I respect Tom’s opinions and experience immensely, but it’s sadly like all those columns earnestly written about/to Trump back in the day: it will fall on deaf ears. Tomorrow, next week, or next year, will not be the day Pete Hegseth truly became SecDef. He’s on a literal crusade.

As a boss of mine once told me, it is useful to set benchmarks and expectations, even if you are sadly doubtful they will be met.

Beautifully written. I truly hope he reads it.

Democratic leaders must stop being doormats. Do not compromise, find common ground, or reach across the aisle. Bipartisanship doesn't work with fascists. Fight them at every turn. Sign the petition. Join our cause. Full statement here: www.change.org/WeThePeople-...

Hegseth is only there to take orders from Trump. He is grossly unqualified.

This hit home: "You could well be the last person to speak to the president before he decides to go to war—or considers using nuclear weapons. [...] You are a man of faith, Mr. Secretary. ... And so I’ll close with my sincere wish that the Lord keep you & guide you in the days to come." Thanks.

Thanks for the gift article I implore you to listen to the men and women working for you who have served our nation. Listening is a sign of strength, Mr. Secretary, not weakness. great advice

That would be nice. But remember when people thought that Trump, the first go round, would be changed by the Mantle of the office of President?
