This is the danger of unqualified Trump lackeys being given power. I am horrified by the disregard for the safety of our troops and proper procedures and horrified by the response from Hegseth, Gabbard, Ratcliffe and the White House: lies, denials, deflections. Our military deserves better. Our allies deserve better. This behavior is a threat to national and international security. Perhaps the worst intelligence leak in 100 years deserves nothing less than a full investigation, resignations or impeachments and criminal referrals is needed. Not denials or gaslighting or 'it's not a big deals.' This should be a lesson to the senate: stop confirming unqualified uncredentialed nominees without the reputation for personal integrity in all aspects of their lives required for those with grave responsibilities. No more unanimous consent. Demand a higher standard.
