What an idiot. I get that they want to communicate in ways that leaves no record of their illegalities and defiance, but did they really think they’d get away with this? It’s lunacy. Their greed is making them make stupid decisions.
Maybe, considering Pete has a history of serious alcohol abuse issues that he seems to have made zero effort in remedying, & was supposedly affecting his work performance last year, that info should be taken into consideration
And idk, maybe do something instead of just internet posting, Senator.
This is exponentially worse of a Natl. Sec. threat, and more nefarious than anything Hillary Clinton ever did with her emails. But will the GOP Republicans even call an oversight hearing for Hegseth? Clinton testified for 11 hours in public debunking the Republicans false accusations against her.
It's fine if he wants to join us immediately, but we need something more constructive than snarky social media posts. How about blocking all activity in the Senate until Hegseth's resignation?
Mark Warner voted yes for the Navy Secretary *today*, after the Atlantic article broke. The nominee has zero experience. His only qualification is that he was a major Trump donor. This is also after Trump fired the top military officer in the Navy because she was “DEI” (SecNavy is the top civilian)
“What are your views on admin Secretaries using non-secure messaging apps to conduct official business? They are using a non-secure messaging app to hide their “work” from your oversight committee. Wondering if all fed employees can do their work on Signal or WhatsApp?
So in less than a week Hegseth has tried to brief Musk on contingency war plans for China and now he's used an insecure app to disseminate top secret imminent war plans to people who should not have them! Why has he not been arrested?
You’re the senior member of the Intelligence Committee,
Senator. This disclosure was arguably criminal:
18 U.S.C. § 793(f) makes it a federal crime to for people entrusted with information related to the national defense to, with gross negligence, disclose it to others in violation of that trust.
Elon Musk joking about Pete Hegseth casually leaking war plans is peak MAGA. They don’t care about national security — it’s all just a game to them. Grift, chaos, repeat. Pathetic.
Dude, you confirmed him!
Stop posting memes & start demanding Chuck Schumer be removed as the minority leader. I don't want to hear anything from anyone in the Senate until that weak ass excuse for leadership is removed.
Another Oopsy-Daisy! No big deal, right?! All of these Oops-Administration’s errors are minimized. Everyone else is to blame! Reporters, Democrats, News Agencies… never mind they have inexperienced people running the show! Yikes! What next?….
Hot take, I don't mind his personal drinking. Dope as hell he gets drunk. It's the transphobia and aversion to rule of law and human rights which makes him suck.
One of the highest scandals, ever. The highest ranks of the government, up to and personally including the VP, were discussing active military operations effectively in the open. They did so in such a way that indicates this illegal behavior is standard procedure across the administration, too.
@gallego.senate.gov and @kelly.senate.gov would be such IDIOTS to vote for such an inept & incompetent NON VETERAN trump millionaire donor 2be US NAVY SECRETARY. 0 military experience! #shame @starsandstripes.bsky.social SHAME on US NAVY Capt Kelly! SHAME on LanceCorp Marine GALLEGO!
If anyone who works for the agencies these idiots run did this, they would go to jail. Every single one of these clowns ought to rot in prison, and that MUST be the stated political goal. They need to pay for this and all of their other even worse crimes. Prosecute and imprison these pieces of shit.
Thank goodness the Atlantic reported this. Disgraceful. Irresponsible. The military deserves better. Americans deserve better. Oh but the suit. Where’s mtg’s boyfriend on this?? Laughing stock of the world.
You forget, a few drinks before work. Or maybe a bottle to get the day started. This guy was to stop drinking. Yea right, his actions say otherwise. And the fact that Trump said he didn't know about it suggests all his people are rogue actors promoting some sort of plausible deniability for Trump
Where were the calls for impeachments? If Democrats can’t muster the energy to be outraged about this — the world’s easiest outrage! — how are they possible up to this political moment?
Every Dem should be hanging this albatross about the Trump administration and forcing every GOP member of Congress to defend or condemn this clown show of amateurs.
They are a total laughing stock except it’s not funny it’s serious. Men and women will be risking their lives every time they’re asked to go into battle knowing that their orders could be known in advance to the enemy if this shower of imbeciles remain in power
But they granted Unanimous Consent to run him through immediately to a floor vote after committee when they could have tied up and obstructed everything with debate.
The bigger question is why Warner and every Democratic Senator voted unanimous consent to fast track all the nominee votes. Of course, that would have meant they all had to stay and work to delay and impede the votes and not get their three-day weekends. McConnell would have done that.
Oh wait I'm getting a DM hang on... No! Pete! I don't care about your sensitive information about Trump going to war with Canada and Greenland! I told you last time to stop DMing me! No I don't wanna see your tattoos! Gah this is SO embarrassing!
..but he's white and male and straight and when he texts extremely sensitive national security information to random people that's totally normal, Right? Cuz he can't possibly do anything wrong he's white and male and straight and all the things! #ButHerEmails #TrumpIsUnfit Invoke the 25th amendment
Funny shit post is that all you good for Senator? That is my job how about you get off your ass & do something with your job before they fuck up the rest whats left of this country , thanks.
@gallego.senate.gov and @kelly.senate.gov would be such IDIOTS to vote for such an inept & incompetent NON VETERAN trump millionaire donor 2be US NAVY SECRETARY. 0 military experience! #shame @starsandstripes.bsky.social SHAME on US NAVY Capt Kelly! SHAME on LanceCorp Marine GALLEGO!
Hegseth needs to go. If Tuberville can hold up every military appointment for his pet issue, is there a way to hold up something Rs care about (let's say judges) to get this guy to resign or at least come in to testify about this massive security breach? Play hardball and drive a message.
You don't get to fundraise off of OUR desperation to have an effective opposition. Speak the ph*ck up . . . news gaggles every 30 minutes rotating senators.
We are braver and more active than you - how about you give us $$$??
The people who are responsible for the Jeffery Goldberg incident violated national security law.
They should suffer the consequences.
I retired from EPA HQ after 25 yrs in the enforcement program.
I was the lead for national security law in the Federal Facilities Enforcement Office.
Are you doing anything about this besides making snarky skeets? Because it looks like you’re still just doing absolutely nothing as more of this stuff keeps happening.

“Killed that first bottle of whiskey, opening the second…”
You missed steps one and two:
1 - nurse hangover
2 - hair of the dog
**then**
3 - text extremely sensitive national security information…
Wouldn’t want to misrepresent their strict SOP adherence!
After the hearings, then what?
At the very least, his blood alcohol should be checked OFTEN
MAY NEED INPATIENT TO DETOX
At least write to the SCOTUS!
What actions have you taken to stop the illegal fascist activities Bondi, Trump, Rubio and Vance are engaged in everyday?
Do your job for WE THE PEOPLE
Where were the calls for a special prosecutor? Where were the calls for resignations?
Maybe someone should check Pete’s TikTok feed.
OR JUST FIRE THE BASTARD AND ANYONE ELSE USING UNAUTHORIZED APPS FOR SECURE AND CONFIDENTIAL COMMUNICATION.
Yeah, Hillary too,
and Melania’s Gmail…
You think we're dumb as MAGA?
Why?
You collaboratin?
Fuck you!
This drunk you perpetuated needs to be LOCKED UP!
🙄🙄🙄
Doomed to fail. And probably designed that way.
Your constituents didn’t vote for you to post stupid memes.
Read. The. Room.

Respond to the moment.
Please get the hell off social media and do something.
Thanks.

“Did I just add VP Vance to this thread or Vladimir Putin? Whatever.” Sips some more scotch.
