Concerns are mounting over Trump’s pick to lead the Pentagon, Fox News host and military veteran Pete Hegseth. CBS News reports that Hegseth was one of 12 National Guard members who were removed as guards for President Biden’s 2021 inauguration over possible extremist ties. Hegseth has tattoos associated with the white supremacist and neo-Nazi movements, including what’s known as a Jerusalem cross, a symbol used by Christian nationalists.
In related news, the government watchdog Accountable.US announced it’s launching a “Trump Accountability War Room” to monitor Trump’s appointments and executive actions as he takes up his second term.

I think “Is this guy literally a Nazi” is a pretty important policy question…
It’s OK. Some guy with a name like “The4th” says he’s not a Nazi. The Fourth what now?
Of July?
Yeah, at this point in the game the Fascists have fully co-opted patriotism. If you’re proud of America right now, you’re a Nazi. 7/4 and 1776 are in the same category as 1488 these days. Patriotism is complacency in the face of violent Nationalism.
