A new post from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth just a couple hours after President Trump said he wouldn’t have wanted a second strike on alleged narco boats and that Hegseth said he didn’t order second strikes.

Note two things about GOP Rep. Mike Turner's solid remarks on Hegseth's reported order:

1) Turner: "I agree that that would be an illegal act."

2) Implicitly confirms the Washington Post's reporting that this information has been kept from Congress
Rep. Mike Turner on the double strike to comply with Hegseth's orders: "If that occurred, that would be very serious and I agree that would be an illegal act…This is completely outside of anything that has been discussed with Congress and there is an ongoing investigation."

BREAKING:

Sen. Elissa Slotkin says police responded to her home tonight in response to a bomb threat. Slotkin wasn't at home at the time.

This is two days after Trump said Slotkin and other Democrats committed "seditious conspiracy, punishable by death."

Why is nursing longer considered a professional degree by Trump?

Healthcare corporations benefit from devaluing nurses, cutting costs by replacing RNs with lower paid staff.

This profit-driven approach treats nurses as interchangeable labor, risking patient safety.

Democrats need a leader who is aware of the American political events of this century
SCOOP: Schumer was more involved than reported with the attempted cave on the government shutdown. The Gang of 8 Senate Dems had his approval & he was getting daily updates.
In Thursday's caucus meeting, the Gang claimed they had 10 votes to cave. The caucus went nuts, leading to the new proposal.

They're finding ICE's mass detention agenda is SO broad it could actually "nullify" the controversial law.

More than half of the roughly 1,300 CDC layoff notices have been rescinded, but workers at health agencies who work on biodefense and mental health still lost their jobs.

2. SSA staff left the agency — through DRP & otherwise — under extreme duress.

Agency leadership repeatedly threatened mass layoffs or forced relocations — perhaps to faraway field offices — if not enough staff volunteered to resign or be reassigned.

1. This year, Social Security pushed out over 7K employees, the largest staffing cut in SSA history.

The DOGE-led, and questionably legal, government-wide DRP was just one part of that. There were also buyouts, early outs, and RIFs (layoffs).

Today's the last day for 150K+ feds who took the "Fork" (deferred resignation program), including 800+ at the Social Security Administration.

The experience at SSA demonstrates 3 things about the DRP:

1. It's the tip of the iceberg
2. It wasn't really voluntary
3. It hurts service to the public
