Congress requires DOD to facilitate Scouts activities but the Secretary can ignore the law in cases where it is “detrimental to national security." Hegseth is preparing to do so because the scouts have become too inclusive of girls.

Susan Collins is terrible and anyone who ever suggested she is a moderate is a liar or a rube.
