Remember this? Drinking at the podium. Chaos at the Pentagon. We’re one whiskey shot away from DEFCON 1. Every Senator who voted to confirm Hegseth knew exactly who he was. They don’t get to act shocked now—they should be held accountable.

"Unlike the chat in which The Atlantic was included, the newly revealed one was created by Hegseth. Named “Defense | Team Huddle,” it included his wife and about a dozen other people.... He used his private phone, not his government one, to access the Signal chat." www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/u...
