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.

#DefSec has left his personal Signal Chat phone # all over the web.
#Hegseth doesn't even have the common sense of a 3yo - even a 3yo'd know not to leave the front door wide open.
And this is who Trump's entrusted w/the nation's #military & #defense.

‘I’ll hook you up to a f***ing polygraph test,’ a furious #Hegseth told acting chair of the Joint Chief of Staff in a hunt for who leaked to news media reports the #Pentagon invited Elon Musk for a briefing on #China.
#DefSec acts like an abusive spouse. https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/us-politics/hegseth-musk-china-polygraph-test-b2739242.html
#Pentagon in disarray under #Hegseth:
John Ullyot, Trump's top Pentagon spokesperson from 1st & 2nd terms who resigned today, details ‘month from hell’ inside #DoD.
The latest flashpoint: #DefSec's firing of aides under a false pretext of "leaks."

Seems sacrifices members of the military & their families make every day is not enough -
The #military insurance company, #Tricare, is messing with pregnant women's #healthcare.

Adam Schiff to Jen Psaki (in for Lawrence O'Donnell):
What's going to happen now is the Houthi's are going to reverse engineer this event, try to figure out sources & methods: find out how DoD knew the target was at his girlfriend's place, if it was a human source, who that might've been...#DefSec et al compromised not just this operation, they've potentially compromised future operations as well.
bring you to a foregone conclusion favoring #DefSec et al.
What ACTUALLY happened was #DefSec, #POTUS et al dodged a bloody bullet & the outsider they "accidentally" included is an upstanding journo who didn't reveal publicly what he believed, on the basis of his wide experience, was secret info that'd compromise a military op.
This does NOT mean it was OK - or is now - to break natl security protocol, use an unclassified comms system in an unsecured setting w/your mobile to communicate.

Since #DefSec & #POTUS have declared the Signal chat messaging thread abt the #Houthi air strike does not contain classified info, The Atlantic has decided to publish the war plans in that thread: https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2025/03/signal-group-chat-attack-plans-hegseth-goldberg/682176/
Then #PressSec says the public should decide for THEMSELVES how to evaluate the Signal text thread "based on the success of the operation."
So, yeah, you can decide for yourself IF you decide to follow her instrux to limit your consideration to her parameters designed to

Rep Maria Elvira Sanchez (R-FL27) to Boris Sanchez/#CNN in re massive #security failure by #DefSec Hegseth et al:
The #Houthi assault was successful. Everyone makes a mistake and they deserve a 2nd chance.
Blah blah blah Yadda Yadda Yadda
Yeah. Well, a whole lotta ppl aren't willing to trust these bozos with anything now & def do not agree.
‘Oh for God’s Sake’
Brit Hume - #DefSec Hegseth's frmr colleague on Fox - can’t believe Pete Hegseth tried to deny airstrike plans were leaked or even discussed
“Oh for God’s sake, the administration has already confirmed the authenticity of the message”
And I'm guessing Brit Hume, in a position to know, has had it just about up to here w/ Hegseth's BS.
#Pentagon purge of 24,000+ articles from its websites in response to #DefSec #Hegseth's orders to delete anything deemed #DEI-related have nothing to do with DEI and instead include content on #HolocaustRemembrance, #SexualAssault and suicide prevention.

Judge forced to pause trial b/c Trump's #DOJ lawyers so unprepared, had not even read any of the 3 reports #DefSec #Hegseth cited in his ban on #transgender military service that they were defending.
https://newrepublic.com/post/192657/judge-military-trans-ban-trial-lawyers-incompetence
Incompetence & professional sloppiness have become hallmarks of Trump's administration.
Trump's #DefSec #Hegseth says #Pentagon 'does not do climate change crap,' doubling down on ignorance, his cluelessness on full display by disregarding #ClimateChange's role in global conflict.
Not to mention human survivability in general.

Not sure that the Untied Kingdom will row back on its AUKUS nuclear submarine partnership with Australia in favour of Europe as a result of #TraitorTrump's siding with Putin rather than the West.
UK will need new nuclear boats to counter Putin's Russia as much as Oz will need them to counter Xi's China, and both countries will continue to benefit from collaboration (especially when #Trump withdraws our nuclear security clearances).
