Since Hegseth seems hell-bent on changing back all the Army base names, let me get ahead of this now: No one was attached to the name Fort Hood. If you say you were, you are lying. Everyone fucking hated that base. People would joke that it was cursed. Just keep it as Fort Cavazos.

NEWS: The USAID official put on leave for disseminating two memos about Rubio's failure to push through life-saving foreign aid was in the process of writing a THIRD memo when fired. We obtained it. It's far more alarming than the first two.

An innocent child is dead—not by accident, but because their parents chose ignorance over medicine.

Letting your own kid die from a preventable disease isn’t just negligence, it’s child abuse.

Call it what it is: manslaughter. They should be locked up.

Also, in case you unplugged this weekend (v fair), here's our latest on the measles outbreak in West Texas, which grew to at least 146 cases, with 20 hospitalized and one unvaccinated school-age child dead.

The outbreak continues to be mainly in unvaccinated children.

It's gonna be difficult to get around this but if you have any morals at all you try to find a way to get them out that gets them benefits and they don't have to repay their enlistment bonuses. Pursue medical retirement boards, submit retirement packets, drag your feet until they ETS, etc.
