On March 24, 2025, appointees from Trump's administration engaged in actions that potentially compromised the safety of military personnel involved in a classified operation.
They used an insecure application called "SIGNALS" on their personal cell phones to discuss operational details of an upcoming air strike, including targets, weapons platforms, and timing. Adversaries could have exploited this information to set up defenses and deploy resources, endangering U.S. service members.
Such actions may be considered serious offenses and could be subject to severe penalties under federal law. During a Senate hearing, the Trump appointees claimed the material was not classified. Trump stated he had no knowledge of the incident, though historically, the president as commander-in-chief is typically informed. Calls for investigation and potential charges against individuals involved have been voiced, though the Trump-appointed head of the FBI indicated that such actions would not proceed.
If those airmen had been killed, perhaps Trump could explain how MAGA is making things better to the wives and mothers of those folks.
The defense mill of the Republican party are hard at work this morning defending and minimizing what took place. Hegseth blatantly lied to the reporters who questioned him on this. All are insisting that no secrets were revealed on the chat that didn't take place. Trump says people make mistakes, so of course no one should lose their job over this or be investigated. Just what will it take for their to be any consequences of ineptitude? The group holds Europe in disdain. I don't think they will be welcomed with open arms by our now lost allies.
And on we go. If the stakes were not so critically high and dangerous, I might manage a chuckle. All I can do is snarl and grunt, put one foot in front of the other, stay as healthy as possible, use talents and gifts bestowed at birth, and say, "Thank you, PoiliticsNC."
When I was a Marine (1965-1969) combat Marines referred to USMC press release writers, l9ike the SecDef, as "Reminton Raiders" because they waged war with their Remington typewriters, and that is the way I think of our utterly unqualified SecDef.
Amen. Thom Tillis has done nothing to help NC move forward. Now we are facing numerous cuts to funding including education, Medicaid/medicare and social security. Also cuts for food aid to impoverished. Thom Tillis could care less. Selfish to the core.
We must replace Tillis in 2026 election!
Putin laughs. His Washington assets are working beyond expectations.

My concern is that when Trump was asked about it by the press, he aid he didn't know anything about it. No one in the WH told him?!
You have to be intelligent to be a clown.

What a sad state of affairs.
Time to write our Senator to call him out on his cowardice and putting our country’s security at risk. I did this morning.

Tillis needs to face the people at a Town Hall

Yes he did know but he’s a damn coward.
