Pete Hegseth is the most dangerously unqualified Secretary of Defense in American history. Every day he remains in charge of the Pentagon, he undermines national security and endangers the lives of our service members around the world. In a stunning and reckless display of incompetence, Hegseth casually exposed highly sensitive war plans—including the timing of an imminent attack, potential strike targets, and the weapons to be used—during an unclassified national security group chat that inexplicably included a reporter. This blatant disregard for operational security is not just irresponsible; it is a direct threat to American lives and likely a violation of the law. Pete Hegseth and everyone included in that absurd Signal chat group must be fired immediately. Every moment they stay in power increases the risk to our nation.
