Democratic House Rep. Suhas Subramanyam on Signalgate:

"This is a big problem that the administration has broken these laws and not admitted any sort of fault..more attention paid to what happened, how prevalent it is, and what the administration is actually going to do about it."

Preach!

This was….five months ago

It’s as if he’s a Russian asset, trying to destroy America from within.

You can totally see how this mf bankrupted a casino.

The U.S. Passenger Rail Network 1962 vs. 2005

Exactly

I'm not saying anything novel here but it really is just truly despicable to watch them use THEIR OWN COLOSSAL SCREW UP to slander the reporter THEY INCLUDED ON THEIR CLASSIFIED GROUP CHAT

To anyone living in a state that doesn't respect you for who you love or who you are: Illinois has a place for you.

You are seen, you are celebrated, you are protected, and you are welcome here in our state.

Well, they lied. Obviously.

In a normal world Waltz and Hagseth would be fired for leaking the info and setting up the chat. Gabbard and Ratcliffe would go for possibly misleading Congress yesterday.

As more information is revealed, it is clear that the cover-up is even worse than the crime.

Every single person involved has no business being involved in our government.

At minimum, there should be resignations. And prosecutions.

it is BUCK WILD that they are just texting this shit to each other

There's no gaslighting your way out of this.

Immigrant women describe 'hell on earth' in ICE detention No shower for days, cameras trained on the toilet, women crammed into cells 'like sardines,' among the allegations.

ICE detention facilities have a track record of abuse — and this facility is no different.

No one should be treated like this.

Screenshot of the Atlantic Signal exchanges, including Michael Waltz saying "the first target - their top missile guy - we had positive ID of him walking into his girlfriend's building and it's now collapsed".

Not to be a wide-eyed naïf about such things but... am I right in thinking that they levelled an entire building to get to one guy and *that* is not controversial to anyone in the American media or political class, only that this information was recklessly shared in an unsecured chat?

Negligently disclosing national defense information is illegal — and it doesn't have to be classified The Espionage Act, the law that often has been used in criminal cases involving leaks or mishandling of classified information, contains a provision making it

NBC News: The Espionage Act contains a provision making it crime to disclose national defense secrets "through gross negligence."
 
The law does not require info be classified, because it was written before the classification system existed. The law refers simply to "national defense information."
