Every single Democratic lawmaker should be calling for Hegseth's immediate resignation right now. Not just some. Not just a few dozen. Every single one, starting at the top with Mr. Schumer and Mr. Jeffries. And the fact that it hasn't happened yet is nearly as shocking as Hegseth's conduct.

Comments

I'm not talking about just calling for investigation or just a vague call for accountability or just explaining why what Hegseth did is so deeply disturbing.

I'm talking about definitive calls for him to immediately resign, full stop.
reply
I would extend that to everyone in that Signal chat. This is clear evidence that the Trump admin is using Signal and other illegal methods to hide their communications from oversight and transparency.
reply
Yes. Go big. Everyone, and not just resign, but actual accountability including jail. And not “normally this might result in jail” weak sauce.

THIS is the key.

Every citizen of the United States who cares about this should be marching on Washington protesting demanding the resignations of Pete and Tulsi and those criminals on that signal call this is not a blame your Democratic leaders
reply
He put this country in such danger!!! Worse yet, he had no clue!!!
reply
In the past, people would have resigned on disgrace or to try to preserve honor. Or what is left of it. But his administration has no honor. No grace. No self-awareness. Trump took no accountability, saying he knew nothing. His typical, "I don't know her". "I know nothing about it", so he can dodge.
reply
Should apply to everybody on the chain. Every person there is a senior American government official, and they should know better.
reply
100% agree!

Fire them. Jail them. Don’t wait for resignations.

Schumer, and now Jeffries, are just not living up to the moment. We need strong fighters

So true!! All we need is to broadcast EVERY STUPID MOVE THEY MAKE, TO BE SURE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THE RAMIFICATIONS OF EACH MOVE!!!

Honestly, if they continue to be complacent there won’t be a representative govt and they’ll be out of a job and checking in at a Salvadoran prison getting a new hair cut. Tick tock guys! They will be shipped off before us citizens, we’ll just die in the streets. @democrats.senate.gov
reply
I'm more frustrated with Jeffries because he's an excellent wordsmith and easily-capable of formulating a convincing argument for Hegseth's resignation. Him not doing that is a waste of his talents.
reply
I always liked him. This past few weeks? He's not stepping up.
reply
I don't like politicians on principle, but I won't deny Jeffries his gift with words.
reply
he is afraid. you
can see it.
reply
I'm sure he is, which is all the more reason that Jeffries should say something.
reply
Otherwise, why bother representing Democrats in The House?
reply
This. Immediately.
reply
Duckworth, Buttigieg, Warner, Moulton, Raskin, Kaine and many other Dems have done that!!! Why do people keep falsely saying they’re not? Turn on the news and you’ll hear them!
reply
Because you get social media clout by stoking outrage
reply
But nor schiff, AOC, Crocket? We need a unified message! (And frankly, jail time should be the solution here. Any line worker would get that in the minute.)
reply
Every citizen of the United States should be marching on Washington and demanding resignations starting with Pete and Tulsi this is not about blaming your elected officials this is about blaming the criminals
reply
Crocket did call them out for their horrible lack of understanding of national security. Schiff was on MSNBC last night demanding an investigation.
reply
Schumer is either too stupid or scared.
reply
Probably the latter, most-likely.
reply
he’s been in trumps pocket since
1970’ NY. He is an appeaser just like Garland and Biden. Garland was trumps best atty. We
saw the foot dragging and absurd strategy he used to run out the clock. Trump has never gone after 2 ppl. Putin and Garland.
reply
How hard is it to have a united message? What are they doing all day?
reply
They're trying to figure out if the story has legs and whether they should bother with it, since the stated goal is to stand back and let Trump wreck the place so they pick up seats in the mid-terms.
reply
Book tours
reply
Apparently close to impossible. We don’t have united messaging, we don’t have united protests, we don’t have united opposition but we have a Dem Senate leader & a Dem House leader who love book tours during crucial times so there is that.
reply
Touche on book tour comment. The Democrats need to hire a spokesperson for the house and senate. This is a practice in UK. They need a spokesperson who is qualified, likable, can think on their feet, understands policy, can clearly articulate the issues.
reply
Maybe some people do need a signal group app….
reply
Book tours and emails asking for money.
reply
Scratching their asses, having a morning nap followed by lunch then an afternoon nap.
reply
they're making so much money just by not doing anything
reply
Great but it's literally not going to happen. Everyone knows this. Republicans have circled the wagon and there's no Adam kinzinger or Liz CHENEY to call them out.
reply
That's why this needs to be an ongoing news story. Every Democrat should be on every network talking about this. When the interviewer asks another question, circle back to this. We need to be relentless.
reply
Still isn’t going to do anything to sway them. You don’t understand this and that’s why you appear as weak and whining to independents. They have no shame, they don’t care and they want you to go on every network and wear out that message because then they’ll use it against y’all and it’ll work
reply
So you're saying no matter what happens in this administration, the democrats can never win the narrative?
reply
Good luck with that one
reply
Yes, and they shouldn’t shut up about it no matter how much they try to change the subject. We need to flood the zone - with the Truth
reply
Some Democrats have already started pushing for resignation.

It's not the numbers people would hope, but politicians tend to drag their feet.
reply
Oh, you know. Fretting, wringing their hands, worrying, being very concerned, trying to find an appropriate bible verse to send out on Elon Musk's social media platform, begging for money, planning book tours...all sorts of important stuff.
reply
Did you miss this? https://bsky.app/profile/atrupar.com/post/3ll5ntvfvu22u

No, I didn't miss Jeffries' words. I regularly see his religious exhortations too. What I miss is Jeffries (or any of the top rank of the party) actually doing something.

Perhaps he could contact Mitch McConnell for pointers on how to act as effective opposition.

What exactly is he supposed to do in this situation? The Democrats don’t have the power to impeach anyone involved. They can’t even start investigations unless the GOP agrees.

No! This is much bigger. Signal may be being used for Project 2025. The first thing Congress should do is put all of them under oath and ask 1) How many times in the last month have you used Signal? 2) Who was on these chats? 3) What were the topics and why did you use it instead of a scif?
reply
Problem is … would they even show up for a Congressional investigation? Would they even answer truthfully?
reply
They will lie, but if you can find one person lower down the food chain that was on one of these calls, then you can start investigating deeper. It's like any criminal investigation. If Dems flip the house in 2026, then it will be non-stop hearings on DOGE, veteran care, social security and this

What exactly is there to even investigate? We know what happened, and even why. Get the fools the hell out of there.

To me, more than the breach of including a journalist, is the problem of using signal.
What if they decided to call a domestic strike on a city that just isn't doing Donny's bidding and the whole thing gets plotted on Signal, then vaporizes. They could blame Canada and get rid of a problem city...

I wish it was shocking, but it's just sad. Schumer has become such a blasé "leader," nothing he does/doesn't do surprises me any more. We all know if this happened under Biden, the Repubs would have been on the Capitol steps within minutes with camera crews and pitchforks demanding resignations.

So should the republicans.
reply
Dems only chance at real leaders are too young for the party to allow to lead. This party is dancing on the edge of the grave. They cannot lead unless they get out of their own way
reply
But they are privately having those conversations at the Congressional gym or at some club next to the White House. They are really twisting arms, I'm sure. Republicans really hate all the words of quiet disapproval that maintains decorum.
reply
Anyone else eyeroll when Schumer called for an 'investigation?" Hearings, testimony, the usual obstruction and blowing off subpoenas? Dragging it out until it loses all of the urgency and outrage? We all just saw it. I just can't stand another mockery.
reply
reply
Why aren’t they already convening fucking an investigative committee? Oh yeah, we have Jeffries & Schumer the useless turds in charge. Hakeem has YET to even fucking comment.
reply
💯AGREED

So, blaming democrats for not stopping this shitshow( when they have no real power) is letting Republicans off the hook, like you're saying you expect them to be shit. Think about this!
reply
I can't believe I've woken up this morning and nobody has been fired.

@schumer.senate.gov is beyond pathetic. His weakness is going to break this party.

I believe the words you are looking for are incompetent and spineless.
reply
I have also contacted my Republican Senator to let him know that something has to be done now about Pete Hegseth not just my Democratic Senator!
reply
NOT just the Dems! The GOP/MAGA should be calling for his resignation as well. The fact that they are not is due to fear from Trump. They value their position and power over the security of the American people. SAD.
reply
What if this had been Lloyd Austin or William Cohen? GMAFB.
reply
Many, probably most Republicans aren’t afraid of Trump, they enthusiastically support all of this. They’re fully onboard.
reply
C'mon Dems! You're past looking weak. You're looking complicit. Where is the OUTRAGE?
reply
Every Dem can scream all they want. If Republicans refuse to join in to uphold law, then NOTHING HAPPENS.
reply
I am sincere in asking this - Can you imagine the GOP "fury" if the tables were turned? When Al Green walked out, he went alone & was censored by 10 of his peers. The CR was supported by the House as agreed upon. What happened to the Senate? GOP support? Like EU we're on our own.
reply
You're crossing parties.
reply
Every lawmaker. It’s time the ‘other side of the aisle’ got real in this mess.
reply
lol! You take a maga security breach and blame dems. wtf is wrong w you people.
reply
I'm not shocked by Schumer or Jeffries silence.

They're the dumbfucks who will not open a first aid kit for even deep cuts and wounds because they're "saving it for the really, really bad, life threatening injuries", and when that day comes the entire kit is expired, dried up, useless, and wasted.
reply
Why do you ASSume they have been silent? Quit reflexively blaming Democrats for the evil of Republicans. It isn’t hard to find all of the things Jeffries has said and done today on this. Maybe look into that before you swallow the endless nonsense on here?
reply
I don't assume they've been silent. They've just been silent. Period.

The house is on fire, and Democratic leadership is waiting on the firemen who've been fired from the firehouse that's been defunded and shut down.

Instead of grabbing water hoses, they're waiting on non-existent firetrucks.
reply
Jeffries and Schumer are failed leaders. And Dems silence = complicity.
Both are corporate ‘consultant’ backed sellouts comfortable with their donor grifts and taxpayer funded benefits, neither of whom want to rock the boat. Both need to go ASAP.

This!

There is NO leadership coming from Schumer OR Jeffries. None.

I’m sure they are, but they don’t have the votes to even get a hearing.
reply
Every REPUBLICAN should be calling for his resignation. Stop letting them off the hook. Direct your fire at THEM!
reply
EXACTLY! They are the ones with the power. Or have I been asleep for four years?
reply
Remember, 50 Republican Senators voted to confirm him. He passed with JD Vance's tie breaker. Every one of those Republican Senators should answer for this.
reply
Every leader of Congress needs to call for his resignation and also Mike Waltz. He also sent the info to the reporter. And everyone in the group should also be accountable and investigated. They all knew this was wrong.
reply
We have no hope that they care one bit.
reply
Yes, but Dems can lead the way. No need to wait for them bc he's not going to resign
reply
Republicans are all braindead, you can't reason with or persuade a zombie.
reply
Imagine the MAGA outcry if this breach was committed by literally ANYONE else other than white men. There would be NO investigation, just resignations/firings.
reply
Agreed

But would their doing so get any results?

Democrats have a case of the slows, as Lincoln would have said

Democrats must demand that Hegseth and Waltz resign. Make Republicans own their treasonous complicity if they refuse. And some choice words for tomorrow’s intelligence hearing..👇 @democrats.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

Absolutely - it’s outrageous!
reply
Every Republican lawmaker, don’t you mean? You know, the law and order guys?
reply
They disappoint me more every day. Schumer is done and Jeffries doesn’t look like the leader I thought he was.
reply
They want to lead from behind - they need to be forced out and replaced by outsiders who have never made a back room deal in their life
reply
They're covert agents for the right. They've been working for them the entire time.

Same.

when Colonel Vindman gave Ratcliffe the transcript of the “perfect phone call”, RATcliffe kept it secret resulting in the first impeachment. #WhiskeyLeaks needs to result in impeachments.

Everyone involved in this need to go.
reply
Imagine if Biden's administration did this. Then again, they would never be so incompetent.
reply
Agree, these dem leaders are complicit, Schumer corrupt
reply
Every Republican should do the same. Pete Hegseth's incompetence puts our military in danger. This isn't a party issue. This is a defense of our nation issue.
reply
They can’t. This is worse than just this thing. This means they are using Signal to skirt FOIA laws and hide what they are doing.

So now we gotta sue Signal for being complicit in that.
reply
1000%!!!
reply
They won't!🤬
They'll probably take him out for drinks! 🍻
reply
No offense, but given the Dem's behavior to date, I have to say that you are easily shocked.
reply
Agreed, but we need to go after every single Republican who voted to appoint these amateur clowns to their Cabinet positions. The abject failure of the Congress--both parties--to do their job is appalling and treacherous.
reply
Today will be a test of Democratic leadership.

I have serious doubts regarding their performance.
reply
To remove all doubt, they will do nothing. Or next to nothing but in such a way that it will just make matters worse. Somehow. Cuz that’s our jam.
reply
Every single one. As I've seen many people make the point, this should be a slam dunk. Instead, crickets...
reply
Is it shocking, though? Democrats have never had a clue how to message or how to fight. They are wimps who luck out with voters bailing them out and somehow think it's because of their milqetoast personalities instead of voters hating Republicans.
reply
Democrats were founded to be the Washington Generals to the right’s Harlem Globetrotters. Just a prop so the workers think they have a voice.

Mr Jefferies. Mr. Schumer get your houses in order and become an opposition force. Not a wet noodle.
reply
Trump would have been screaming to the mountains if this was a democrat and his minions would be stomping too! Democrats leaders are invisible. They are clueless as to what to do with this administration. They writing books to sell & he is running all over them! Frustrating. We need a third party!
reply
While I think plenty of them are either afraid of or have been in some way enticed by Trump, I also think that plenty of them are just imagining themselves as having the ultimate moral high ground for not being "like them", and right now their egos are just rolling around in moral superiority.
reply
Basically, fuck the rest of us, as long as they get to enjoy that smug feeling of superiority at being the "good guys".
reply
I think they should abolish all parties and let the best man win. To much devision.
reply
You are absolutely right. If it was a Democrat who had done this, the GOP would be wanting a public lynching. I’m 🇨🇦 and struggle with our politics and politicians but I simply can’t understand US politics. It’s all about power and not about what’s best to move the country forward for its citizens.

Congress must think they are a judicial system. They are slooow.

Really?! Where are all the Republican lawmakers in all this? This is not a partisan or party issue. This is a national security issue, and all 542 members of Congress need to put our country first, not their party.

WTF are they doing? Anything?

I'll say it again, VICHY Democrats.

They can call for it and it would make them look sane unlike now. But it won’t change a thing. In fact, the regime will LOVE to defy the Dems.

Jefferies has written to 🍊🐔💩 demanding he be fired.

Charlotte I thought that they have called upon them to go up in front of the Judiciary committee… has that not happened? I thought Raskin was talking about that on CNN, but Lord knows it could have been one of the many other incidents that has occurred. Thanks @charlotteclymer.bsky.social
