I would like a Secretary of Defense who has read one (1) book on the history of warfare; preferably one that discusses the impact of disease on armies.

Robert Garcia in the House Oversight roundtable on Democratic members not participating:

"This is not a real hearing. It's one that's set up to appear like one. This is a roundtable designed without rules, rights, or accountability...What's happening today, in our opinion, is not real oversight."

Trump expects his Fed chair nominee to cut interest rates. Here's how Kevin Warsh might try to do it.

"Asked during an interview on Fox Business Network if he thought rates would go lower later this year, Trump replied: "When Kevin gets in, I do."

The president has joked that he would sue Warsh if the Fed didn't cut rates sharply."

GALLEGO: Earlier today, you told Sec. Kennedy that Trump never demanded you to cut interest rates. Is that your sworn testimony?

WARSH: That is, senator.

GALLEGO: Okay. Well someone here is lying then. Because Trump confirmed he pressed you on interest rate cuts.

Federal government terminates contracts with Portsmouth Naval Shipyard workers unions An executive order by President Donald Trump ordered union collective bargaining agreements to be terminated across the country.

The Administration just terminated collective bargaining agreements for unions representing Shipyard workers. One union represents more than 300 workers.

This is outrageous.

In its memo terminating the contracts, DoD argued that union activity risks “conflicting” with national defense.

Bullshit!

For those attending the White House Correspondents' Dinner this weekend, a small question:

When you're sitting there at your table, do you think it'll cross your mind that the guest of honor is actively covering up his role in a massive child sex trafficking operation?

They own this. Whatever disasters continue to unfold belong not to the president and his Cabinet alone, but to the entire Republican Party.

It is a profound irony when the nation under attack feels more empathy for the attacker's citizens than the attacking government itself.

Nearly 400 members of our military are wounded and there hasn’t been a single public hearing on the war in Iran.
