Peter and Susan explain why, despite the serious national security implications of Signalgate and the long knives being out for both Pete Hegseth and Michael Waltz, there's a decent chance that both will keep their jobs; Steve Witkoff is entirely out of his depth serving as Trump's envoy to Russia in the effort to end the war in Ukraine; and the decision to nix Elise Stefanik's bid to be U.S. ambassador to the United Nation is a clear sign that the GOP's political standing is increasingly imperiled.
