The White House has begun the process of looking for a new leader at the Pentagon to replace Pete Hegseth, according to a U.S. 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.

The defense secretary is under fire after revelations that he shared classified information in a group chat with his wife, brother and lawyer, according to the official.

    Churning through leaders usually comes right before a business catastrophically implodes. It’s not a good sign for the health of the system.

      Na, it’s been like this in Trump 1. It’s because they realy do not give a fuck about humans, even the ones on their side. They are just pawns to be used and disregarded at will.

      Not to disagree with your point about failing businesses but the context is so different here; the US government is functioning beautifully. Best functioning ever. Nationally, internationally, top marks. Economy, society, technology top marks. Personnel? Amazing, qualified, competent, trustworthy, discerning, strategic, long-term serious brains on these folks. Need I mention the utter rock-solid stability we’ve witnessed? It’s…hard to describe.
