Wow. A convicted Jan. 6 Capitol rioter has been hired to work in a Pentagon office that handles classified military information. Elias Irizarry was hired to work in the DOD’s Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict, and internal alarms are going off. www.mediaite.com/media/news/t...

This is completely unacceptable and Congress must investigate. Service members aboard the USS Tripoli and USS Abraham Lincoln are rationing food and going without fresh produce.

Hegseth’s most corrosive actions have been to fire more a dozen senior admirals and generals . A disproportionate number have been minorities or women. One African American officer recently told me that minorities in the Pentagon feel as if they have a target on their backs. wapo.st/4v9trlZ

US Defense Minister Hegseth's stockbroker wanted to invest money in large defense companies in the weeks before the US-Israeli attack on Iran, the Financial Times reports. The Trump clique is nothing more than a huge corruption machine. This is what happens when the right rules.

In cases you were wondering . . . this is a photo that annoyed Pete Hegseth so much because he thought it was "unflattering" so he got the photographer barred. I encourage all of you to use it as often as possible.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

(AP) — Dozens of reporters turned in access badges and exited the Pentagon on Wednesday rather than agree to government-imposed restrictions on their work, pushing journalists who cover the American military further from the seat of its power. @apnews.com apnews.com/article/pent...

NEW: The Pentagon told journalists it will require them to pledge they won’t gather any information — even unclassified — that hasn’t been expressly authorized for release, and will revoke the press credentials of those who do not obey. @washingtonpost.com

The DoD just spent millions of taxpayer dollars to haul in top military leaders so Pete Hegseth could rant about “fat generals” and Trump could ramble about sending troops after Americans because “woke”. Tell me again how we’re making America great again?

Pentagon censorship betrays the freedom it is charged to defend. In demanding pre-approval of press coverage, Trump’s Department of War defends only Trump while making the First Amendment the enemy.

Duckworth to Hegseth: "You are blowing through money like my fellow cadets and I did in our first liberty after basic camp. Luckily I didn't end up with a questionable tattoo ... you're just an unqualified yes man who can't tell the president how to keep Americans safe."
