NBC has confirmed what we have been saying for weeks. Hegseth clearly copied classified strike schedules from a secure device to his personal phones. This alone would get a line service member thrown in prison. But when it’s SecDef we are supposed to ignore it.
Info Pete Hegseth shared with wife, brother came from top general's secure messages
Hegseth has denied the information he shared was classified, but it was given to him on a system for sensitive and classified information, sources told NBC News.

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago:

—Pioneering cancer researcher;
—*Arrested* at airport in Boston;
—Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana;
—"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research.

Read it.

New images could change cancer diagnostics, but ICE detained the Harvard scientist who analyzes them
Without scientist Kseniia Petrova’s expertise, no one can fully unlock the data’s potential, putting crucial advancements in early cancer detection at risk.

They had lawyers, trials, most were given pretrial release, allowed to testify in their own defense, got discovery, could call witnesses, could cross-examine witnesses, could present mitigation at sentencing, and had a right to appeal.

So the administration ADMITS it mistakenly arrested and sent a father to El Salvador, but then can’t right the wrong because, well, he’s in El Salvador?

Is this right?

Current and former U.S. military pilots expressed bewilderment after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth refused to acknowledge that he should not have disclosed sensitive information in an unsecured group chat.

“If you can’t admit when you’re wrong, you’re going to kill somebody,” one pilot said.

Elon calls this “a revolution” and trots out the sociopathic line Lutnick said about seniors who don’t get their social security checks — saying the “fraudsters” are who complain loudest.

Not an ounce of empathy among them.

Saving you a click, perhaps: not that Bill Murray.
"That’s why the CIA guards don’t allow cell phones, or even Fitbits, into their buildings. Which brings us back to Bill Murray’s question: Why was the director of the CIA using a cell phone at CIA headquarters?"

The fact that the Department of Justice has not, and will never, launch an investigation into this massive national security breach tells you all you need to know about this lawless and profoundly corrupt Administration.

Yesterday, Gabbard testified: “There was no classified material that was shared in that Signal chat.”

So the Director of National Intelligence lied to the US Senate.
After the Atlantic published the texts this morning, Tulsi Gabbard is confronted today on why she lied in her testimony to the Senate yesterday. She says she misremembered.

According to a source I have at the CIA, Director Radcliffe lied today under oath. Signal is absolutely not loaded on agency computers. As a matter of fact it’s specifically prohibited as an outside app. Skype is allowed for conference calls but not Signal. He’s lying. @markwarner.bsky.social

In case you’ve forgotten how we used to treat this sort of thing…

There would be bipartisan calls for investigations

Impeachment would be a foregone conclusion

Several people would’ve resigned or been fired by end of day

Back when responsible adults were in charge, not this insane clown posse

The most obvious lesson to draw from the leaked Signal chat is that these people really are morons. It's not a public act, it's not a schtick, there's not some secret back room where they drop the facade. They are genuinely stupid, incompetent people.

Obviously, Jeffrey Goldberg has the texts that Hegseth claims that he doesn’t have. The Senate or House Armed Services Chairs can easily and quickly verify who is lying about this. If Hegseth blatant lied about this on camera tonight, how in the world can he continue in this job?

Bacon should insist they all resign, and if he won’t, people should ask him why he’s ok with senior national security officials discussing military operations in a venue where bacon is sure our adversaries are listening
Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) said there’s “no doubt” that Russia and China were monitoring the U.S. officials’ devices used for a war plan text chat.
“I will guarantee you, 99.99 percent with confidence, Russia and China are monitoring those two phones,” Bacon told CNN’s Manu Raju.

The Fifth Amendment says due process is due all persons, whether the number eight or eight million.

And if there were a mass-violation exception to the Constitution, why have a constitutional at all?
And here we go -- Fox News is now saying we should get rid of "due process" because it's too cumbersome.

Brian Kilmeade: "But I also think it's not practical to think that we can do due process on 8 million people."
