Pete Hegseth wanted Eisenhower’s globe in his office. His staff skipped the historians, moved it themselves, and broke it. This is what happens when arrogance replaces competence. Our history, our troops, and the American people deserve better. Op: @bulwarkonline

Obama in Michigan: "He is focused on home renovations. He should be on HGTV! ... He's got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory"
