So are we still more upset about Diverse, but qualified, yet presumed unqualified hires, than DUI hires?
(Asking for anyone who cares about US National Security)
Pete Hegseth needs to go for the safety of the United States & the allies that we still have.
Of course advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.
The Secretary is unfit to lead.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

I don't know if JD Vance killed the Pope, but I think we should deport him to El Salvador just in case.
--- MAILBAG QUESTIONS ---
More of a comment that hopefully you can address in the mailbag episode. As a long-time follower (Grist days), I have always enjoyed your depth, and yes, your frank, brutally honest dismay in response to climate crisis topics. But as a person a few years older than you, I have been chuckling / cringing of late at your self-characterization as "an Old Guy". I know you've been around a while, but I don't think your experience reaches back to in person experience of the Vietnam War, the Cold War, and the nuclear arms race; to name a few topics that give those of us with first-hand memory of those existential crises a different perspective on today's challenges.
But I'm not writing to criticize or make you feel worse; but rather to cheerlead a bit by pointing out that our greatest weapon is hope. Your pivot to coverage of clean tech shows that you get this. We and our fellow humans are hopelessly flawed when it comes to reasoning and decision making with facts and data. We only change our minds based on emotion, and I'm certain that positivity is more powerful than its opposite. So, take heart, not just for your own sanity, but in order to have a larger impact on the world.
