Hi all...wow. Just wow. Marcy Wheeler makes a compelling case for firing Trump’s entire national security team. If you’re planning to convey that sentiment to your representatives in Congress here’s a generic version of the note I just sent to my Republican Member of the House. I’m also sending it to my Senators (both Democrats). You can use it as a boilerplate or edit it down for a phone script:
“March 25, 2025
Dear ----
As a member of Congress, you can ensure that appointees of President Trump, including those who were confirmed to office by the U.S. Senate, are called to account for their failure to perform the duties of their offices, up to and including the unprecedented use of the Signal app to discuss last week’s military strike Yemen.
Congress can call for U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel to launch a full investigation, focusing not only on how a reporter came to be included in the thread but more importantly, on three vital questions: (1) how and why did the President’s national security team decided to use Signal in the first place (2) what contributions did the President’s domestic policy advisor Stephen Miller make to the discussion, and (3) whether or not the messages were set on autodelete in potential violation of federal records law.
Congress can also call for an investigation into when Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth knew about this incredibly serious breach of national security, and why he and no-one else in a position of responsibility informed the President before, during, or at the very least immediately after, the discussion on Signal took place.
As a member of Congress, one of your most fundamental responsibilities is to keep our communities safe. Please do not enable our community's safety and security, and that of our nation, to remain in the hands of a clearly irresponsible and incompetent national security team. Please let me know your plan for working to ensure that those responsible for the Signal discussion are thoroughly investigated and held responsible to the greatest extent possible, including, if necessary, prosecution under 18 U.S. Code § 793 or any other applicable criminal law.
I look forward to your reply.”

That’s it! Let me know if it helps.
