The #Pentagon already faces two #FirstAmendment lawsuits over its recent actions at #StarsAndStripes∶ one from the ombudsman, Jacqueline Smith, who sued over her firing & alleged retaliation; the other by two board members, who sued over the March restrictions, alleging illegal #censorship.

After a #Pentagon official, Andrew Brey, emailed Lederer last week & asked him to fire Slavin & Korte for participating in a #CBS #News interview, he declined to do so & instead submitted plans to retire, WaPo previously reported.
On Friday, all 3 were fired, with the dismissals to take effect after 5 business days. In their lawsuit filed Thursday, the 3 asked a federal judge to halt their firings.

In the lawsuit, filed Thursday in federal district court in Washington, publisher Max Lederer, editor in chief Erik Slavin & reporter Lara Korte claimed that their firings last week for “insubordination” were retaliatory in nature & violated federal administrative law.

@touaregtweet @DeGroene "Vanwege de defensiewet uit 2021 mag [ #Hegseth ] de legerbases niet opnieuw vernoemen naar zuidelijke generaals, dus neemt hij een juridische achterdeur: voor elke basis kiest hij een militair met dezelfde naam als hun voorganger. Op 16 juni 2025 wordt #FortGreggAdams zo weer #FortLee, deze keer vernoemd naar Private Fitz Lee, een Afro-Amerikaanse soldaat die een eremedaille ontving voor het bevrijden van gevangen soldaten in Cuba tijdens de Spaans-Amerikaanse Oorlog."

"While Hegseth and the Pentagon still decline to say why exactly George was fired, his refusal to ignore possible violations may certainly have played a role. George is one of numerous high-ranking military officials who have been unceremoniously fired by Hegseth during his tenure."

"The flyby... saw two AH-64 Apache helicopters hover over a #NoKings protest in Nashville, #Tennessee, before performing maneuvers next to Kid Rock’s mansion nearby. The #Army briefly suspended the helicopter crews involved before #Hegseth personally intervened and announced the soldiers would not be punished.... Weeks later, he and musician Kid Rock went on a taxpayer-funded helicopter joyride."

"Army chief of staff General Randy George insisted on conducting a probe into whether the #Pentagon violated protocol after the #military performed a flyby around #MAGA musician Kid Rock’s Tennessee estate—and a #NoKings protest. Days later, he was fired.
George was reportedly advised by the Army’s No. 2 officer... to drop the probe at the behest of Defense Sect #PeteHegseth.
... catalyst for George’s abrupt firing"

“Before #Hegseth fired him, a top general was advised to drop the probe into why armed forces helicopters flew over #Trump-supporter Kid Rock’s Tennessee estate.
Gen. Randy George appeared troubled by the encounter with Gen. Chris LaNeve, the Army’s No. 2 officer now favored for the service’s top job.”

“The policy of Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to bring a “warrior” ethos to the Pentagon by putting it “on offense, not just on defense” using “maximum lethality, not tepid legality,” and having “violent effect, not politically correct,” has given the U.S. a tremendous loss in Iran.”

[weekly newsletter about #Cuba from the #BellyOfTheBeast #news collective. Their videos can be found at: https://peertube.world/c/cuba_botb_videos/videos]Trash is piling up across #Havana because the city’s garbage trucks have run out of fuel.
But in one neighborhood, garbage collection now runs on #SolarPower.
As the #US #oil #blockade keeps fuel from reaching Cuba, one local business is finding a new way to keep the streets clean.
