First off, Pete Hegseth is a disgrace and should be fired.
Second, instead of being an asshole and trash-talking the journalist, he should be thanking him for not posting anything top-secret that’s still to come.

Wow, Wyden catches the SSA nominee Frank Bisignano in a lie in his first question. He asked Bisignano if he was involved in discussions about DOGE? Bisignano said no. But Wyden has a statement from a senior official that Bisignano insisted "on personally approving DOGE hires at the agency."

The latest crazy just proves what we all know. They are discussing everything on Signal to avoid any discovery or FOIA or archival laws. So illegal but here we are.

I'm no lawyer, but it seems like discussing war plans in Signal outside a SCIF is maybe just a little bit worse than using a private server to send emails that weren't even marked as classified. But what do I know.

Swalwell: Hegseth is still the Secretary of Defense? This moron texts out our war plans, putting our soldiers at risk, and he’s not gone?
Every one on that chat—they just fire off texts not knowing who is on the chat? They all should be fired if they don’t resign.

Japanese Incarceration Was a Warning About the Alien Enemies Act
The law was deployed to imprison both citizens and non-citizens during World War II. Survivors have a few things to say about Trump’s abuse of it now.

Jeffrey Goldberg and Pete Hegseth. One takes DOD protocols seriously:
Goldberg:
—Did not disclose sensitive information; and
—Left the chat when clear he was on chain (errantly) w/classified plans
We’ve asked Pee Wee amateurs to play in big leagues. Expect (a lot) more unforced errors.

I saw the work by Olga Lautman and he findings were disturbing: Steven Witkoff was in Russia when he was added to the signal chat. Russia has infiltrated Signal and used against Ukrainians. Very possible they have the classified signal info:
