Top Cabinet officials—including the Vice President, Secretary of Defense, and National Security Adviser—were caught using a commercial messaging app to discuss secret war plans for Yemen.
The signal misuse was a example of overall incompetence but the bigger threat to democracy is Trump’s use of extortion and shakedowns to intimidate and force acquiescence from his opposition and particularly Ukraine. Also, the need for campaign finance reform has never been greater with weaponized Musk-type donation extortion. Republicans fought reform for years but now it is being used against even them. We now see how democracies get hijacked if any entity other than individual citizens can contribute AND if contributions are not limited to voters in the specific district and capped at some reasonable level like $1000 or so. The enriched media & consultants will hate this but they help demonstrate that current spending levels are out of control, wasteful and corrupting.
Representatives called at 5:00 am, just read communications, THANK YOU, Laurie! I may be sick to my stomach right now, but it is anger! Outrage, disgust, complete and utter loss of faith in ANY who don’t want to talk about it, hear about it, argue the wrong side of law! There is going to be HOLY HELL to pay if this is NOT prosecuted!

Con Man Trump had sore feet [along with being in the 'wealthy elite class'] and although drafted HE DID NOT SERVE!
Hegseth and Vance, 2 of Con Man's lapdogs committed treason by discussing military intelligence secrets during an open non secure telephone call.
I was an active duty USMC SGT 1969-71 with a secret clearance and I swore an other to protect our country and not to disclose secret information.
Imprisonment is the appropriate punishment for these two incompetent federal officials, who swore an oath on assuming their current positions>
