#hegseth

Hegseth and Miller and Co. are low hanging fruit. I said we'd win big and there would be a lot of Republican defections. These fleeing rats may not be willing to vote to impeach Trump but going after Cabinet members is easy. And these people want "revenge" for the election losses they themselves helped cause. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/pete-hegseth-impeachment-congress-iran-midterms-b3081797.html#GOP #Republicans #Hegseth

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social Tu parles 5 langues. Est-ce que c'est mon oreille de francophone, mais #Hegseth rime avec exit ?

From what I am seeing from DC resisters, Trump has stopped throwing ketchup long enough to attempt to lash out violently. He's having #Hegseth bring in more National Guard and a bunch of new weapons and vehicles into #WashingtonDC. The #NoKings movement was expecting this and preparing, although at this point #Trump can't do much. The regime is already at the stage of resignations, defections and the circular firing squad. This was ordered October 29th...

I've been watching Lauren Boebert's race in CO-04 like a hawk for certification. I don't want to celebrate until it's done and dusted, and I would certainly expect the dumb bitch to want a recount. It's not like she has any way to make money if she can't live off the public. But it looks like her opponent, a female Navy admiral fired by Hegseth for being female and smarter than he is, will win. And that will mean TWO female #Navy admirals fired by #Hegseth serving in Congress. Woot woot!

Via FactPost News, the US and military branch flags fell to the ground right before Hegseth addressed ROTC cadets at U Tennessee Knoxville. #Hegseth #military

You know what I think happened? The ghost of Eisenhower went poltergeist on these Nazi mofos. They would gave fucked it up anyway, I'm sure, but I am picturing heavy objects flying around the room while the Nazis retreated in panic like the last time Ike threw hands. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/hegseth-staff-damaged-historic-wwii-era-eisenhower-globe-trying-move-o-rcna605123#hegseth

From WSJ: "Musk Ordered #Starlink Slowdown That Blindsided #Ukraine." https://www.wsj.com/world/ukraine-starlink-elon-musk-trump-dbc49193 (#paywalled)

Now waiting for reporters to ask #Trump and #Hegseth whether they gave #Musk a surreptitious green light, and if not, why the US military pays for a "military-grade version of Starlink" (i.e. #Starshield) that a civilian can turn off at will, and what charges the US might bring against a civilian who did so.

Three possible charges:

1. Interference with the Operation of a Satellite (18 USC § 1367)
2. Violation of the Logan Act (18 USC § 953)
3. Breach of defense procurement contracts

#Defense Secretary #PeteHegseth told #Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei on Tuesday that if Anthropic does not allow its #AI model to be used “for all lawful purposes” [as if that’s what they plan to use it for], the #Pentagon would cancel Anthropic’s $200 million contract. In addition to the #contract cancellation, Anthropic would be deemed a “supply chain risk,” a classification normally reserved for companies connected to foreign adversaries, #Hegseth said. #Trump #law #privacy #InfoSec #ContractLaw

#Anthropic said in a statement that the #Pentagon’s new language was framed as a compromise but “was paired with legalese that would allow those safeguards to be disregarded at will.” [shocker] In a lengthy blog post Thursday, Amodei wrote: “I believe deeply in the existential importance of using #AI to defend the #UnitedStates & other democracies, & to defeat our autocratic adversaries.” #Trump #Hegseth #law #privacy #InfoSec #ContractLaw #military #surveillance #democracy

Amodei said #Anthropic understands that the #Pentagon, “not private companies, makes #military decisions.” But “in a narrow set of cases, we believe #AI can undermine, rather than defend, democratic values.” In the case of mass #surveillance & #AutonomousWeapons are “outside the bounds of what today’s technology can safely & reliably do.” #Trump #Hegseth #law #privacy #InfoSec #ContractLaw #democracy

Trump's decision stopped short of #threats issued by #Hegseth & the #Pentagon, including that it could invoke the Defense Production Act to require Anthropic's compliance. The Pentagon had also said it considered designating #Anthropic a #SupplyChain risk, a step previously only used against businesses tied to foreign adversaries. But #Trump vowed further action if Anthropic did not cooperate with the phaseout. #law #AI #surveillance #AutonomousWeapons #privacy #security #InfoSec

So much for holding back. GMAFB. #Pentagon declares #Anthropic a threat to #NationalSecurity #Defense Secretary Pete #Hegseth declared Anthropic a “#SupplyChainRisk,” blocking all federal agencies & contractors from doing business with the company. #Trump #RevengePolitics #law #AI #tech #surveillance #AutonomousWeapons #privacy #security #InfoSec #military

Late Friday, #Defense Secy Pete #Hegseth followed #Trump’s unhinged post, saying in his own post that he was declaring #Anthropic a #SupplyChainRisk. “Effective immediately, no contractor, supplier, or partner that does business with the United States military may conduct any commercial activity with Anthropic,” Hegseth wrote. #RevengePolitics #law #AI #tech #surveillance #AutonomousWeapons #privacy #security #InfoSec #military

#Anthropic said it would fight the blacklisting in court. In a blog post late Friday, the company said that it believed the wide-reaching ban #Hegseth described was not permitted by federal #law & that the designation of the company as a #SupplyChainRisk was “legally unsound.” [pretty good bet] #Trump #RevengePolitics #law #AI #tech #surveillance #AutonomousWeapons #privacy #security #InfoSec #military

…The #SupplyChainRisk designation issued by #Hegseth late Friday was an extraordinary escalation, ranking a leading #US #AI company alongside the likes of Chinese & Russian firms seen as a danger to the #UnitedStates. It was unclear how easy it would be for government departments to move away from #Anthropic’s #technology, or for the company’s partners that do business with the #Pentagon to cut ties. #Trump #RevengePolitics #law #surveillance #AutonomousWeapons #privacy #security #military

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social A mobile at your execution is rightly seen as an intrusion! An iPhone can't show your blood's perfect glow. When Pete films there is no dilution! #limerick #alexpretti #reneegood #ice #hegseth

It looks like impeaching Hegseth is a unifying theme after a Blue Wave - at least as a start! https://www.semafor.com/article/10/09/2026/democrats-unite-around-hegseth-impeachment-push #bluewave #uspol #democracy #hegseth
