The FBI was about to launch a corruption probe into Republican senator Susan Collins when Trump got into office and nixed it. Did Trump likely do this for legitimate reasons, or was he corruptly making government decisions to defend a senator who belongs to his political party?
Typical MAGA operators were involved.

The guy Hegseth/Trump have in charge of the new tests for military officer promotion doesn’t have the basic experience to know how to judge competence at high officer levels. When speaking about the current process, he says things that are just wrong.
The historical example Hegseth cites as what inspired him was an exercise to test maneuver and communications capability, not as a test for promotions. It was only used to evaluate commanders as a secondary element.
A lot of the things Hegseth says is needed to evaluate high level officers, are already done…he talks as if he is not aware of this. Is he ignorant, or/and is the point to these tests something else?
In justifying the new policy, multiple things Hegseth said about US military history was inaccurate.

Trump’s: attack on the Fed’s independence, forcing respected economic experts to push a bullshit political line, and generally incompetent economic comments and policies…are bad for the rule of law, the economy, and people in general. But, one factor that will determine how bad this is, is whether, after Trump, we see further degradation of the rule of law and more bad economic policies, or whether it gets better.

Russia has been using and preparing grayzone attacks on Europe. Russia recruits people online with money to destroy and disrupt European infrastructure and businesses. Other times, it uses trained agents. They have been doing this A LOT, and in many European countries.

Saudi Arabia’s internal military protecting against internal threats is larger than its military whose primary focus is protecting against external threats. Although, the internal army would likely also fight against foreign threats in a war. This is inefficient for fighting a foreign enemy, but helps prevent coups and internal rebellion.
Saudi Arabia has a military set up to refight Desert Storm with tanks and air power, not one prepared to fight masses of drones and missiles.

Trump’s ICE is deporting people who have lived most of their lives in the US, working legitimate jobs, and sending them to countries where their lives may be in danger, separating them from their families and the lives they have built in the US.
Trump uses economic benefits to bribe African countries into taking US deportees.

‘I want generals like Hitler had’ ~ Donald J Trump…according to his former chief of staff.
“”He commented more than once that, ‘You know, Hitler did some good things, too,'” Kelly recalled to The Times. Kelly said he would usually quash the conversation by saying “nothing (Hitler) did, you could argue, was good,” but that Trump would occasionally bring up the topic again.
In his interview with The Atlantic, Kelly recalled that when Trump raised the idea of needing “German generals,” Kelly would ask if he meant “Bismarck’s generals,” referring to Otto von Bismarck, the former chancellor of the German Reich who oversaw the unification of Germany. “Surely you can’t mean Hitler’s generals,” Kelly recalled asking Trump. To which the former president responded, “Yeah, yeah, Hitler’s generals.””
