A major security controversy has erupted in the Trump administration after National Security Adviser Mike Waltz and other officials accidentally included a journalist in a Signal group chat discussing secret war plans.
The leak, which involved potential military strikes on Yemen, has drawn sharp criticism, including a pointed reaction from Hillary Clinton. Intelligence officials, including Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe, have downplayed the incident, insisting no classified material was exposed. Meanwhile, Fox News personalities have defended those involved, arguing that Signal is commonly used for such discussions.
The incident raises serious concerns about the handling of sensitive national security information within Trump's inner circle.

This is exactly why we shouldn't trust the government with this kind of power in the first place. They bungle basic security, yet expect us to believe they can be trusted with endless wars and surveillance. Maybe instead of plotting military strikes in secret chat groups, they should focus on not getting us entangled in more foreign conflicts.
