Signal gate

I’m deeply concerned about Signal Gate, where top Trump admin officials (Hegseth, Vance, Waltz) exposed classified military plans via a Signal chat by accidentally including a journalist. This breach threatens national security & trust. Congress must act. Here’s what I urge:Bipartisan Probe: Launch an independent investigation to uncover how this happened, who’s responsible, & the damage done. Transparency is key in this polarized time.Accountability: Discipline involved officials—reassignment or dismissal—for negligence. They should’ve used secure systems, not a consumer app.Policy Fix: Ban unapproved apps for sensitive info. Mandate training & audits to enforce security protocols.Openness: Release a public report on findings & reforms. Hold hearings to inform us fully.Allied Trust: Reassure allies like the Five Eyes, shaken by this lapse, with diplomatic action.Legal Update: Strengthen laws to address modern risks & penalize mishandling classified data.The admin’s response—denying classified leaks despite evidence, blaming a “lower-level” worker, & avoiding reform—is inadequate. This isn’t just carelessness; it’s a systemic failure endangering troops & alliances. Congress must lead where the White House won’t. Please act swiftly to turn this scandal into a chance to bolster security. I’d appreciate your reply on your stance & next steps.
