You can also go to a public library and have a conversation with a librarian that might help you expand your taste and worldview instead of merely affirming it. They’ll even let you check out the books for free.

Excellent article. Kudos to @NavalInstitute for upholding its proud tradition of independent thought and intellectual courage at a time when too many voices across the Defense Department are being silenced.
This is exactly why independent military journalism matters.
Recently “the Pentagon has fired some of the nation’s most competent officers, injected political and religious rhetoric into a traditionally nonpartisan institution, and dismantled some of the strongest scaffolding supporting a smart and capable military”

"He's the first president to turn the Department of Justice into his own personal law firm. That is not its role. They are supposed to be about the laws of this country," says Jonathan Capehart. "This is a lawsuit in search of a crisis or chaos." to.pbs.org/3UET54G

The debris trucks I photographed yesterday at the East Potomac Golf Course with taped-over logos also went so far as to tape over their license plates. Just re-watched the video I shot of them arriving and noticed that.

Ronan Farrow reported in 2023 that the Pentagon signed a SpaceX contract to keep Musk from being able to cut off Ukraine’s battlefield connectivity at will. Colin Kahl described it as a way to lock in service so Musk couldn’t just flip the switch.
WSJ now reports U.S. officials say Musk ordered the Oct. 14 Starshield slowdown anyway, after speaking with Trump.
If that reporting holds, the guardrail didn’t hold.
1/3 Musk ordered last week's slowdown of Starshield, which Ukraine fights on, after talking with Trump, per @WSJ. In '23 the Pentagon signed a contract with SpaceX to “prevent Musk from turning off the switch," per fmr Under Sec of Defense Colin Kahl.

So, to be clear, the letter written by the mother who actually raised Pete Hegseth written 6 years before he was confirmed as SECDEF saying he was an abuser of women was just a trivial family dispute but a statement by a mother who lost custody of her child for abuse and neglect and hasn’t seen her in 50 years is “fair game” and the mother who abandoned her child for an indicted child rapist was “so brave” to trash her child.
That’s the @GOP
