John,

Humor us for a minute.

On the list of forgivable mistakes:

• Being late to pick up your child from practice.
• Forgetting milk at the grocery store.
• Edging the lawn too far.
• Missing the deadline for an RSVP.

On the list of unforgivable, colossal f*ck ups:

• Discussing classified war plans on an unsecured group chat, flagged weeks prior as a security risk by the NSA, using your personal device.
• Opening sensitive communications to hacking by our adversaries.
• Accidentally adding an unauthorized person to said group chat.
• Endangering the lives of American pilots on a strike mission.

It’s not just that they accidentally added a reporter to the chat. It’s not just that they discussed sensitive information on unsecured channels. It’s not just that each of the people on this group chat knew better.

It is that, knowing all this, having been briefed on it, expecting subordinates to live up to a standard each of these individuals didn’t — they went ahead and did it anyway.

And beyond that, there is no telling what else these idiots discussed on unsecured channels. It is virtually certain that bad actors were monitoring their devices. There’s no telling what other sensitive or classified information they have now.

Don’t believe the talk from the GOP that this was “just a mistake.” It is a catastrophe. It is a failure the likes of which we’ve not seen.

The Trump Administration has made each of us less safe. They have opened American men and women in uniform up to exceptional risk. This has to be treated with the seriousness it deserves, and VoteVets is going to make sure it is.

If you can afford it, please: chip in today. If you can’t, spread the word. But a donation to VoteVets today is a surefire way to fund actions that are going to hold Hegseth, Gabbard, Waltz, and the rest of these idiots accountable. We’ll put your donation to good work, and that’s a promise.
