“Defense officials are getting anxious about the possibility of the incoming Trump administration firing or not renewing the term of Joint Chiefs Chair Gen. C.Q. Brown, due to perceptions that he is out of step with the president-elect on the Pentagon’s diversity and inclusion programs,” Politico reports. “The Trump administration’s DOD transition team — led by former Veterans Affairs Secretary Robert Wilkie — has yet to officially set foot in the Pentagon since the election was called, owing to the transition team’s refusal so far to accept assistance from the federal government.” “But concern is beginning to bubble up that Brown, who spoke publicly about the challenges of rising through the military as a Black man as Donald Trump urged the Defense Department to crack down on the George Floyd protests in 2020, could be swept out by a president-elect who has promised to make the Pentagon less ‘woke.'”

Election Conspiracy Theories Are for Everyone
Mother Jones, Tuesday - 11/12/2024 - 12:05 PM
In the days following Donald Trump’s clear win, conspiracy theories about how votes were tampered with or how the election was stolen from Kamala Harris have spread on the left, with viral tweets, TikTok videos, and posts on Threads making a chaotic and spotty case alleging a fishy result. “I’m beginning to believe our election was massively hacked,” wrote former journalist and documented conspiracy theorist Wayne Madsen on Threads, neatly pouring every flavor of suspicion into one overfilled bottle.

Rep.-elect Gabe Evans celebrates election victory in razor-close 8th District. But 2026 already looms.
Denver Post, Tuesday - 11/12/2024 - 08:00 AM
No sooner had soon-to-be U. S. Rep. Gabe Evans outlined what drives him in public office — his faith, the U. S. Constitution and the needs of his constituents — than a reporter coyly asked him during a post-election news conference Monday when he planned to start fundraising for his 2026 reelection campaign. While delivered with a smile, the question was deadly serious in a congressional district with such an even partisan split that anything could happen to knock the future incumbent off kilter two years from now, as just happened to Democratic first-term Rep.

Mother Jones, Tuesday - 11/12/2024 - 07:04 AM
In the race for Arizona’s open US Senate seat, Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego has defeated the state’s most vociferous election-denier, Republican Kari Lake. His win gives Democrats 47 Senate seats to the Republicans’ 53. Gallego’s win should not come as a shock if you’ve been paying attention. He had led Lake in polls consistently for the last year, usually running well ahead of the Democratic presidential ticket over the same period.
