I served two combat tours in Iraq as an Army Intelligence Officer. If I did what Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth did, I'd be in prison. All eyes should now be on FBI Director Kash Patel. Beyond pure corruption, I cannot think of a single reason for him not to launch an investigation ASAP.

The Signal incident is what happens when you have the most unqualified Secretary of Defense we've ever seen. We're lucky it didn't cost any servicemembers their lives, but for the safety of our military and our country, Secretary Hegseth needs to resign.

No one should be surprised that the most unqualified SecDef in history continues to make irresponsible decisions. The pattern will continue. wsj.com/politics/natio…

“With few exceptions, the women looked like they were going to a business meeting in 1985.” Suzy Weiss and @ElliotAckerman give their take on a corporate red carpet that “felt forced, not formal.” thefp.com/p/met-gala-fas…

“Oh, Reverend Al, we miss your tracksuits from the old days.” At the Met Gala themed on black dandyism, @ElliotAckerman writes, “There’s nothing more American than a good old-fashioned dandy.” Just take off one accessory. thefp.com/p/met-gala-fas…

I struggle around Memorial Day weekend. After the Afghan withdrawal, I started posting the names of all the fallen—2,456 got a post. I did it for 2 years—it took a toll, I stopped. I have a need to do something so this year, I will simply re-write the names of people I knew.

.@ElliotAckerman: When I went to war, I wrote letters to my loved ones in case I never came home. Sullivan Ballou did too, and his words are a reminder of what Memorial Day is about. open.substack.com/pub/bariweiss/… The Free Press

To say the quiet thing out loud, the only way Trump’s strategy works is if the regime topples under the pressure … Because even if the Iranians “negotiate” this regime will always be trying for nukes. So this is about regime change.
