Pete Hegseth is a f*cking liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that could’ve gotten our pilots killed.
He needs to resign in disgrace immediately.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
We made this website to tell our story:

The Senate voted to advance Project 2025 architect Russell Vought as OMB director.
Vought has been quite clear that his intent is to dismantle the federal government.
Every Democrat voted NO, except for Fetterman who was absent.

"We're going to dynamite the US economy because Canada should have given NATO a few more dollars" is so simple-minded.
