Clear this wasn't a one-off. Call your reps and demand they ask Waltz to resign, be fired, or they impeach him.

The Trump administration rejected such critiques. Before The Atlantic published the contents of the group chat, Hegseth downplayed the sensitivity of the information that he’d shared with the group. And Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, who was also included in the chat, testified under oath that the information wasn’t classified. “There were no sources, methods, locations, or war plans that were shared,” Gabbard said. Even after The Atlantic made the texts public, the White House insisted that the material was not classified, to the bafflement of many national-security experts, who well know that far less sensitive information is routinely classified and that if attack plans weren’t, they should have been.
The Trump administration has taken a sharply contrasting approach to state secrets in the second matter: its deportation of scores of people to a brutal prison in El Salvador, despite an order from U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg to halt the deportations. The Trump administration claims that all the deportees are foreign gang members. Attorneys and family members of some of the men say that the government is wrong, and that they never got a chance to contest the facts. Facing a lawsuit by the ACLU and challenges from attorneys representing various detainees, the administration has argued that Boasberg’s order was not applicable, because it came down when the detainees were already outside U.S. airspace. In response, Boasberg demanded to know exactly when the two planes had taken off and left U.S. airspace, and when the detainees on board had been transferred from American to Salvadoran authorities.Yet rather than answer the judge, Trump-administration officials invoked the state-secrets privilege, a legal doctrine that forecloses adjudicating some matters in court because disclosing the information at issue would purportedly threaten national security. In a notice filed last week, the administration argued that “confirming the exact time the flights departed, or their particular locations at some other time, would facilitate efforts to track those flights and future flights,” endangering the Americans operating them. They made this claim despite the fact that administration officials had already commented publicly about the location of the flights at the time that the judge’s order was issued, and despite the fact that future flights needn’t take off at the same time. TL  R
Information about a planned military attack is not a state secret because anyway the mission was successful. Information about airplanes that took off with civilian deportees in spite of a court order to prohibit this is a state secret and anyway the deportation was successful. |

So cute that you think they’ll say not to do it again. |

| Trump is getting snippy with reporters who ask him about this. I hope they keep asking until he takes responsibility and fixes the problem. |

| Hey everyone, don't forget this episode, it is one of the most dangerous things Trump's administration has done. Don't let it fall off the radar. |

+1 Also, if you have senators, call them and demand an investigation into this and his pump and dump stock scheme. Then impeach this criminal. |

If their leaking has given us insight into what a shitshow Hegseth is running, then they're praiseworthy. |
