Chat, is it good when an aspiring authoritarian is purging the military leadership to install politically reliable generals (gift: www.nytimes.com/2026/08/28/u...)
Hegseth Blocks Promotions of Four Army Officers as Purge Widens

The turmoil has left a leadership vacuum in the Army at a moment when it is trying to find ways to defend troops against the threat posed by cheap drones.Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is blocking the promotions of four Army officers selected for promotion to one-star rank, a highly unusual move that appears to be targeting officers who worked for generals he does not like, current and former defense officials said.

So far this year Mr. Hegseth has removed at least 45 officers, selected by boards made up of peers, from promotion lists. More than half of those officers have been female or Black.

Mr. Hegseth’s actions appear to violate the rules governing a promotion system that is meant to be apolitical and merit-based.

There are no transgender athletes currently competing in the league, but recent comments from Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham questioning the current rules have sparked intense debate in the US.

The U.S. Senate is expected to vote Thursday morning on an unprecedented move to strip mining prohibitions from an area near the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.

Lawmakers are considering a measure under the Congressional Review Act. If passed and signed by the president, the measure would remove a 20-year ban on mining federal lands in the Superior National Forest put in place under then-President Joe Biden three years ago.

Passage would mark a major victory for Rep. Pete Stauber, who represents northeastern Minnesota, and for Twin Metals, a mining company with plans to establish a copper-nickel mine in the area. The resolution would also bar a future presidential administration from reinstating the ban.
