Lindy Briefing

THE SIGNAL: The U.S. military conducted at least two strikes on boats, one in the Caribbean Sea reportedly killing 6 individuals associated with Tren de Aragua (Headline 8) and another in the Pacific resulting in 2 deaths (Headline 10). A video of one boat strike has been shown to lawmakers (Headline 3), and the Pentagon is dealing with survivors of a strike (Headline 6).
THE FRICTION: Sources disagree on the extent to which Trump officials, including Hegseth, may have endangered troop safety using Signal chat (Headline 2) or maintained inappropriate secrecy regarding the boat attacks (Headline 9). The degree to which a "follow-up strike" is justified or obscures larger questions about the initial attacks is also debated (Headlines 4, 5).
THE NOISE: The "fog of war" explanation invoked by Hegseth (Headline 1) is likely a rhetorical defense rather than a verifiable detail. The search for a survivor in Mexico (Headline 7) suggests a low probability of success given the time elapsed.
