Secretary Hegseth is not fit to serve.
This is not some video game he is playing by blowing up boats.
There are humans in those boats and Hegseth and this administration have no problem blowing them up.

This is a highly unusual order from a Secretary of Defense, and it’s almost certainly a war crime.
In the strike in question, two people survived and were clinging to the side of the ruined boat, and a second mission was spun up to execute them.

Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.

The confirmation of Emil Bove to the 3rd Circuit is a direct assault on the integrity of our justice system.
A former Trump lawyer, Bove ordered a 15-year DOJ veteran to lie to a federal judge — then helped fire him for refusing.
Now he’s a judge. Corruption in action.

The downsizing of the National Weather Service and the NOAA appears to be part of an effort to privatize the work of such agencies.
In several instances, the companies poised to step into the void have deep ties to people tapped by Trump to run weather-related agencies. apnews.com/article/trum...
