Twitter occupies a strange place in national security circles, officially banned within most workplaces but still a go-to source for political gossip and occaisonal cause for a high-profile firing, as with the recent @NatSecWonk account.

Established in 2009, it's a copy of Twitter in nearly every respect, right down to the blue bird.
