Congress is currently like the scared teenager shivering in the corner of a dark room in a B movie horror flick.

Hegseth is going to fail in an epic “made for TV” disaster.

When someone completely unqualified is put in charge of the most powerful military on the planet, his demise is going to be a historic catastrophe.

Sadly, he will take many American lives with him.

Wow. Rep. Jake Auchincloss minces no words about Signalgate on Piers Morgan: “Pete Hegseth is lying to the American people, lying to Congress, lying to the military.” “It’s incompetence incarnate…It’s embarrassing & it’s dangerous.”

Goldberg: "Hegseth is promising that US warplanes are taking off in 30 minutes to bomb enemy targets that we know are protected by anti-aircraft batteries. If that's not the most sensitive information, the most secret info in the world, I simply don't know what the meaning of 'classified' is."
