Secretary Hegseth is an embarrassment and a threat to national security. His actions put the lives of U.S. troops at risk, and the IG report confirms that. He should be fired.
Newly released, unclassified IG report confirms that Hegseth's "transmission of nonpublic operational information over Signal to an uncleared journalist & others 2 to 4 hours before planned strikes using his personal cell phone exposed sensitive DoD information." In doing so, he

An independent watchdog found that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared sensitive war plans on Signal, recklessly endangering our brave troops. Secretary Hegseth should take responsibility for his actions – and a growing list of scandals – and resign. Our men and women in

Major Pete Hegseth, in 2016: "... that's why the military said it won't follow unlawful orders from their Commander in Chief. There’s a standard. There’s an ethos. Me in 2025: "You can refuse illegal orders." Watch for yourself.

“Stable genius.” Let’s run that MRI back.
The president posted/reposted more than 100 times last night from 7:20 pm to midnight, attacking Democrats and immigrants, pushing conspiracy theories (including from Alex Jones), proudly sharing the video when he called a woman reporter “stupid,” and much more. Wild stuff.

I am heartbroken by the shooting of two National Guard Soldiers near the White House. My prayers are with their families and all men and women who answer the call to service. Violence like this has no place in America.
