The last 4 U.S. Transportation Secretaries were:

- A small-city mayor

- Mitch McConnell's wife

- A McKinsey consultant/smalltown mayor

- An MTV Real World star

Maybe it's time to put someone in the job who has some actual safety experience? Or nah?

BREAKING: Ivanka Trump suffers the consequences of her father's sexist agenda as MAGA Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth terminates her signature "Women, Peace and Security program" for being too "woke."

And it gets even more embarrassing...

"This morning, I proudly ENDED the 'Women, Peace & Security' (WPS) program inside the @DeptofDefense. WPS is yet another woke divisive/social justice/Biden initiative that overburdens our commanders and troops — distracting from our core task: WAR-FIGHTING," Hegseth posted.

He went on to smear WPS as a United Nations program that was "pushed by feminists and left-wing activists," claiming that "politicians fawn over it" while "troops HATE it."

"GOOD RIDDANCE WPS!" he added.

In reality, the program was enacted in 2017 by Trump when he signed the Women, Peace and Security Act. His campaign later celebrated the program to woo female voters.

It was championed by Ivanka and then-Senator Marco Rubio. Ivanka again lauded it in 2019, saying that she was "proud to announce" that Colombia would be developing a WPS National Action Plan.

Earlier this month, Rubio celebrated the initiative, calling it a "bill that I was very proud to have been a co-sponsor of when I was in the Senate."

It appears that Hegseth — an alleged alcoholic who rarely seems to be thinking straight — failed to realize that WPS was a Trump-created and Ivanka-backed program rather than a Biden-created one.

Hegseth pathetically attempted to backtrack on his first tweet with a followup post two hours later, writing that the Biden administration "distorted & weaponized the straight-forward & security-focused WPS initiative launched in 2017.

"So—yes—we are ending the 'woke divisive/social justice/Biden (WPS) initiative.' Biden ruined EVERYTHING, including 'Women, Peace & Security,'" he concluded.

As is to be expected from a MAGA hack, Hegseth provided no evidence for his claim that President Biden corrupted the program. In all likelihood, he eliminated the program and then realized that it wasn't a product of the Biden administration.

This guy is a booze-fueled mess who shouldn't be trusted to tie his own shoes in the morning, let alone run the Pentagon.

Please retweet and ❤️ if you think that Pete Hegseth is a disaster — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth — which is only making Tribel grow even faster.

Let’s just say it’s unusual for progressives to bring out over 20,000 people in Utah, one of the reddest states in the country, on a Sunday night not even in an election year.

And just like that... I finished my 12th newsletter! 🥳

For someone who once thought ‘grammar’ was just the another name for grandma’, this is a big deal. 😅

English is my second language, and I used to struggle with writing. Seriously, my emails looked like autocorrect went rogue. So, I invested in a writing course, learned how to format my thoughts, create hook lines, and now I can actually write a sentence that makes sense.🙌thanks
@dickiebush

What’s even crazier? My newsletter is on a mission to help 1,000 people across the U.S. get access to the WIOA grant. 🎯

And this grant? It’s like hitting the career lottery jackpot... except instead of cash, it pays for your trade or vocational school tuition. 💼💰🎓

So far, 101 people have taken the leap and started their journey. 101 people who thought, ‘Hmm, free education, maybe I should actually do something about that!’ 🤔

Now, I’m not saying I have a crystal ball, but something tells me 1000 is just around the corner. 👀 If you or someone you know could use a little help in not paying for school, come join over 550 of us here:

👉 https://t.co/LAJYzJDh05

PS: If I can go from struggling to finish a text without typos to writing newsletters... you can definitely get this grant.
