House Democrat: Trump team has ‘done nothing’ to assure Signal leak won’t be repeated

Pete Hegseth, then Defense Secretary, disseminated operational details of a planned U.S. Attack on Yemen's Houthis via Signal.
Despite Pentagon warnings, Hegseth used Signal, a commercially available platform vulnerable to hostile monitoring.
Hegseth's Signal posts revealed launch times for F-18s and drones, plus strike timings well in advance.
Details included, "THIS IS WHEN THE FIRST BOMBS WILL DEFINITELY DROP" and specific launch times.
The leaks potentially compromised the operation, risked lives, and worried allies about intelligence sharing.

Trump nat’l security team auditions to be next Marx Brothers

We know Trump’s Cabinet members have no real experience in the jobs for which they have been confirmed. But we couldn’t have anticipated the royal fuck-up that occurred when the national security team put our national security, and our troops, in danger with their very casual chat, basically public, about classified plans to bomb Yemen.

LETTER: Signal leak would’ve landed me in the brig

I am appalled by the actions of U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and the 17 other people in the Signal group who participated in this national security scandal. During the Iraq War, I was a community health nurse in the U.S. Army and was responsible for collecting information regarding soldier’s cholesterol levels and some minor health information. I had to carry this troop readiness data in the 103-degree heat, wearing an oversized, bulle…
