Students at more than a dozen defense dept. schools in the U.S., Europe, Korea, Japan + Guam walked out to protest orders rolling back DEI initiatives. Some of the signs displayed slogans, such as “We are skipping our lesson to teach U one” and “All history matters.” #Flashes

If Biden had done this it would have been a major story that consumed the media for the next week.

Trump's EO accuses transgender soldiers of living in conflict “with a soldier’s commitment to an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle, even in one’s personal life.” The same EO will reinstate soldiers who disobeyed legal orders to be vaccinated for Covid, which is the epitome of dishonor.

If you served, you know. Having a wall of all the previous Chairmen’s portraits is about honor and tradition, even though I’m sure many of those men had some beefs with their presidential bosses. Removing the portrait is petty, ignorant, and damaging to military honor and tradition.

Senator Duckworth is right. Pete Hegseth has no clue how to lead our armed forces.

Today is January 6th and no one is watching the Capitol be plundered, feces being smeared on the walls, and police officers being stabbed with American flags. Why? Because one side believes in democracy no matter what, and the other side only believes in it only when they win.

Canada -- Greenland -- Panama... It sounds like Trump just discovered the game of Risk and wants to try it out IRL. "The goal of the game is to occupy every territory on the board and, in doing so, eliminate the other players."

Why the "Mump Regime"? For a new world we need new words. Facing the coming Musk-Trump regime, it will not be enough to rely on the standard terms ("administration," "presidency", and the like). That normalizes the abnormal. snyder.substack.com/p/why-is-mus...

To get confirmed, Hegseth is now saying "of course women should be in combat positions!" He's "backtracking" (lying) for political expediency. Biden legit changed his mind (didn't lie) to save his son from a weaponized, Trumpified DOJ. Hypocrisy much?

After 26 years of active military service, two combat tours and two Bronze Stars, I'll run the Pentagon, and my wife who gets an allergy shot every month will be Surgeon General. We're as qualified for the jobs as Hegseth is for Sec of Defense. No matter what his mother now says.

If you're more upset with Biden being forced to consider the extraordinary step of peremptorily pardoning his own officials then you are about Trump appointing someone who’s promised to use the federal govt to exact personal retribution for Trump, then you need to think a little more critically.

I'm kinda baffled that we're back to all-Hunter-all-the-time. Biden didn't "break a promise." He changed his mind under dangerous new circumstances. Every day we get new revelations about how Trump & Co. can seriously damage our country, but Hunter is still more important. Just don't get it.

the frenzy over the hunter biden pardon is a good reminder that the press knows how to make something a scandal and has decided that nothing trump does is truly deserving of that treatment

A soldier with this history couldn't get promoted to Private First Class. So let's put him in charge of the whole enchilada, including nuclear weapons.

Pete Hegseth has published three books in four years. Jonathan Chait spent the last week reading them—and concluded that Hegseth is almost certainly the most dangerous of Trump's cabinet picks. theatln.tc/s24Z8tF4
