NPR Exclusive: #Trump White House looking to replace #PeteHegseth as defense secretary

The #WhiteHouse has begun the process of looking for a new leader at the #Pentagon to replace #Hegseth, according to a US official who was not authorized to speak publicly. This comes as Hegseth is AGAIN mired in controversy over sharing #military operational details in a group chat.

Continued thread

It’s not just that #GOP lawmakers are not calling for #PeteHegseth’s ouster (with one notable exception); it’s that they don’t even seem interested in getting to the bottom of the readily apparent discord in the #Pentagon.

And perhaps most tellingly, #Republican elected officials have again shown almost no interest in asserting themselves even as the situation entails one of the gravest issues under their purview, #NationalSecurity.

Continued thread

Sen #RogerWicker (R-MS) rebuked #Hegseth for telegraphing concessions #Ukraine would need to make to end the war. He even suggestively said that #PeteHegseth “wasn’t my choice for the job,” despite voting to confirm him.…

Just >2 months later, though, Hegseth’s mistakes just keep piling up. Yet a Republican congressional contingent that has shown precious little interest in oversight of #Trump & his admin has shown almost no interest in asserting itself in this matter.

Even on the gravest of issues, #GOP can’t summon the will to question #Trump

Just weeks after #Republicans stood by as Trump’s #tariffs threw the #economy into #chaos, they’re doing the same w/ #PeteHegseth & #NationalSecurity.

It took Pete Hegseth just 3 weeks as #defense secy to make what the powerful Republican chairman of the Senate Armed Services Cmte called a “rookie mistake” that left the senator “disturbed.”

NEW: #Republican Congressman Don Bacon, a former Air Force general who now chairs the subcommittee on cyber issues, became the first sitting GOP lawmaker to suggest Trump should fire Secretary of Defense #PeteHegseth:

“I’m not in the White House…but I find it unacceptable, and I wouldn’t tolerate it if I was in charge
#Russia and #China are all over his phone, and for him to be putting secret stuff on his phone is not right. He’s acting like he’s above the law and that shows an amateur person”

Die Empörung über den US-Verteidigungsminister #PeteHegseth ist völlig berechtigt. Doch der brutale, komplett fossil finanzierte Stellvertreterkrieg im #Jemen schwelt schon seit 2004 (!). Und wer weiterhin #fossileGewaltenergien importiert, macht sich an Kriegen, #Verschwörungsmythen und der Zerstörung unserer #Mitwelt mitschuldig. Mit diesen Hinweisen aus der #Wissenschaft werde ich nerven, solange ich kann... scilogs.spektrum.de/natur-des-
