Something odd here.
CBS News confirms other media reports: "Hegseth has issued a directive to U.S. Cyber Command to pause planning against Russia, including offensive digital actions."
The CBS News then notes that National Security Advisor Michael Waltz said he's unaware of the directive.

Here's Rep. Mike Turner Sunday morning on CBS flabbergasted by the question. Says he's unaware of directive. He considers it literally inconceivable that Hegseth would issue such a directive.
Yet CBS News just reaffirmed the reporting on the Hegseth directive.
Rep. Turner can't conceive of the #tRump regime doing anything stupid or irrational.
How quaint.
These people are still sleep walking through the motions.
"I am confident considering what Russia is currently doing against the United States, the United States status against Russia would not be that-- considering what we are facing from Russia operations."

I imagine we'll be hearing more about this in the next couple of days, because there are some GOP reps and senators who will freak out about this.
It’s the same playbook that they’ve always used. Trump or someone in his orbit does something outrageous, they just feign ignorance until everyone moves on.
What about using unsecured VPNs to access government networks?
Russia and China are following and watching DOGE's breaches.

Almost feels like the enemy is already burning the house down from the inside.
Bull shit!
Glass half empty: 🤷
It's a feature, not a bug.
Anyone surprised by this has not been paying attention for the last 10+ years.

Having worked in telecommunications for 34 years, this is deeply disturbing. Hopefully the self-healing networks will kick in, but that will still leave a lot of Americans without service.
Perhaps there will be snap Peoples election, as it is clear the law no longer applies.
Is it your first, fourth or fifth amendment, I can never remember.
This is what it is for & what you have been waiting for, isn't it???
Anyone offering a reward for evidence that he's still drinking?
Cause this has gone on long enough.
This clown show WILL cost lives.
Treason. Nothing says aid and comfort to the enemy like walking off the battlefield with white flag in hand.
Putin ordered them to destroy our government, weaken our nation - a job Trump, Vance, Hegseth, Bondi, Patel, Rubio, etc., with the help of Putin's pal Elon Musk, are fulfilling.
Have All Sworn Oaths To The American People.
To Defend America.
Not to wholesale give it to Russia without anything more than a "Yessir".... Wrapped in a pretty little red bow.
Seriously.
Why bother with any of it.
If it means about as much as a PEZ despenser?
Pretty sure millions of veterans think differently if they knew the score.

Don't tell the NSC.
I'm just going to leave this door unlocked tonight, OK?
Pete: Conssshider it doo-ed.
Other than that, no one talked to each other.
Would Trump let it happen?
REMEMBER it? We're WATCHING it.
But it sounds like Democrats are going to fail US again by showing up and bowing down.
Pass this on if you agree.

first impeachment re Russia, then listing ALL the caving, this, the Russian news “now he must repay us for his win,” the oval mtg, all of this. TRUMP IS A TRAITOR.

"Putin & I discussed forming an impenetrable Cyber unit so that election hacking, & many other negative things, will be guarded."

Even when it's not deliberate, lol
While we're freaking out about Andrew Tate, look at what else was going on in Romania 🚨🚨
Does it have something to do with E. Jean Carroll?
This is the same admin that didn’t coord across agencies before the “Fork” email, -or- “5-bullets” email, sent to every single fed employee
Melania is raising alarms over deepfake pornographic videos.
Is Pootin threatening to leak something?
Donald has never been so obviously eager to help any other living human being.
