Yup, that’s why Leaders, lead. They lead from the front and by example. Unless they’ve got no idea what the fek they’re doing, in which case they run round like headless chickens creating mayhem for everything they touch. The system wasnt broken why did he try fixing it ?

Pete Hegseth’s wife’s influence at the Pentagon raising questions about his leadership, NYT reports www.msn.com/en-us/news/o...

The Navy may change the name of a warship to honor a brave black man who served honorably in the Pearl Harbor attack to the name of a cowardly draft dodger who is so ignorant he didn’t even know what happened at Pearl Harbor, according to his then Chief of Staff accompanying him on the visit

I wonder whether Trump and Hegseth are considering backing out on naming an aircraft carrier after WWII hero Doris Miller because he was Black or because he had a "girl's name."

Access "journalists" like Michael Wolff keep these things for themselves until they're basically forced by events to release them. What else is that Oedipus hiding?

Renewable Energy is cheaper than oil. Renewable Energy is more securely available than oil.

None of this needed to happen. None of it would have happened if Trump hadn’t started a trade war with 🇨🇦 in the first place. We had a free trade agreement that he negotiated and signed during his first term. These wine makers and distillers need to remember that. Don’t blame 🇨🇦. Blame Trump.

The sad irony is that, despite claiming that brutal mass deportations would help Americans, a recent analysis found that surges in ICE enforcement actually led to overall job losses for both immigrants AND American-born workers. www.brookings.edu/articles/ice...

Authoritarianism demands loyalty to a person instead of loyalty to the law. When obedience becomes the price of belonging and disagreement becomes betrayal, public service stops serving the public—and starts serving power.

It's worth stressing that we only know about ICE's secret surveillance of anti-ICE meetings through the discovery process initiated by the government's prosecutions of protesters. There is likely a lot we don't know, and that's alarming (as I try to show the piece/thread below).

1/ I am still watching the Middle East very closely. But there is another developing story I think needs bringing into the same picture: El Niño. Not because it tells us what the weather will be. Because it changes the assumptions we normally use to plan around it. #SeafarerMeteorology #ElNiño
