National Security

The White House has closed its investigation into the Signal group chat where senior officials discussed a military strike against Houthi rebels in Yemen. Dismissing it as a mistake, they claim no classified information was shared. But military operations are usually classified, and even if this wasn’t, sharing sensitive details on an unsecured platform violated cybersecurity and operational protocols. These actions compromised national security and strained relationships with key intelligence partners. Laws and protocols were broken. The American people are paying the price.

USAID, the U.S. agency responsible for foreign aid and development, has been rapidly dismantled under the Trump administration, with oversight shifting to the State Department. This move has halted funding, shut down offices, and left critical global aid projects in limbo. The decision weakens U.S. diplomatic influence, increases global instability, and raises national security risks by creating conditions that could fuel conflict, extremism, and economic turmoil.
