“Let’s talk about war plans on signal” is giving 2025 version of “let’s route White House emails through the RNC.”
Both illegal. Both under Republican Presidents. Both with zero consequences.

Disgraceful response. They never take responsibility. Pete Hegseth put our national security at risk. He is completely unfit to lead.
Reporter: Can you share how your information about war plans was shared with a journalist?
Hegseth: So you are talking about a deceitful and highly discredited so-called journalist who has made a profession of peddling hoaxes

Top intelligence committees need to begin an investigation into Pete Hegseth's epic Signal chat mishap. ASAP.
There should be televised hearings so all Americans have transparency on how such an enormous breach of national security could take place in first place.

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

These new tariffs may be the single most reckless thing an American President has ever done.
The Wall Street Journal with a scathing view of Trump’s unprovoked trade war. Calls it “The Dumbest Trade War in History.” Going after México and Canada makes absolutely no sense. Trump simply like tariffs. He would like Americans to import nothing.

The White House ordering DOJ to drop pending prosecutions is a breach of the department’s traditional independence that would be an earthshaking scandal under ordinary circumstances.
To clarify this, Trump commuted the sentences of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers convicted in seditious conspiracy cases. He has pardoned everyone else who was convicted, including those who assaulted the police. And he has ordered DOJ to drop any pending cases.
