DOGE v. US Military

🔴 UPDATE: April 21, 2025

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, already under fire for leaking military strike plans to a Signal chat that accidentally included a journalist, has now been caught doing it again—this time in a separate, secret Signal group he created himself.

The chat, named “Defense | Team Huddle,” included Hegseth’s wife, his younger brother, and his personal lawyer. None of them held operational military roles. At least one—his wife—has no official government position at all. And yet, they received classified details about U.S. airstrikes on Yemen, including flight schedules for F/A-18 Hornets and target locations.

This wasn’t a mistake. It was a pattern. A culture of loyalty-first fascism where state secrets are shared like gossip—as long as it stays “in the family.”

Key Developments:

• Hegseth used a private Signal group on his personal phone—distinct from his government device—to share details of upcoming strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen, including flight schedules and attack plans.
  Sources: The Guardian, CNN

• The chat included his wife Jennifer, brother Phil Hegseth, personal lawyer Tim Parlatore, and several aides. Only some may have had security clearance; others—including Jennifer—had none.
  Sources: Time

• This leak is separate from the first Signal chat, which included top Trump officials and was exposed after Mike Waltz mistakenly added The Atlantic’s editor. Both chats contained “essentially the same attack plans.”
  Sources: The Guardian

• Hegseth’s former press secretary and top aides have now turned on him, describing “total chaos” and a “meltdown” at the Pentagon, while Hegseth deflects criticism and attacks critics as “Trump-hating media.”
  Sources: CNN, Time

• Senior Democrats are calling for his resignation, citing endangerment of troops, blatant disregard for national security, and abuse of office. Sen. Tammy Duckworth called him a “threat to our national security” and warned: “Every day he stays in his job is another day our troops’ lives are endangered.”

The Real Story: Who Wins and Who Pays the Price?

• Winners: Trump’s loyalty cult. By placing propagandists like Hegseth in charge of the Pentagon, they ensure that warfighting is filtered through political loyalty—not military judgment. National secrets become bargaining chips in an inner circle of cronies, influencers, and family.

• Losers: American troops, military integrity, and national security. When airstrike schedules are being texted to a podcast producer and a Fox News spouse, the entire chain of command is broken—and soldiers are left to bear the consequences.

🔍 Why This Matters:

This isn’t just about leaking a few details. It’s about the destruction of trust in the Department of Defense.
When the Secretary of Defense uses a personal group chat to share strike plans with his family, it isn’t a scandal—it’s sabotage. This is how fascist regimes operate: by turning institutions into tools of personal loyalty and turning public power into private messaging.

It’s not just that laws are being broken—it’s that no one seems to care. The Pentagon is imploding, and the White House is still defending him.

🚨 The Bottom Line:

Pete Hegseth has turned the Pentagon into a propaganda mill and war planning into a family affair. The fact that he still has his job says everything you need to know about Trump’s America: loyalty is sacred, law is optional, and if a few war secrets leak? Well, they were only meant for the right people.
