This bit, & the one in the next reskeet, need to be fully unpacked. What Hegseth is asserting here is that the zero defect concept, which plays an important role in an up or out military, is going away as long as he's SecDef. 1/
Hegseth: "You should not pay for an earnest mistake for your entire career. That's why today, at my direction, we're making changes to the retention of adverse information on personnel records."

Bro, finding out that the guy who shot Charlie Kirk is the worst guy you meet in online gaming who lives on 4chan is wild because now the normies are finding out how bad the online manosphere is...

Going to a family bbq and having my entire legal Mexican-American family discussing if they should flee to Mexico is honestly a terrifying and infuriating thing to think about. This is why I get so frustrated with some many white people who don't understand how bad this political moment is.

You know, while I'm not saying this actually happened, it is mighty suspicious that JD Vance met with the pope right before he died.

Working for a state department of health right now is wild. Not only do we have a measles outbreak in our state, but we are constantly getting new federal guidance from vaccine deniers and cuts to federal spending on public health. The government is supposed to protect, not encourage death

Bernie Sanders: "I think this is a prelude not only to cutting benefits, but to privatizing Social Security ... why do you lie so much about Social Security? Why do you make it look like it's a broken system? The reason is to get people to lose faith in the system so you can give it over to Wall St"

I don’t understand why the president is allowed to spout nonsense about colonizing another country and the 25th amendment isn’t being invoked in addition to all the other horrors this is insane. It’s absolutely insane. It isn’t funny or even weird.

They were never about free speech. They just wanted to say fucked up shit and get away with it.
@aoc.bsky.social: "For a party that loves to talk about free speech, they lay down the hardest hammer in trying to intimidate and punish anyone who does anything that they don't like. And the point of it is trying to make an example out of one person so that none of us stand up."

BARTIROMO: Can you give us a sense of whether or not we're gonna get clarity for the business community?

TRUMP: The tariffs could go up as time goes by.

BARTIROMO: So that's not clarity.

TRUMP: For years the globalists have been ripping off the United States.

BREAKING: SpaceX's Starship EXPLODES, causing FAA to halt flights at 4 major airports

The previous Starship also exploded, in January

THIS is why FAA probed SpaceX for safety

And THIS is why Musk has been trying to kill FAA - and why he should NOT get any more govt contracts

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.

Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Genuinely trying to decide whether to cut off friends (who don't reach out much) who voted for trump or not. I never thought I would be in that position, but knowing that our values so egregiously do not align is hard for me to reconcile

And we finally got a job offer! A low ball offer, but I just need to get a job with the impending trade war and the can push for a solid raise later. Also, not working for an evil company, so that's good.

Crockett: I am tired of the white tears. When you compare me to Marjorie Taylor Greene or me to Lauren Boebert, there is no comparison. So the only people that are crying are the mediocre white boys that have been beaten out by people that historically have had to work so, so much harder

Despite the crappy news and feeling like the world is ending every other hour, a two foot snowstorm never ceases to lift the spirits.

Also, the ice beard keeps the face warm by keeping the wind off.

The story of this first week is corruption. Billionaires seated on the inaugural stage in front of the cabinet, crypto pump and dump, and the illegal firing of IGs. The media is acting like this is too chaotic and bewildering to interpret, but they are just afraid of sounding shrill. It’s corrupt.

They only back the institutions that keep them in power
Trump just pardoned these people.

Don’t ever tell me Republicans “back the blue” again.

A lesson from the TikTok Affair should be that bipartisan efforts to preserve U.S. national security are vulnerable to the incoming president getting bought off and switching sides for his own personal and political benefit. Not great!
