"The Navy is a capable organization. Its budget is $300b a year. It is capable of resupplying an aircraft carrier...If the people in charge are using up sailors as carelessly as they are using up munitions, it’s because they don’t care enough to do otherwise." www.thebulwark.com/p/the-troops...

The Troops Deserve Better than Hegseth

The president, the secretary of defense, and the top Navy officials are blithely ignoring the suffering of the sailors at sea.

Sort of wild that Republicans are currently trying to confirm as Attorney General a man who has just been chastised by a court for failing to do as the court ordered. Sounds like another incompetent hire by the Trump regime.

1. Todd, you said you would provide documentation proving the redacted names are victims. You didn't. Instead, you just said they are victims based on a lawyer telling you that. Therefore, you FAILED to comply with the court order. 2/

In its Order of July 25, 2026, the Court ordered the Defendant to provide documentation supporting his representation that certain names that have been redacted in the published version of certain documents are the names of victims. See Order, ECF No. 23 at 2. The Defendant did not provide such documentation; rather, he asserted that certain redacted text contains the identities of victims or potential victims whose counsel have contacted the government and requested that the persons be treated as victims. See Def.’s Notice of Compliance with Court Order, ECF No. 25 at 2-3. The Defendant’s assertions do not comply with the Court’s Order, which requires documentation to support the assertions. The Defendant shall be prepared to discuss what documentation he will provide to support his assertions.

“President Trump raged at the assessment his national-security team gave him at Camp David on Friday, which showed that the U.S. military was running low on the munitions that would be necessary for Trump to order an escalation against Iran.”

BREAKING: We’re suing Texas A&M University’s Board of Regents to challenge their censorship policy that restricts instruction on race, sexual orientation, and gender. Public universities can't ban ideas they don't like.

From the Book of Great Understatements: “Although I did not properly understand it then, I had observed in Freud the eruption of unconscious religious factors. Sexuality evidently meant more to Freud than to other people.” --C. G. Jung
