The Trump administration has fired a top Navy admiral assigned to NATO headquarters in Brussels, people familiar with the matter said Monday, the latest ouster in an ongoing purge of senior military officers that has disproportionately targeted women.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth denied that he sent “war plans” to colleagues ahead of a U.S. assault on Houthi militants in Yemen and instead attacked Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor of the Atlantic — who was included in the group chat on Signal — calling him “deceitful and highly discredited.”
