Reup: Trump faces humiliating failures in at least three negotiation attempts (Harvard, Ukraine, and Tariffs). His failures all stem from believing he has more power than he does. If the tariff failure gets as bad as it could, he will need to compensate. www.emptywheel.net/2025/04/29/m...

“The Pentagon is in ‘total chaos’ and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is unlikely to remain in his role, according to its former top spokesperson, who painted a scene of dysfunction, backstabbing and continuous missteps at the highest levels of the department.”

Remember this? Drinking at the podium. Chaos at the Pentagon. We’re one whiskey shot away from DEFCON 1. Every Senator who voted to confirm Hegseth knew exactly who he was. They don’t get to act shocked now—they should be held accountable.

Chair Comer denied our request for an official trip to El Salvador to advocate for due process and the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Pretty shameful. Good thing I don’t need Comer’s permission to get on a plane.

Sec of Defense Pete Hegseth has made the American people far less safe. His ongoing blunders are frightening and irresponsible. Under normal circumstances he would resign today.

Pete Hegseth, clearly upset: "This is what the media does. They take anonymous sources from disgruntled former employees, and then they try to slash and burn people and ruin their reputations. Not going to work with me."

Every single service member and veteran, if they’re being honest, will all tell you the exact same thing: We’d be immediately burned at the stake if we treated classified intel the way Pete Hegseth has treated it.

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.
