#Trump told allies that he was unhappy w/the press coverage but…he did not want to be seen as caving to [the] media….& he said he was reluctant to fire people in snr ranks so early in his 2nd term.

But…the real problem did not appear to be his #NationalSecurity adviser’s carelessness about discussing #military plans on a commercial app….It was that #MikeWaltz may have had some kind of connection to #JeffreyGoldberg, a… #journalist whom Trump loathes…[because] Waltz had Goldberg’s number….

#Columbia announced Dr. Armstrong’s departure & Shipman’s appointment in an email to the campus community Fri night. The letter thanked Armstrong for her efforts during “a time of great uncertainty for the university” & said Shipman has “a clear understanding of the serious challenges facing our community.”

Shipman, a #journalist w/2 degrees from Columbia, was named acting president & assumed the top job at … an extraordinarily charged moment in American higher #education.

Anyone stupid enough to use a messaging app to discuss defence secrets should be sacked immediately. Taking into account his level of incompetence, calling Hegseth “pathetic” would be a compliment. America would be better off if the Marx Brothers were in charge…

The world seems stunned by the US security scandal, but Hegseth and the pro-Trump news channels are rushing to deny it. When the reporter comes under fire as a hoaxer and screenshots of the chat leak out in his defence, I wouldn’t like to be in Trump’s position.
