Amid bird flu and measles outbreaks, Trump and RFK Jr. are making a dangerous purge of health workers and bringing in a team of kooks, loons, and weirdos.
They’re gutting health agencies to put money into billionaires’ pockets. The American people will suffer harmful consequences if this happens.

The Secretary of Defense was apparently too busy yesterday lying to the American people about his illegal disclosure of classified information to brief the President, who was clueless hours later about the loss of four American soldiers near the Belarusian border.

State and DoD IGs should be reinstated and investigate along with the acting ICIG.
DOJ and the FBI would normally investigate such breaches and prosecute any crimes committed. Bondi and Patel can't do that without political interference, so a special counsel should be appointed for this case.

Following last week's unlawful and unprecedented executive overreach, we are demanding answers on what the hell is going on with the Trump Administration and the U.S. Institute of Peace:

Investment is on pause. Your 401K is down. Uncertainty is up.
The Wall Street Journal called it the dumbest trade war in history.
When they're right, they're right.
This Committee should be leading the charge to protect the economy from a tariff program that will make us poorer and kill jobs.
This Administration mass fired tens of thousands of federal workers for no reason on made-up pretexts.
Now Trump's people are engaging in a coverup, blatantly lying to evade accountability.
These people screwed up in ways that put our troops at risk and they should be fired.

Not just Hegseth, as I said yesterday. But the confirmation (which was never in doubt) that the information he put in the chat was classified makes it, as I said, not a close call.

Hegseth must resign or be fired. This is not a close call.

We need robust investigations by committees of jurisdiction to determine where other breaches may have occurred and take appropriate action.
Republicans who fail to stand for their country in this moment will forever surrender all credibility on national security issues. 9/
We don’t know what other Signal chats Trump officials have or what security breaches may result.
They say they did nothing wrong, no one should assume this was an isolated incident.
Russia, China, Iran, and other adversaries are surely stepping up efforts to target American officials. 8/
Now consider what we don’t know.
We don’t know what sensitive/classified info was shared.
We don’t know whether Russia or other adversaries obtained that info.
We don’t know what might have happened to American pilots or other servicemembers if that info had been shared with the Houthis. 7/
We know Hegseth attacked the reporter’s credibility despite the entire story having already been confirmed by the White House.
And we know no one on this Signal, including the Secretaries of State and Commerce as well as the White House Chief of Staff, raised concerns about security protocols. 6/
We know Gabbard discussed impending military strikes while overseas using an improper messaging app, likely on an insecure phone, and refused to answer Senators’ questions about it.
We know Hegseth claimed to deliver ‘100% operations security’ as he shared airstrike details with a reporter. 5/
Consider what we know.
We know Waltz convened what was essentially a National Security Council principals meeting via Signal, an act of awful judgment that may have broken the law.
We know Witkoff joined that conversation from Russia, where he knew his devices would be targets of surveillance. 4/
Trump's people responded by attacking the media after they confirmed the story themselves. They are denying, ludicrously, that the information they disclosed was sensitive or classified. And as we saw in today’s Senate hearing, they are deceiving the country about the severity of this incident. 3/
If the information Trump Administration officials incompetently and carelessly discussed in obvious violation of secure procedures had fallen into the wrong hands, it might have jeopardized the lives of Americans serving in harm’s way.
That cannot be allowed to happen. 2/
Congress and other proper authorities must provide oversight of this incredibly stupid security breach.
At a minimum, Hegseth, Waltz, Gabbard, and Witkoff must resign or be fired.
And a special counsel should be appointed to investigate.
