Hegseth Strikes Female and Black Navy Officers From Promotion List. The result: a slate of 22 new one-star admiral nominees that bears little resemblance to the force these officers will help lead.
Of special note: The list has no women. w/ @katekelly

"Rather than define a political objective and select the best instrument, US does the reverse. It reaches for the military tool and hopes the politics will follow. “Rolling Thunder” in Viet., “Shock and Awe” in Iraq, “Epic Fury” in Iran." @IvoHDaalder

Acting Army COS Gen. LaNeve says in HASC hearing this AM that conversations and the decision surrounding the cancelation of an Army brigade's deployment to Poland were "relatively recent."
"It's probably been within the last two weeks," LaNeve told Rep. Austin Scott.

“The decision to withdraw troops follows a comprehensive, multilayered process that incorporates perspectives from key leaders in EUCOM and across the chain of command. This was not an unexpected, last-minute decision, and it would be false to report it as such.” -Acting Pentagon Press Secretary @JoelValdezDOW

Read this...or just listen to "Patches."
"Blind from youth and distinguished by his deep, declamatory baritone and lecherous, full-throated laugh, Mr. Carter combined the sermonic fervor of a backwoods preacher and the bawdy humor of a juke joint."

Adm. Cooper’s testimony suggested that he believed that the U.S. military’s record since Feb. 28 school strike had been near perfect.
“Ridiculous,” said human rights group that investigates civilian casualties.

I don't know a whole lot about a whole lot. But I know my city. Don't tell me there aren't Wizards fans out there. They're there, like they've been for decades. D.C. is a basketball town. It just needed a reason to have real hope for the pro team. Sunday was hope.

NEW: President Trump is desperate for the Iran war to end
Energy prices are up, his polls are down. Few U.S. military goals have been achieved
Trump doesn’t want to resume hostilities so he keeps punting his deadlines - and Tehran is calling his bluff theatlantic.com/national-sec…

I can't stop being happy for @FedGirlWaPo -- who mined the fed workforce beat unlike any other Postie has done.
So happy for all my friends who won the Pulitzer for covering DOGE fallout, but Lisa is such a gem. Few reporters have her arc these days ...

Grateful for the work of Brian Stelter at CNN/Reliable Sources putting this under lights. Hopefully everyone is doing the same. This is where 1st amendment abuses impact press freedom, chill sources and creep into biz interests for a free and plural press. Hold the line. 1/2

How would soldiers from places like Florida, Texas and Georgia fight and persevere in temperatures as low as minus 40 degrees?

Three months later, this is my last @washingtonpost story — delayed because nearly everyone involved in it was laid off. I am very grateful to newsroom friends who made sure it published anyway, and to brave Roman Mongold and his family for their time.
