If kidnapped, what would you post that would alarm your followers without the kidnappers knowing you're asking for help? “The world is too stressful so I’m just going to tune out and be a trad wife.”

The important thing to remember with Hegseth is that absolutely everyone told Trump he was unqualified and ill-suited to the job but Trump picked him anyway, and every Republican senator except McConnell, Murkowski and Collins voted to confirm him. Every Democrat voted against him.

We've seen videos like this before, but usually when you see a tearful wife pleading with the kidnappers who have taken her husband, she's not talking to the U.S. president

I keep thinking that they’re doing all of this by group chat b/c some of the team goes to MAL every weekend for fundraisers & isn’t in DC to meet. But also, they’re doing all this w/o POTUS b/c he’s only interested in grifting & tweeting. I don’t think we even have a president right now.

This is what happens when you have an entire cabinet full of folks who would NEVER pass a regular security clearance. Led by a president who would never be able to pass one either.

As a journalist who spent the last 22 years married to a Green Beret, and both of us catching so much shit about how I was going to “leak secrets”, it’s slightly satisfying—but also TERRIFYING— that the only person in that chat practicing OPSEC was the JOURNALIST.
