“planning bombing campaigns over text message”

Justice Democrats

Harris,

While the Trump administration and Elon Musk's DOGE keep rolling back critical services for everyday people like seniors and children, they're out here talking about unconstitutional war plans via a texting app called Signal.

Former Fox News host turned Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, along with VP JD Vance and other national security officials, casually discussed dropping bombs on Yemen — without Congressional approval — through an unsecured group chat, and accidentally invited The Atlantic editor-in-chief.

Make no mistake, the story here isn't just their recklessness. The United States should not be bombing Yemen—period. Trump is murdering civilians and further escalating the Middle East into another US-backed endless war.

A screenshot of a post on X from Rep. Greg Casar. He is reposting a post from The Atlantic reading 'American war planning usually takes place in highly secure facilities. But the Trump administration planned its strikes on the Houthis using a group chat—and accidentally included The Atlantic's editor in chief,   @JeffreyGoldberg.' Rep. Casar said 'Trump says the phone lines seniors use to get their Social Security checks have to be shut down for security reasons, but his staff is planning bombing campaigns over text message.'

And Justice Democrats' Rep. Greg Casar is right.

With the largest budget of any agency, the Pentagon can't even keep unconstitutional military plans a secret, yet it's somehow still not the focus of Elon Musk's DOGE. Maybe because unlike Social Security, his corporations can make millions off federal defense contracts.

It's not just incompetence, it's corruption.

We need Democrats to fight back with everything they've got to demand officials like Hegseth resign, end the US strikes on Yemen, and stop the Trump/Musk cuts to the services regular people depend on. Help us recruit and elect more progressive, working-class Democrats who are ready to do the job: pitch in $5 or more now!

In solidarity,

Justice Democrats
