The Trump administration is facing heat after a major security leak exposed discussions about military strikes against Yemen’s Houthis—all thanks to an oopsie-doodle group chat mishap. U.S. National Security Advisor Mike Waltz called the incident “embarrassing” after top officials accidentally included a journalist in their chat on a commercial app while debating war plans. 🫢
Imagine accidentally adding a reporter to your squad’s private Discord while plotting a high-stakes mission. That’s essentially what happened here. The blunder, dubbed a “tech faux pas for the history books” by insiders, has Democrats demanding Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s resignation. 💻🔥
The leak sparks fresh debates about cybersecurity in government operations. As Waltz steps up to take the blame, critics are slamming the administration’s handling of sensitive intel. Could this be a plot twist straight out of *The Social Network* meets *House of Cards*? Stay tuned as this political drama unfolds. 🌐🔍
