Breaking on MS NOW: The Signalgate report contradicts Pete Hegseth's claims he did nothing wrong. It shows he "violated policy by using a non-approved device," a source who read the report says.
Hegseth failed to preserve records. The report says he put the operations and service people at risk.

The petition could indeed increase pressure on the administration, which is currently facing pushback from both Republicans and Democrats after reports that the initial strike on September 2 was a “double tap” strike conducted after Hegseth ordered the military to “kill everybody.”

There is a temptation is to describe what happened yesterday as somehow a “new low.”
But it’s not a new low. It’s the same old low. A scene we’ve seen repeated so often there is a kind of numbness to it.
