BREAKING: White House says that those who leaked the story about Pete Hegseth giving war plans to his family on Signal might be prosecuted… So apparently, ‘the whistleblowing’ is the crime, not the crime itself?!

Be cautious re: the report going around claiming the Trump administration "urged" an "unspecified allied state" to stop arming Ukraine. What The Economist wrote was that the administration "questioned" an ally on why it thought arming Ukraine was wise. Semantically and legally, there's a difference.

Trump's immigration crackdown could expand to include deporting U.S. citizens and charging anyone who criticizes his policies. 1. Sending convicted U.S. citizens to prisons abroad. 2. Putting critics of the administration's policies in jeopardy. 3. Questioning the authority of court orders.

NEW damning details on Pete Hegseth: Minutes before U.S. jets hit Yemen, Gen. Kurilla sent strike intel through a secure gov system. Hegseth turned around and dropped it in at least two Signal chats—on his personal phone. Jet timing. Target locations. And he still has the job.

This screenshot is the smoking gun. The Defense Secretary—on Signal—live texting classified strike times to people without the proper clearance. Hegseth’s defense? Blame a “disgruntled employee” and bash the media. And the White House is still standing by him. 1/2

I care less about Signal chats and more about the blacksite offshore concentration camps we're sending random people to without any semblance of a trial, so I'll be interested to see if the national media can rub their bellies and pat their heads at the same time this week. Historically they can't.
