There is no version of reality where Pete Hegseth was remotely qualified or morally fit for the position he occupies.

That’s why our troops are in danger, it’s why our National Guard members were shot, it’s why we have armed, masked thugs terrorizing people…

Sarah Owings is a lawyer who represents immigrants who have been detained by ICE. As Trump and Republicans remove all oversight measures at these facilities, it is critical that we listen to her clients’ stories.

Two independent studies found that AI chatbots were better at persuading voters than political ads. The most persuasive bots also lied the most. This is something that humans working in psyops have known for decades. AI is psyops at scale. www.technologyreview.com/2025/12/04/1...

Trump and cronies like Pete Hegseth aren’t just criminal incompetents, they’re utterly dangerous.

The combination of cruelty, inadequacy, and corruption destabilizes and endangers all of us, and every day it gets worse and worse.

"Unitary executive" is really "24 year olds in the West Wing tell everyone in the federal government with experience and knowledge what to do at their jobs."
thinking more about this: it is highly ironic that at the same time that it serves as a test case for the "unitary executive," this administration is all but being led by two subordinate officials with no immediate political accountability.

How low we have sunk as a country. The US Department of Defense is now run by a rabid war criminal.

Ordering the execution of helpless survivors of an attack is ALWAYS a war crime, whether they civilian or military.

Pure, mindless, barbarism.

To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.
Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing

"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."
