  1. 'Before Pete Hegseth had even been sworn in as defense secretary, Admiral Caudle, then the head of a major Navy training command, offered to help Mr. Hegseth prepare for his politically contentious Senate confirmation hearing...Nothing came of the offer. But soon after Mr. Hegseth took office, he fired the first woman to lead the Navy: Admiral Caudle’s boss. Days later, a senior officer on Admiral Caudle’s staff contacted Mr. Hegseth’s team'

  3. Hey, do y'all remember when the Secretary of Scotch Pete #Hegseth was roaming the seas with his bros in the #Navy and blowing up fisherman for fun? I know it seems a lifetime ago, in this, the age of the Kakistocracy Firehose.

    Turns out, it was all for naught. Cocaine prices, purity, and supply have not diminished, in fact, prices are going down at the wholesale market. (Good news for the Venture Capital set!)

    Honest to Bob, these failsons are so absurd I'm beginning to doubt any of this is real. Maybe I'm in a coma...although man, I don't know if I'm creative enough to come up with *waves hands around* all of this.

  5. USA starten angekündigte Überprüfung ihrer Truppenpräsenz in Europa

    Was ich gerne auch lesen würde:

    "EU starten Überprüfung der US-Truppenpräsenz in Europa

    Alle Standorte stehen zur Disposition, insbesondere solche, die die USA für ihre nationalen eigenstaatlichen Aktionen und Kriegsführungen in Afrika und Asien benutzen. Hierzu zählt insbesondere Ramstein Air Base, RAF Lakenheath, Aviano Air Base, Sigonella Naval Air Station, Morón Air Base."

    Well, I think Mr. #hegseth supports target practice. Have at it.

  9. "How could the best-equipped, most #sophisticated military in the world have allowed itself to be #humiliated by a third-rate power?

    First of all, Pete #Hegseth and Donald #Trump began with an astonishingly stupid theory of war: the belief that #performative #masculinity is how you win. Hegseth literally believes that the secret of #military #might in an age of AI-enabled drones that can travel hundreds of miles is more #testosterone."

  11. RE: mas.to/@euronews/1169966561218

    [During his speech at #NATO headquarters in Brussels, #Hegseth echoed #Trump's repeatedly criticism and slammed European allies for its response, or lack thereof, to the joint US-Israeli war in Iran, including the refusal to allow US forces access to bases in Europe to launch attacks.]

    A war started unilaterally by the US.
    Attacks that aren't allowed under current peace protocols. NATO isn't at war, just the US.

  16. US pauses Iran strikes because the arsenal ran dry. Interceptors shipped to Ukraine, burned on Houthis. A superpower patting pockets for bus fare. Defense Secretary Hegseth couldn’t be reconfirmed by his own party tomorrow. His own party lost confidence. The house is already burning when the alarm comes from inside. #IranWar #USPolitics #Hegseth #Arsenal #War #Politics #News #Bluesky #CurrentEvents #Accountability

  18. Can you imagine if a #democrats led #pentagon falsified troop deaths? #foxnews would be telling people to storm the Capitol. And rightly so.

    Is #aoc the only national leftist who takes an aggressive position?

    If James Carville told his 1990s DNC cronies to roll over and play dead, when do they show signs of life? Because #trump beats the shit out of a dead horse.

    Do the democrats own any moral clarity? Are they simply right lite, waiting to claim the remaining table scraps?

  19. "Hegseth’s obsession with physical markers of masculinity also reflects a broader misunderstanding of what makes a military effective. By confusing physical stature with strategic advantage, Hegseth’s Pentagon runs the risk of preparing for the wars that he imagines rather than those that they actually face.

    Hegseth makes a wild leap from healthy troops receiving appropriate medical care to hormonal treatment as some sort of military advantage. A fighter pilot, logistics coordinator, cyber operator, drone controller or missile technician does not become more effective on the battlefield because he has the testosterone profile of an action-movie star."

  20. "When weapons are fired, an invisible blast wave travels through the brains of anyone nearby. Exposure to lots of these blasts over time – even low-level ones – has been shown to cause brain health problems for service members."
