5. Signalgate: Trump's Reckless Incompetence Threatens National Security
Mon Mar 31, 2025, 03:25 PM

This "Signalgate" scandal is an absolute disgrace and a glaring example of Trump's reckless disregard for national security. We're talking about precise attack timings, a confidential CIA source, and details about weapons packages being shared on an unsecured, public messaging app! This isn't just a slip-up; it's a monumental security breach that puts our troops and our country at risk.

And let's be clear, the GOP's attempts to downplay this are pathetic. They're trying to spin this as a non-issue, but even senior Republicans like Mike Turner, who actually understands classified information, are calling it out! This isn't some partisan witch hunt; it's a matter of basic competence and national security.

Pete Hegseth, Karoline Leavitt, and the rest of Trump's team claiming this information "didn't need to be classified" are either completely ignorant or deliberately lying. Either way, they're unfit to hold any position of power.

This isn't just about embarrassing Trump; it's about holding him accountable for his dangerous incompetence. We need a full investigation into this breach and we need to demand that those responsible are held accountable. This isn't just a scandal; it's a threat to our national security, and we can't let them sweep it under the rug.

This is exactly why we need Democrats in control. We understand the gravity of national security and the importance of protecting classified information. Trump and his cronies have proven time and time again that they can't be trusted with our safety. Let's make sure they pay the price for their recklessness.
