The Army Chief of Staff, a combat veteran with tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, asked Pete Hegseth why he was blocking the promotions of two Black officers and two female officers who had earned them.
Hegseth refused to answer. Then he fired him.
Nine U.S. officials told NBC News that Hegseth has blocked or delayed promotions for more than a dozen Black and female senior officers across all four branches of the military.
Hegseth has now fired or sidelined more than a dozen generals and admirals.
He is an out-of-control, unqualified former TV host and nobody in the Republican Party will say a word about it because they don’t want to make Trump angry.

“Young people, you need to bet on yourself.
If you think you're that good, you don't need a handout. You just allow your work to speak for itself."
Do not ask to be chosen.
Work until you cannot be ignored.
@TheRoot 💯 Some 🇺🇸s will choose to make excuses for his behavior b/c they lack the courage to address racial&or sexist bigotry they choose gaslighting to try to🛑 the changes that still need to happen in 🇺🇸, but like Dawn many 🇺🇸s bout handling business in the spaces it occurs
"The danger with a sick deranged malignant narcissist like Donald Trump is they end up destroying not just themselves but everyone around them. And so, the real question is whether Republicans will finally realize, 'We have to get rid of him too' and 'We have to help the Democrats get rid of him before he destroys us all."

Whoever’s advising @KamalaHarris to make these videos is doing a fantastic job! This is the what the American people need to see and hear right now: a strong leader with a clear contrast to the current administration.
Pope Leo's Easter message:
"Let those who have weapons lay them down! Let those who have the power to unleash wars choose peace! Not a peace imposed by force, but through dialogue! Not with the desire to dominate others, but to encounter them!"
We ride at Dawn. ✊🏾
