Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is facing explosive questions after reportedly removing nine Navy officers from a promotion list that had already been selected by senior admirals.
According to defense officials speaking to the NYT, three women, and two Black men, were stripped from the list. The final result was a new slate of 22 nominees for one star admiral with no women at all.
Women make up about 21% of the active duty Navy, while racial minorities make up about 38% of active duty sailors.
The move is highly unusual. Pentagon rules say officers are generally removed from promotion lists only for serious concerns involving moral, mental, physical, or professional fitness. Pentagon officials reportedly identified no such failings.
Hegseth has previously blasted military leaders as “foolish,” “reckless” and “woke.” He also defended his interventions by claiming the military needed to correct years of “gender and demographic engineering.”
Only about 5% of eligible officers ever make it through the one star promotion process. Getting selected is supposed to represent excellence, not political approval.

When I called out Trump years ago for being a danger to democracy, a free press, and truth itself, I was accused of making myself the story and showboating. How did things turn out? Trump is all of those things. Tonight, the free press is very much in danger in America. Wake up!
Scott Pelley atood on business, and told those clowns at CBS the truth. He helped make 60 Minutes the respected, high quality show it was before Bari Weiss showed up.
She's RUINED the show.
She's ruined the station.
FUCK @CBS.
I stand with Scott Pelley. 🙏💪🏽
The first thing Bill Pulte did when Trump made him housing director was pull Democrats loan information to manufacture mortgage fraud cases. What do you think he will do as Director of National Intelligence?
The GOP corruption continues!
New reports show that Georgia Republican Brian Kemp spent 13 years unable to sell his lakefront properties.
After becoming governor, buyers suddenly appeared.
Those buyers reportedly had active business before the state and later received contracts, board seats, and legislative wins.
The Republican party is the party of corruption.
Georgia deserves a full investigation.
These are just a few of the reasons that ICE and Geo Group doesn’t want Democratic Representatives and Protesters anywhere near Delaney Hall.They’re being paid billions to house these immigrants and are feeding them maggots and spoiled milk.
Donald Trump cheated on his first wife, who said he raped her, with his second wife, who he cheated on with his third wife, who he cheated on with a playmate and a porn star.
So MAGA can take their performative pearl clutching act about fidelity and fuck all the way off.
