Joining Trump 2.0? As a Trump 1.0 vet, here’s my advice: Serve the Constitution, not the President. Be brave, set boundaries & stay true to your values. No one signs up to be a hero, but sometimes the moment calls for it. America is counting on you. More here: www.welivedit.news/p/so-youre-g...

I dove deep into the lessons I learned in my military career to examine the utterly terrible idea of Trump having a board evaluate all 3 and 4-star generals for removal. This won’t just hurt today’s military but national security for decades to come. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

The same people who’ve spent the last several years decrying “unqualified DEI hires” are now shoehorning through Cabinet nominations who can’t even pass a basic background test.
