"The most transparent DoD in U.S. history," as Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth Pete Hegseth and his team calls itself, cracks down on media access again. I've been on this beat 17 years through numerous administrations. Never seen anything like this. One briefing all year. None again this week.

It is traditional for the president at academy commencements to congratulate each cadet. That part of the ceremony is now happening without him.

Trump has been actively trying to politicize the U.S. military since his first campaign. Those cadets have been taught that this is inappropriate, but now the CINC is telling them that rules are for other people.

The way Biden flipped the script on Republicans last time they tried to come for Medicare and Social Security. A masterclass.

You are deeply unwell.

I reluctantly accept

Kasich has this right:

Laurence Tribe 🇺🇦 ⚖️ Living in Boston with several major colleges / universities , the foreign students also stay and start great companies. It’s a pipeline we shouldn’t break, it will take years to rebuild after they start in 🇬🇧🇫🇷🇨🇦 Laurence Tribe 🇺🇦 ⚖️

Agreed. I’d be pretty worried if a real Secretary of Defense said it.
