There are no budgetary pressures forcing Hegseth to do this: Congress only recently passed the biggest defence appropriations in US history. Similarly, Hegseth has hardly made the job of running the military any easier or calmer than it used to be.

Hegseth’s 'fatties' purge has peaked. He can't see the incompetent one is him
Trump's Defence Secretary is obsessed with beards, physique and wokery because he can at least understand them. In every other area, he is completely out of his depth

Assuming Collins loses, Murkowski is slated to be the top R on Appropriations, that gives her big incentive to stay with her party & leaves Dems little room for a compelling offer to flip. I think the likeliest world she does is if Republicans skip over her for someone more conservative in that spot

Riders aren't a scandal. They're how appropriations work.

Still astonishing that the paper that camped in Rob Menendez’ house looking for gold bars that the corrupt fuck got from Turkish lobbyists has forgotten about Susan Collins taking a $150k bribe from a defense company and approved a $32 million contract as a member of the appropriations committee
It’s incredibly revealing how the Times published 5 stories about Peltola swearing in front of staffers as though that’s a scandal but published ONE story about Susan Collins taking bribes. Imagine if Susan was a Dem. That’s all you’d read about from page A1 through page XX1488 for the next 30 days
While the New York Times suppresses news about Susan Collins bribery scandal, lost out on Clippers scandal, doesn’t cover right wing religious scams, and focuses on big scandals like <checks notes> Dem candidates swearing in front of their staff
