Because bombing the Houthis for terrorism or attacking Gulf states/western interests has been the status quo for over a decade.

That, and because we don't care about Yemen, but we do care about an over powered executive abusing power, breaking multiple laws, and endangering US troops/assets.
TLDR: Bombing Yemin is legal, breaking US national security is illegal.
The bombing is worse, but using signal instead of official communication channels is still really fucking serious. They want to plan and commit war crimes and avoid any responsibility for it by trying to keep it from ever getting under public scrutiny.
Both are really serious problems in their own right, one's just a little closer to home

people feel there is more of a chance to hold people accountable for the group chat than the bombing
lib priorities
They’re bombing the Houthi’s in Yemen because the Houthis have been launching Iranian missiles at ships in the Red Sea since 2023? Including the US navy (don’t touch the boats) and Israel. The houthis are currently holding hostage a number of crews of merchant ships
Because it is controlled by the Houthis, Islamist terrorists threatening global trade, overthrowing a quasi-friendly government and REINSTITUTING SLAVERY.

Bush and Obama did it too. Historically, it's been a targeted killing thing against Al-Qaeda (or so they have said), with whatever government they have, giving their blessing. If other sites are correct, Trump did it more, but it's kinda hard to pick nits there.

That's why a lot people are more upset over the lack of operational security than the action itself. They're not conducting themselves in a way that keeps our country safe, They skirting monitoring and can't even get that right.

Calm down. Americans only recently learned where Palestine was. The grey mush they call a brain can only handle so much.
