   Via Jennifer Griffin on #ClusterFox, via Acyn:

   Griffin: Secretary #Hegseth has decided to immediately pull General Milley's security detail. Hegseth also ordered the new acting inspector general to conduct a review board to potentially strip General Milley of a star in retirement.. All highly unusual actions.

   • Steve's Place repeated this.

     If Gen. Milley is injured or killed, that's on Pete Hegseth and whomever in the White House ordered him to yank his security detail.

     Yanking a star in retirement is another one of those things that Trump would do, in violation of law, process, and good order and discipline. All of which outcomes Trump manifestly intends.

     @GottaLaff @dangillmor @20002ist I'm constantly curious, given what we know and what we continually find out to our disappointment about these outlets, that there doesn't seem to be any interest in someone starting one up that doesn't play into those hands.

     @dangillmor Yes, I read several there, knowing about what you brought up. Joyce Vance is one of them, and I don't want to give her posts up, among others'.

     I quit all Meta, but sadly, to read even my own radio host's posts, I have to go to Substack.

     @20002ist An especially unfortunate choice. @GottaLaff

     @GottaLaff Your link to the the Michael Waldman piece also made me a little ill, because yet another worthy organization is lazily using Substack and thereby supporting Trumpists (undoubtedly without realizing it).

     @dangillmor @GottaLaff Even Paul Krugman is on the ‘stack.

     @dangillmor 100% that. My very first thought.

     I did not realize that. (Altho I don't use Substack myself, I do read people who post on Substack.)
