King Musk-Trump removed the Black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour (without cause) and trying to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander. Yep, being Black is a crime.

I'm about to drop a piece at The Atlantic on this Pentagon purge. As I warned, Trump is capturing Justice, Intelligence, the military. This is praetorianism, pure and simple.

I am the great-grandson of a man who led his family out of the shtetl to a strange land in search of a better life. I am the grandson of the three-year-old boy on that journey. As you know, my name is Marc, but my Hebrew name is Elhanan—after the warrior in David’s army who slew a powerful giant.
