A lightweight news hub to help decentralize the fediverse load: mirror and discuss headlines here so the giant instance communities aren’t a single choke-point.

Rules:

  1. Recent news articles only (past 30 days)
  2. Title must match the headline or neutrally describe the content
  3. Avoid duplicates & spam (search before posting; batch minor updates).
  4. Be civil; no hate or personal attacks.
  5. No link shorteners
  6. No entire article in the post body

Is it even possible that a former Fox News host is not capable of being the head of the DoD? Surely this can't be true.

Trump demands loyalty from anyone who works for him, but he'll throw them to the dogs to save his own ass. Mike Lindell, Rudy Giuliani, Scaramucci, Bannon, and plenty of others are no longer part of the inner circle.

Hegseth is getting off easy; He'll probably get a streaming or podcast deal out of this.
