Pete Hegseth and Michael Waltz are responsible for an egregious mishandling of classified information that put our troops in danger — and they've refused to acknowledge the gravity of this breach.
They need to be fired or do the right thing and resign. Now.

Yes, a woman who's just recently arrived in the state, doesn't currently live in the district, and is going after a liberal member of Congress solely on the basis that she's almost as old as Bernie. This isn't aiming at a conservadem. So you all can keep AOC's name out of it.

This is a deadly serious failure—who knows what other classified information they are playing fast & loose with?
Many of these people should never have had their jobs to begin with & everyone involved needs to be held accountable immediately.

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.
