During the #Biden admin, the #US military & #NATO had both started to treat #GlobalWarming in the Arctic as a matter of real #military concern. Whether that will continue under #Trump is an open question [is it?]. Even as Trump has tried to erase US-govt action on #ClimateChange, when he talks about #Greenland, he’s tacitly acknowledging that rising temperatures are rapidly changing that part of the world—& US interests there.
How could anyone trust someone trying to outdo his boss's combover?

It’s not the #hypocrisy that bothers me; it’s the #stupidity. We’re all shocked—shocked!—that Pres Trump & his team don’t actually care about protecting #classified info or federal record retention laws. But we knew that already. What’s much worse is that top #Trump admin ofcls put our troops in jeopardy by sharing #military plans on a commercial messaging app & unwittingly invited a journalist….That’s dangerous. And it’s just dumb.

Steve Schmidt:
Seth Moulton Calls Out Pete Hegseth and U.S. Leadership Failures
“Lead by example; every private in the Marine Corps knows the same thing that every seaman in the Navy knows...
They all know that the greatest dipshit in the US military...a man who is unfit, mentally, morally; a man who is the poster child of what not to be...that their officers try to instill into all of them; do not be like this person, is their leader.”

#Trump’s instructions to his team late this week remained to attack #JeffreyGoldberg & #TheAtlantic, & not “produce a scalp” by firing any members of his Cabinet, in the words of one outside adviser consulted by the White House who described the discussions to us.

“Any evidence that such service over the past 4 years harmed any of the #military's inarguably critical aims would be front & center. But there is none.”
“…The Court therefore enjoins the Military Ban & #Hegseth Policy on a nationwide basis.
“…Absent an injunction, all #transgender service members are likely to suffer the irreparable harm of losing the military service career they have chosen, while otherwise qualified accession plaintiffs will lose the opportunity to serve.”

“The govt's arguments are not persuasive, & it is not an especially close question…. The govt's unrelenting reliance on deference to #military judgment is unjustified in the absence of any evidence supporting 'the military's' new judgment reflected in the [#transgender] Military Ban—in its equally considered & unquestionable judgment, that very same military had only the week before permitted active-duty plaintiffs (& some thousands of others) to serve openly.
Continued thread
Another federal judge, this time from the US Dist Court for the Western District Of Washington at Tacoma, barred the #military from enforcing the ban on #transgender service members.
“all defendants ARE PRELIMINARILY ENJOINED, pending further order of this Court, from implementing the Military Ban….This includes the #Hegseth Policy… & all other memoranda, guidance, policies, or actions issued or forthcoming implementing the Military Ban or the Hegseth Policy.”
