The U.S. government admitted on Monday that it has “lost” a very, very expensive jet after it slipped off a moving aircraft carrier last week. The warplane, a US Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter jet, somehow tumbled off the USS Harry S. Truman after the ship reportedly came under fire from Houthi rebels. The carrier has been deployed in the region for months as part of the U.S. effort to deter activity by the Yemen-based fighters, the Associated Press reports. “The F/A-18E was actively under t

Did you know that United States Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is a member of Sleeper.com, a fantasy football betting site? Or that he thinks the staff of some random dental office is “amazing”? We shouldn’t know, but we do thanks to Hegseth’s messy digital habits. In a continuation of “Signalgate”, new reports indicate that not only was Hegseth’s personal phone number (which he used for Signal) easily accessible online, but he also had the app installed on Pentagon devices.

Pete Hegseth, the most unqualified defense secretary in America’s history, has been embroiled in scandal after scandal in the short time he’s held the Pentagon’s top job. The former Fox News host appeared on his old cable network Tuesday morning to defend himself, as speculation swirls about President Donald Trump potentially firing him soon.

That appears to have been what happened, when the U.S. Secretary of Defense and former Fox News personality Pete Hegseth reportedly texted detailed operational war plans to the head editor of The Atlantic.
