The Defense Department announced plans to stop hiring civilians for tenured faculty positions at U.S. military service academies. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the change would ensure that academies are focused on their “warfighting mission.”

The move marks the latest effort by the Trump administration to exert more control over faculty at service academies.

Jack Smith walked into the Senate, defended his prosecutions, rejected claims that his work was politically motivated, and refused to retreat under threats of prosecution. The hearing became a battle over evidence, power, accountability, and who gets to investigate whom. Smith for the WIN! #Pinks

New survey from the Annenberg Center is out. Less than a quarter of Americans (23%) have a favorable view of RFK Jr. Meanwhile 42% of us have a “very unfavorable” view of him, and many people (40%) are confused about whether he recommends the MMR vaccine. Horrifying stats for an HHS Secretary.

What Jack Smith said today should be on the cover of every newspaper worldwide. It should be the end of Trump. Unfortunately it’s just a Tuesday in the upside down. And like so many other things that should’ve been the end of him, it barely registers at home let alone abroad.
