Summary

White House insiders blame National Security Adviser Mike Waltz for a group chat error that exposed military strike discussions to journalist Jeffrey Goldberg.

Waltz mistakenly added Goldberg to a Signal chat about potential strikes in Yemen, involving key officials like Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and JD Vance.

Trump has defended Waltz but is reportedly weighing his options.

Some aides urge resignation to avoid forcing Trump to make a decision. Critics call Waltz reckless, but House Speaker Mike Johnson opposes his resignation.

    Then make them vote it down? What is so hard to understand about this? Every impeachment charge is time spent on the floor that forces them to delay voting on other damaging policies. If he’s going to continue flooding the zeitgeist with damaging policies and immoral action, then force his colleagues and constituents to sit down and listen to it in detail. Eventually the end goal doesn’t become worth the sacrifice to get there. There’s a reason no one ever sits through a time share seminar even if its for a free 3 day weekend getaway.

      Voting on what? Everything is being done through executive actions. This Congress has rendered itself irrelevant. The only thing Congress is actually doing is voting on nominees, and I think Democrats should vote against those, but they’re too busy unanimously voting in favor of them.
