I spoke with a number of current and retired admirals yesterday, then checked in with key contacts across the Navy today.
Beyond @HungCao_VA’s big announcements as Acting @SECNAV, several told me the same thing: they’ve brought him small but critical bottlenecks, problems that had languished for years, and watched him personally punch through them, usually without notice or fanfare.
That kind of execution deserves serious weight as the Senate considers his nomination for Secretary of the Navy.
🚨🇺🇸 A Houston mother allegedly shot and killed her 4-year-old daughter just hours after losing custody
Vivian Savella's custody hearing ended Tuesday morning, but the handoff wasn't set until that night, so she went home with the mother who had just lost her.
Police say that mother shot her upstairs while her stepfather and a babysitter sat downstairs, then turned the gun on herself.
The mother is expected to survive, and Vivian's stepfather tried CPR but couldn't save her.
When a court takes a child away from a parent, that child should walk out of the courthouse with the other one, FULL STOP.
Leaving the handoff for later is how kids across this country keep ending up dead in custody fights.

Never rent a car from SIXT. Never. Insanely deceptive app that just charged me hundreds of dollars for features and services it appeared I was declining. Won't allow modification or cancellation.
They just created a sworn enemy. I wrote the book on business travel. Bad move.
@mdrew4nh@MHT_Mayor Rules, laws and the subsequent fines are only applied to tax payers with a checkbook, empty bags are left alone, they have no tribute to relinquish to the state.
@johnkonrad The only reason the French kept hitting us up for fuel, and the Italians for ice cream, the resupply shipping they didn't even have in their own lake, the Mediterranean, logistics is how America wins wars!
@mercoglianos Sal, with all due respect, if the Jones isn't amended, it's gonna get ended.
I want it to stay but if it isn't modernized to reflect the current world Hawaiians and Puerto Ricans live in, it's only a matter of time. As a Californian, I want Texas gas not gas from Asia.
🇨🇺 Cuban military conglomerate GAESA is sitting on $18B in foreign bank accounts!
More cash than the entire foreign reserves of Costa Rica or the Dominican Republic combined.
A Miami Herald investigation just laid it out.
While Cubans deal with constant blackouts and shortages, the regime’s military business empire is stashing massive wealth offshore.
In other words, the documents prove the money exists on GAESA’s own books as liquid assets, sitting in "external or internal financial accounts."
The ACTUAL bank names and locations?
Well, let's say GAESA is known for operating through "opaque" structures. Tracing the exact locations is almost impossible.

The Commandant of the U.S. Merchant Marine just said the quiet part out loud:
Nuclear propulsion IS coming to commercial shipping.
“There is no question.”
The only question is what flag will be flying from the stern when it does.
