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.
You always own your intellectual property, mailing list, and subscriber payments. With full editorial control and no gatekeepers, you can do the work you most believe in.
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

That all of this was known is not as important as it being well publicized now. A GAO or IG report is easily buried on page 12 or completely ignored. Musk putting it out to millions of voters on X cannot. Having Trump looking over everyone’s shoulders should provide all the impetus needed to affect real change.

This should be a reason for voting out every member of Congress in both Houses when they are up next for re-election.
Term limits: yes! And we also need to pass laws regarding the lobbying system.
I have been dismayed that my generation has been blamed for so many things. I want to grab younger people by the collar and say, we DID vote for fiscal responsibility! We DID vote for smaller government, efficiency, better schools, etc. - but once in office, the politicians had to bow to lobbyists in order to be reelected. Whole books have been written about the ways that the lobbying system has undermined the voters’…
One lobbying fact that really got me is that lobbyists have security badges that get them into places in the U.S. Capitol that are denied to average citizens! This should be stopped.
