Free tabloid hed: SECRETARY OF DEFENSIVENESS

Great, now I need a 10,000 word live-in profile of Oklahoma City's most successful defense contractor and marijuana processor

I don't know how any American parent can ever again look their kid in the face and honestly tell them not to let the pigeon drive the bus

Trump pardoned the sentence of arguably the single biggest drug trafficker in American history on his second day in office!

today in breaking laws no matter how obscure, ladies and gentlemen, the Goldwater-Nichols Act

He seems really eager to christen the new first-in-its-class USS Massive Workplace Discrimination Settlement

Reality is absurd

This is quite significant in many ways: the overt thuggery, Trump’s barely suppressed fury at being contradicted by a woman, the governor’s standing up, the total abandonment of the pretense of federalism, the continuing use of trans Americans the way Hitler used Jews.

its genuinely insane that they're firing CJCS for being black and CNO for being a woman. that is what's happening here

FOLLOWUP: SECDEF Hegseth also firing the CNO, the USAF Vice-Chief, and somewhat unusually and ominously to do in the same breath, the senior JAGs of the Army, Navy, and USAF

Stop mass deportations with this one simple trick: wapo.st/41apYFB (gift link)

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

😳

Breaking: Secretary of Defense removed Adm. Lisa Franchetti as chief of naval operations. Story to come for USNI News.

A female admiral. A Black general.

How it started. How it’s going

⚡️63% of Ukrainians approve Zelensky as president, poll shows.

NEW YORK (AP) — Dow tumbles 748 points, and S&P 500 has worst drop in 2 months after discouraging reports on the US economy.

Remember when John Roberts gutted the Medicaid expansion because he said the *offer* of medicaid money was too coercive to the states bsky.app/profile/atru...

This is what the Silicon Valley gang wants the US to base its full faith and credit on.

AAHHHHHHHHH

TIL Canada senators are required by law to retire at 75. By my count, the U.S. currently has fourteen senators age 75 or over, with another twenty between the ages of 70 and 75

Look at this chart! Half of all homebuyers in 1981 were under 31?! And the median age has just gone steadily up by a *generation* since then?!

Good thing Elon Musk has nothing to do with DOGE, otherwise this might look a bit shady www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Final UMich consumer sentiment numbers for Feb nearly doubled the decline from the prelim numbers The 10% single month drop is quite large, and comes entirely from Ds/Is Ds recorded their lowest expectations value ever, while Rs seem to be expecting a golden age

how many controversial salutes are there. i can only think of the one but admittedly i'm not a salute scholar

seems pretty definitive when even a National Front type just calls out the salute for what it is

NEW: The Energy Department tried to spin its DOGE-directed firing of nuclear-safety officials as affecting just non-critical staff. But this wasn’t close to true. In fact, one of the officials locked out of his work accounts was the top authority for all nuclear-safety matters in the agency.

We've collected our articles and videos to help you understand why Zelensky's legitimacy is being questioned and how that plays into Russia's hands.

Elon Musk is a cure for imposter syndrome.

“I thought we were supposed to be in a new era of meritocracy. Not the indiscriminate firing of people,” said one Republican congressional aide granted anonymity to speak candidly. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

You can't call a Nazi salute a Nazi salute anymore, because of woke

Gangster capitalism. www.wsj.com/business/med...

The US Justice Department has determined that multiple layers of removal restrictions shielding administrative law judges are unconstitutional and will no longer defend them in court, top officials said reut.rs/437W3AI

Over on X, simple tweets by my colleague Greg Bluestein of the Atlanta Journal Constitution have been blocked. They were nothing but video of a town hall held by Rep. Rich McCormick R-GA where he was asked questions about DOGE

"Beneath the sound of Duffy’s voice, video of the conference sounds like a hostile sports match, with near-constant waves of boos and chants." www.sfgate.com/travel/artic...

I missed this one: CNN filed a FOIA request for some information about DOGE accessing records at the office of personnel management, and someone from OPM wrote back saying "Good luck with that, they just fired the whole privacy team." newrepublic.com/post/191663/...
