Very good to see this from Senator Reed.
"If these reports are accurate, Secretary Hegseth’s decision to remove four decorated officers from a promotion list after having been selected by their peers for their merit and performance is not only outrageous, it would be illegal."
2/ Senator Reed:
"These are currently allegations, but they fit a pattern .... He has fired or sidelined dozens of generals and admirals without explanation, the majority of whom are women or persons of color. Today, every service chief and nearly every combatant commander is a white man."
I served in the Pentagon.
Surely, surely Chairs and Ranking Members of Senate and House Armed Services Committees will take action here.
What's reported here is a gross stain on America and damaging to the armed services.
It also fits a pattern with SecDef Hegseth.
Have we no shame.

Absolutely most important question on this list:
"Under what circumstances specifically do you believe the DOD could engage in surveillance of Americans? What potential use cases for AI does it believe would be lawful..."
Read what Anthropic said DoD mass surveillance of Americans would entail.

Experts share questions Congress, journalists, and the public should ask executive branch officials on surveillance authorities.

The Department of Veterans’ Affairs re-terminated its collective bargaining agreement despite a court order blocking the agency from taking that action.
Definitive, most comprehensive study of court cases involving Trump administration and the basis for courts no longer giving a "presumption of regularity."
Four Army officers were on track to become one-star generals, NPR confirms. Defense secretary Pete Hegseth's involvement in the promotion process is highly unusual.
