"But remaking the JAG Corps is a priority for #Hegseth, who on Friday commissioned his personal lawyer and former naval officer Tim #Parlatore as a #Navy #Commander to oversee the effort carrying the weight and authority of the #Defense #Secretary’s office."

I see we've reached the "give the hatchetmen shiny uniforms" phase of operations.

Take action today: Send a message to the #Senate to reject Linda McMahon’s nomination for #Secretary of Education! click.actionnetwork.org/ss/c/u

actionnetwork.orgTell the Senate: Don’t Let Linda McMahon become Secretary of Education >> The future of the Department of Education, and the millions of students who depend on this agency, is at risk. Donald Trump announced Linda McMahon as his pick to lead the Department of Education…an agency that he has also sworn to eliminate. Linda McMahon is a billionaire who has expressed her desire to defund public schools and privatize our education system. She would no doubt continue the trend of book bans, undo Title IX protections for transgender students, and eradicate diversity, equity, and inclusion programs. Beyond these destructive impulses, McMahon has no particular background in Education. The Department of Education plays a critical role, not merely in providing funding for education and setting standards for student loans, but in tracking achievement gaps and working to ensure that every student has the opportunity to learn. If McMahon is confirmed as Secretary of Education, it would have serious repercussions for millions of young people and future generations seeking higher education. We could see schools close, tuition rise, and student debt continue to climb. Sign and tell your Senators to OPPOSE McMahon as Education Secretary! >

Trump is expected to name Senator #Marco #Rubio of Florida as his #secretary #of #state,
as Mr. Trump moves rapidly to fill out his foreign policy and national security team.

Trump could still change his mind at the last minute, but appeared to have settled on Mr. Rubio, whom he also considered when choosing his running mate this year.

Mr. Rubio was elected to the Senate in 2010, and has staked out a position as a foreign policy hawk, taking hard lines on China and Iran in particular.

He initially found himself at odds with those Republicans who were more skeptical about interventions abroad,
but he has also echoed Mr. Trump more recently on issues like Russia’s war against Ukraine,
saying that the conflict has reached a stalemate and “needs to be brought to a conclusion.”

“[…] You think of him for science and rockets. And every time I think he’s telling me about a new #screw that was developed, he’s developed a new screw — screws are difficult — and it’s made out of titanium, and it’s so exciting. But you know what? He’s a great business guy, and he’s a great #costcutter. You’ve seen that. And he said ‘I could cut costs without affecting anybody.’”
