“When you have a secretary of defense who is so strongly influenced by someone who thinks only white men are worthy, you now have a Secretary of Defense who is not looking for the best and the brightest across his entire talent pool.”

When the SecDef invites a known Christian Nationalist pastor to stand at his side at a monthly Pentagon prayer meeting, he has knowingly crossed a professional line with both feet

Some of the reasons I adore @kwilliams101.bsky.social: www.military.com/daily-news/i...

The data reflects what those of us who have served alongside women in special operations already knew…women consistently exceed the standards of our most demanding units.

So why does Hegseth need a study again ? 🤔

“They’re doing this now because it is no secret that Secretary Hegseth has a strong desire to marginalize women in the military…(Hegseth) carries his religious views into his professional duties, and his religious views are that women do not lead and men do not submit to women.”

“When Admirals lectured us on judgment and ethics, I could detect the checks and balances in the subtext of their speeches and felt reassured. This is not the message the Secretary of War is sending today. Hegseth’s subtext says something more like: shut up and don’t you dare challenge us.”

ACCESS Act is designed to erode the VA direct care system while pushing more veterans to sub-par care. Sneaky wording hides the true long-term costs. Don't let them dismantle excellent government services for profit.

“These are not “DEI hires,” nor are they the results of actions by “woke generals and DOD officials.” These are immensely talented young people who are driven to contribute to our national security. They just happen to be women.” Appreciate the support @markhertling.Bsky.social

We need every talented leader who is willing to support and defend our nation. We don’t need a new study that marginalizes women who wear the uniform.

From the mind of the brilliant @suefulton.bsky.social @wisci.bsky.social

“‘The only reason to conduct a new study is if you want a different outcome and you’re prepared to skew whatever answers you get to achieve that outcome,’ said Sue Fulton, executive director of Women in the Service Coalition” @wisci.bsky.social www.militarytimes.com/news/your-mi...

Women are now integral to combat arms units, and regardless of Pete Hegseth’s personal insecurities, that is a fact on the ground. @wisci.bsky.social contributed to this article.

I never thought that clearly stating federal law would ever cause the President of the United States to threaten violence against me and Members of Congress. But that’s exactly what Donald Trump did.

Since January 20, judges--some appointed by the President -- have ruled nearly 200 of his orders illegal. Now we have active duty personnel seeking legal advice in the event they are given an unlawful order.

Review of Hegseth memos by @wisci.bsky.social. Net: 1. Will weaken safeguards against misconduct, harassment and assault, hazing, and discrimination - risking the trust and confidence that military troops have in their leaders. ab7fc154-9676-4805-8227-d57562a9b5b8.filesusr.com/ugd/b77811_8...

A political opponent is using Mikie Sherrill's illegally released military record to smear her service. As a 20-year Army veteran & former West Point ethics instructor, Lt Col (Ret.) Casey Moes wants to set the record straight about her honor and integrity. Watch this!

Let’s talk about Healthy Resistance. I spend a good amount of my time talking people down. So here’s my recommendation for staying sane. (1/5) You’re familiar with macronutrients? Great. Use this as a rough model:

Too inexperienced! Yep Too incompetent? Yep Questionable tattoo? For sure yep Thanks @duckworth.senate.gov for always speaking truth @wisci.bsky.social

‘Extremely disturbing and unethical’: new rules allow VA doctors to refuse to treat Democrats, unmarried veterans - & refuse to hire docs based on same criteria www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Our military should be a place where anyone can patriotically serve their country with dignity. I'm proud to stand with @wisci.bsky.social in demanding that the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs do better for our women servicemembers and veterans.

Still thinking about last Thursday. The Veterans for Military Women Press Conference was amazing. #femaleveteran #womenveterans #womensupportingwomen

It's 2025: our Defense Department should stand with these patriots, not belittle them or brush them aside. [2/2]

Proud to stand with @wisci.bsky.social and my fellow veterans this week. Whether at the U.S. Naval Academy, on a Navy ship at sea, or on the ground in Iraq: I saw firsthand how women servicemembers served our country bravely and honorably. I know they had my back, and I had theirs. [1/2]
