More messages were released yesterday from a Signal group chat between President Trump’s top security officials laying out plans to strike Houthi targets in Yemen. The Atlantic — whose editor in chief had been inadvertently added to the group, and who first wrote about the leak on Monday — published a fuller transcript.

The leaked chat led to mounting calls by Democrats for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to step down, saying he had behaved recklessly and could have endangered American troops. Hegseth revealed the precise timing of the strikes on Houthi targets.

Tulsi Gabbard, the national intelligence director, and John Ratcliffe, the head of the C.I.A., faced intense questions during a hearing in Congress. Speaking to reporters yesterday, Hegseth did not offer an apology for the disclosures and insisted that the information shared in the chat was not “war plans.”

Election Day is the news industry’s biggest night, when voters rely on media outlets to declare state-by-state winners and keep score in the Electoral College.

Mr. Macron is under pressure to act quickly. Borrowing costs for France, which has Europe’s second-largest economy after Germany’s, soared Tuesday to their highest level since the 2008 financial crisis, as investors increased the premium they demand to hold French debt.

My colleague David Sanger, our White House correspondent who covers national security, told us that,66jogo Cassinos ao Vivo Brasil technically, the exchanges did not include war plans. But Hegseth’s descriptions were so detailed that it may be a distinction without a difference. “Had the chat leaked,” David said, “it could have given advance warning to the Houthis, who could have simply left the site and defeated the mission. They could have also prepared to launch against the planes, which would have put the pilots’ lives at risk.”
