Vance: "Which regime in the world has civil nuclear power and enrichment without having a nuclear weapon? The answer is - no one."

Germany, Netherlands, Brazil and Japan all have civil nuclear power and the ability to enrich uranium. None have nuclear weapons.

A fired fed talking about DOGE, quoted by @marcfisher.bsky.social: "They did no assessment of what works. They didn’t ... find out what made the most sense to cut. They’ve damaged agencies so badly that now they can say it’s not working. Maybe that’s what they wanted all along.”

Opinion | Trump logic: ‘We want to help vets.’ ‘I help vets.’ ‘You’re fired.’
You can cancel their programs, cut off their pay, but you can’t sideline them. They are federal employees.

If Hegseth resigns and we get an Acting Secretary of Defense, it'll be the eighth time we've had one.

One came under Nixon, a second under GHW Bush.

And then we had *five* under Trump.

A couple of days ago, I finished this piece about how bad Trump's first week in office was.
But who could have predicted how disastrous the second week was going to be?
Actually, anyone paying attention.
New in PN: Trump's chaos governance failed once. He's trying it again.

"Trumpers have relished the dysfunction they’ve sown, calling it 'shock and awe.' The comparison of the start of Trump’s new term to the beginning of Bush’s failed Iraq War may prove to be very apt, in a catastrophic way."
Trump's chaos governance failed once. He's trying it again.
He's breaking eggs while ignoring their price.
