In this newsletter, the fallout from a group chat among Trump administration officials that leaked sensitive military information about airstrikes in Yemen dominates Washington. The Atlantic published the transcript of the chat, which included Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth specifying details of military aircraft and timing of airstrikes. Administration officials claimed no classified information was shared. Former officials criticized the breach of classified information protocol, and lawmakers called for resignations and investigations. National security experts expressed outrage at discussing sensitive information on a commercially available chat app, and questioned the lack of secure discussion environments like the Situation Room or SCIFs. The incident highlights a departure from previous administrations’ handling of national security matters. In other news, Trump imposed tariffs on all automobiles entering the U.S., a federal court upheld regulations on “ghost gun” kits, and Musk’s super PAC is spending in Republican House seats. Senate Republicans are considering including a debt ceiling increase in their party-line bill, and Rep. Luna is pushing for remote voting for lawmakers with young children. Overall, voter dissatisfaction with Trump appointees is at a record high according to a recent poll. The newsletter urges readers to share and provide feedback for future editions.
