How else is anyone expected to crack open a cold one with the boys and talk about the size of the shit they just took?
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had the consumer messaging app Signal set up on a computer in his office at the Pentagon so that he could send and receive instant messages in a space where personal cellphones are not permitted, according to two people with knowledge of the matter.

It's pretty wild how thorough and systematic the GOP playbook for disassembling the government is in contrast to the democrats. At this point it's a smoothly oiled machine: force way into building and systems, fire probationary employees, bully leaders out, wipe out rest with a RIF. Over and over.
