Pete Hegseth and his staff have to learn to accept the fact that there is no such thing as a flattering photo of him.

Also, grow the hell up.

How naive can they get.

David Roehde on #11thHour characterizes #Hegseth's order to "Kill them all" in the latest #Caribbean small boat bombing as an attempt to intimidate drug runners.

Bullshit. It's about #DefSec doubling down on murder. But primarily getting rid of inconvenient witnesses.

More murders in the Caribbean.

We have a President and a #DefSec (#Hegseth) with a murder lust rivaling that of Jack The Ripper.

They weren't wrong when they said salt can be bad for you...

Remember, folks: six grams of salt per day is your healthy limit.

An extra $150 billion for US defence spending?

DOD budget must be way over $1 trillion now?

That Nobel Peace Prize will soon be winging its way towards the White House - let's hope it doesn't bounce off the #GoldenDome

Renaming Ships, Trashing the Legacy of Courageous Achievement

Trump's #DefSec Pete Hegseth seeks the erasure of great & brave Americans like Harvey Milk, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Thurgood Marshall & Medgar Evans b/c they don’t align w/ their sick, twisted view of the world.

Morning, all

Pete Hegseth's 'Aircraft carriers are obsolete...' reminds me of Boris Johnson's 'The tank is dead - cyberwarfare's where it's at.'

Perhaps Hegseth should let the Chinese know - they're ramping up their fleet carrier build-up and will soon begin construction of their first CVN.

Another #Navy jet falls into sea, marking 4th major mishap (no Houthis involved) in recent months

The latest loss of another $67 million F/A-18 Super Hornet comes after #DefSec Hegseth twice extended the deployment of the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman.
