The Secretary of Defense's use of an unsecured internet line to access the Signal app raises serious cybersecurity concerns. Sensitive defense information could have been exposed to potential hacking or surveillance, jeopardizing national security. While officials have various secure communication channels available, Hegseth circumvented established protocols by setting up this "dirty" internet connection. His actions demonstrate a lack of judgment that undermines public trust in the Pentagon's leadership and its ability to safeguard classified material. I urge you to call for Hegseth's resignation or dismissal to restore confidence and accountability within the Defense Department.
