By the grace of God and without the professionalism of one journalist, this situation could have been far worse. Disclosing sensitive, nonpublic, operational information in an unapproved, unsecure network \u2013 hours before execution \u2013 created great additional risk to U.S. missions.\n\n\u201cThis was a rookie mistake that could have had dire consequences for our servicemembers who put their lives on the line for our nation every day. When I want to discuss top secret, classified information with my colleagues, I do so in a secure facility \u2013 not on a Signal chain. After initial reports of this national security breach, I called for the firing of Secretary Pete Hegseth and thorough Congressional oversight. Today\u2019s report leaves me with no more confidence in the Secretary and his ability to lead our servicemembers.\n\n\u201cI am calling for his immediate resignation. In the coming days, I will use every tool at my disposal to hold him publicly accountable and restore the public\u2019s faith in those who lead us and are responsible for our national security.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:09:11Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://elfreth.house.gov/media/press-releases/elfreth-statement-inspector-general-report-signalgate"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.4365576207637787, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
