Hegseth has selected Justin Fulcher, co-founder of telemedicine startup RingMD who also represented the DOGE team at the Department of Veterans Affairs, to serve as a senior adviser, according to a Pentagon statement. The secretary frequently touts the group’s findings, saying it has identified billions in wasteful spending at the Pentagon.

Hegseth is an over-coiffed asshat.
Who behaves like a child playing war games.
And knows fvcking nothing about international relations.

The Guardian · Pete Hegseth’s controversial chief of staff leaves post unexpectedlyBy Joseph Gedeon

A fed judge in MD: ordered the Trump admin to facilitate the return of a 20-yr-old VE man deported to SLV, whose removal violated a previous ct stlmt.

US Dist Judge Stephanie Gallagher, a TRUMP APPOINTEE -ordered the govt🚨NOT TO REMOVE OTHER INDIVs covered by the stlmt.

"The Trump admin sent alleged gang members to SLV despite a ct’s order barring deportations to 3rd-party Cs.

The order🚨only applied to the #DHS. #DoD carried out the #deportations."

ABC News · Judge orders return of 2nd migrant deported to El SalvadorBy Katherine Faulders

"We have a civilian in charge of the military (with the president as “commander-in-chief”) to ensure that the military is accountable to the people and their elected representatives, not to the whims of those in uniform. “If there is one basic element in our Constitution, it is civilian control of the military,” President Harry Truman once said. The general and admirals don’t get to decide their priorities, or their budget, or even their own terms of service.

As Secretary of Defense, Hegseth is supposed to embody civilian control of the military, a civilian who oversees the Pentagon, not a part of it. Yet his office has been all but hollowed out in recent days, with five of his top aides being mysteriously drummed out."

Ken Klippenstein · Is a Military Coup Unfolding at the Pentagon?By Ken Klippenstein

LOL - Total Idiocracy: "It's possible that the White House may be looking to replace Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth after critics warned that a pair of controversial Signal chats risked compromising US national security.

In March, it was revealed that Hegseth accidentally texted secret bombing plans in a Signal chat that included a reporter, raising alarms about his handling of sensitive military information. And then this weekend, The New York Times revealed that he similarly shared the attack plans, just minutes after learning of them, in a personal Signal chat that included his wife and brother.

That second revelation sparked a "full-blown meltdown" at the Pentagon, The Guardian reported, apparently prompting the Trump administration to begin "the process of looking for a new secretary of defense," a US official granted anonymity told NPR Monday."

Ars Technica · White House plagued by Signal controversy as Pentagon in “full-blown meltdown”By Ashley Belanger
#USA#Trump#Pentagon

#WhiteHouse looking for new secretary of #defense #DOD #sedev per NPR. This comes as Defense Secretary #PeteHegseth continues to find himself mired in controversy. #NPR has also confirmed with the same official that #Hegseth shared details ahead of last month's #Yemen strikes with his wife and brother in a #Signal #chat on his personal phone, minutes after being updated by a senior U.S. #military official. The news of the second Signal group chat about the mission was reported by #NewYorkTimes

Continued thread

“The objective of this evaluation is to determine the extent to which the secretary of #defense & other #DoD personnel complied with DoD policies & procedures for the use of a commercial messaging application for official business,” the acting inspector general, Steven Stebbins, said in a notification letter to #Hegseth.

It’s not clear whether Mr. Stebbins’s review has uncovered the #Signal chat that included Hegseth’s wife & other advisers.
