Third Way National Security

Imagine leaking classified strike plans from a personal phone to your family—putting U.S. Troops at risk—and then whining about media coverage. Pete Hegseth isn’t just reckless. He’s 100% unfit to lead. Fire him.

The details keep coming out. We keep learning how Pete Hegseth put lives at risk. But Trump is still too weak to fire him. Pete Hegseth must be fired.

When I was flying combat missions, information like what Pete Hegseth shared over Signal was safeguarded like lives depended on it — because they did. His recklessness could have gotten people killed. If something like this happened on my mission, I’d be pissed off.

"Trump and his top advisers set out to reach a full ceasefire by April or May...but neither agreement appears imminent." Trump's false claims of ending the fighting in Ukraine have proved he will only bend the knee for Putin. reuters.com/world/trump-of…

Trump's intelligence and national security officials are a threat to the safety of the American people. Full stop.

I'm not making any inferences, but from distancing the US from NATO, promising that Ukraine won't join, ending the FBI's foreign influence taskforce, eliminating Radio Free Europe, Voice of America and foreign aid, Trump is fulfilling all of Putin's dreams.

Donald Trump says no one has been tougher on Russia than he has. Does he think the entire country is stupid? We can see what he's doing – denying Ukraine military, intelligence and diplomatic support – with our own eyes. No one is blind to his betrayal of our ally.

AI continues to be a center of conversation after the release of China's DeepSeek. @MikeESexton wrote 7 implications of the new AI model. ⬇️ thirdway.org/blog/7-implica…

Ukrainians have fought tooth-and-nail on the frontlines of democracy against Russian aggression. Pres. Trump and VP Vance’s words to Pres. Zelenskyy are rude and utterly shameful. The people of Ukraine and President Zelenskyy deserve an apology.

Zelensky doesn't need to say thank you... they are on the front lines fighting the fascist dictator that our president won't.

Honored to contribute to @TheNatlInterest’s Tech Policy Symposium on the U.S.-China tech competition. I outline three urgent priorities for U.S. competitiveness: streamlining regulations, building innovation zones, and closing the STEM gap. nationalinterest.org/blog/techland/…
