Despite campaign promises to end wars, days ago Trump launched a wave of deadly strikes against the Houthis in Yemen. Dozens of people have been killed, including women and children. The U.S. government is once again fueling a humanitarian crisis and pushing an entire region toward all-out war, all without any authorization from Congress.

It turns out that the likely classified plan to carry out these deadly, ineffective, and potentially illegal bombings was shared in an unauthorized Signal group chat, where high Trump administration officials celebrated the strikes with fist bump emojis. No one, particularly Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, thought to confirm whether the members had proper clearance and were not, say, journalists.

Maybe they should have, because groundbreaking reports confirm Atlantic Monthly editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg was mistakenly added to the chat. Now, Hegseth, who is charged with maintaining the operational security of classified U.S. military information, is working to cover his tracks, stating, “Nobody was texting war plans, and that’s all I have to say about that.”

Well, he’d better find something more to say, because we’re not the only ones demanding answers. Democratic lawmakers, including multiple members of the House Armed Service Committee, are furiously calling for an investigation and repercussions. Meanwhile, the White House is racing to control the message and get Republican allies to defend the leak.

As a PR power struggle plays out, the safety and security of millions of people hangs in the balance. Your voice can tip the scales toward accountability. When it comes to security, the decisions and culture start at the top. Sign now to demand Congress investigate the leak and demand Hegseth’s resignation.
