans For Whining About High Gas Prices Amid Iran War—And Wow

Kansas Republican Senator Roger Marshall chastised Americans for complaining about high gas prices and insisted they should consider that their "national security is even more important" than whatever blows are being dealt to their wallets at the gas pump.

Consumer prices are up 3.3% compared to a year ago, largely fueled by a surge in energy costs. The energy index jumped 10.9% in a single month as oil and gas prices climbed sharply. Amid the Iran war and the U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, oil has risen back to around $100 a barrel, pushing gasoline prices up by a record 25%.

A lot is going on in our world right now that gives us pause, and some of us might feel our hearts breaking under the weight of all of it. That makes acts of kindness, no matter how small they are, more important than ever before.

X user @oatmilkanie shouted out an unidentified child who clearly got the memo when they boarded a plane and discovered that the child had written a note for the next person to sit in their seat, directly on the paper nausea bag that's snuggled in the seat pocket in front of the passenger's knees.

Woman Creeped All The Way Out After Finding Hidden Door In The Ceiling Of Her Airbnb

A lot of us already cannot sleep well when we're visiting someone else's home or staying in a hotel, because we're uncomfortable in a different bed and maybe even a little creeped out in the unusual space.

But discovering a whole other room with a creepy door would quickly transform a space from a rental to something out of a horror movie real quick for anybody.
