Pete Hegseth picked Elon Musk and Palmer Luckey to lead a Pentagon future of war project. It's: -Corrupt! Big Trump donors. -Conflict of interest! Defense contractors who will recommend their products. -Dangerous! Embeds techno-fascists deeper into US defense architecture. My latest, in @ms.now:

Just a reminder: Tillis persuaded the woman Hegseth allegedly raped to come forward with her story, and told her that if she did, it would sink the nomination. She did. At great risk to herself. Tillis then cast the deciding vote for Hegseth. Because he’s a goddamned coward.

Something unprecedented happened during my visit to the Gulf. For the first time in 20 years in Congress, I was denied entry to U.S. military facilities and even meetings with military leaders. An order from Hegseth - that applies to both parties - to hide the cost of the war.

Hard to keep track of just how illegal this all is. DHS quietly updated policies to DELETE people with final deportation orders from databases--even while they are still inside US concentration camps. They also stopped sharing where people are held in phone calls with attorneys or family. #ICEOUT

Immigrants with final deportation orders disappear from ICE detainee locator
The change will make it harder for many families and attorneys to determine where an immigrant is being held after being taken into ICE custody.
