The disclosure of highly classified information in a group chat wasn’t just some one-off security failure.
It was a window into how this Administration operates: with incompetence, recklessness, contempt for the truth, & a reflexive impulse to try to cover things up.

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.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth disclosed war plans in a group chat that included the editor in chief of The Atlantic two hours before U.S. troops launched attacks against the Houthi militia in Yemen, the White House said. It was an extraordinary breach of U.S. national security intelligence.
Hegseth Disclosed Secret War Plans in a Group Chat
The conversation among the defense secretary and other national security officials on a commercial messaging app mistakenly included the editor in chief of The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg.

What you have to understand about Pete Hegseth copying and pasting war plans into Signal is that it almost certainly means he’s got classified documents on his personal UNSECURE devices. Signal isn't on a secure device...are our war plans on his personal devices? @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.
The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Schumer’s decision is an unconscionable surrender that shows he does not have what it takes to meet this moment, and the charade he pulled yesterday makes it even worse. Time for new leadership in the Democratic Party.

What is wrong with giving a new leader a chance? A new approach, a fresh approach. Someone who has integrity, leadership skills, represents a key state, has guts and the confidence of the base. Time to put ego aside and screw seniority. This is my nominee.

📌BREAKING: Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer just announced that he plans to vote to advance a government funding bill, which is a green light for Musk/Trump to continue terrorizing Americans.
📌I am calling for him to step down immediately. He is no damn leader.

Democrats, this is a strong national voice to lead the opposition against Trump’s dismantling of government and destruction of institutions.
Our opposition has gained overwhelming urgency amid the rapid-fire pace of Trump’s efforts to execute his demolition agenda.
Thank you, Sen. Mark Kelly.
