This is huge because I was honestly assuming they'd killed him. Bring him home; bring them all home. Call your reps and demand they join Van Hollen in fighting back against this racist, immoral administration. reps.fyi

Top White House officials used disappearing messages on Signal for top-secret national security discussions—violating federal law & risking our security. Even worse? A participant was in Moscow. Congress must investigate. This betrayal cannot stand . adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/the-signal...
