Follow up - How many times per year to visiting dignitaries dive or snorkel around the USS Arizona?
Sean Parnell@SeanParnellASW

This pathetic hit piece against @FBIDirectorKash Patel is why no one trusts the Failing New York Times anymore. At the invitation of Admiral Paparo, Commander of U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, Director Patel led a senior delegation to INDOPACOM to advance joint operations against our adversaries. As part of this engagement, the delegation participated in a similar tour of the USS Arizona. As is standard practice on these visits, their hosts arranged the same Pearl Harbor tour that has been offered for years to senior administration officials across multiple administrations. This is not a new or a one-off event. The Fake News media is simply trying to smear Director Patel’s name any way they can.

Scoop: Julie Davis, the acting US Ambassador in Kyiv, is leaving the State Department having grown frustrated with Trump's dwindling support for Ukraine. Davis's resignation follows that of her predecessor, Bridget Brink, who resigned for similar reasons early last year. W/@christopherjm  as.ft.com/r/1781e555-fad…

Hegseth fired the Chief of Staff of the Army and the Navy Secretary this month, but don’t worry - Kid Rock addressed the force at the Pentagon yesterday.
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth@SecWar

Joined my friend @KidRock — and some of our great @USArmy Apache pilots — for a ride this morning. (More to come on that!) Kid Rock is a patriot and huge supporter of our troops. The War Department is wasting no time celebrating America’s 250th — home of the free because of the brave.

Phelan struggled to get the Navy to increase shipbuilding numbers, one of Trump’s top priorities and had seen some of his key responsibilities stripped away in recent months, two people familiar with the matter told me and @JackDetsch.

BREAKING: Navy Secretary John Phelan is leaving immediately, the Pentagon announced. The departure of Phelan, a businessman tapped to shake up a fleet facing shipbuilding and maintenance problems, comes just over a year into his tenure. w/@JackDetsch politico.com/news/2026/04/2…

It's now been at least 8 hrs since the news of the first downed jet broke. Since then, there has been a SAR effort, reports of another downed aircraft, and reports of U.S. helos taking fire. ...and @CENTCOM, which is usually quite glad to post war footage, has been silent.

WH put Senate Intel Chair Tom Cotton (R-AR) out as a surrogate on FTN the weekend the war began. He described the exception to "no boots on the ground" premise of war as an aircraft being shot down. He said combat search & rescue assets would "no doubt" go in & extract the pilot

More: George was in a meeting today when he got a call from Hegseth delivering the news, a US official said. Another official said senior Army leadership was caught off guard by the announcement that George would be retiring immediately, finding out at the same time as everyone else.

Gen. Chris LaNeve, now poised to take over as Army Chief of Staff, got Trump’s attention in the hours after his inauguration, when LaNeve called into the Commander in Chief’s Ball with his troops from South Korea. “Sir, on behalf of the brave men and women who serve under my command and the thousands of dedicated service members that are part of the joint team in Korea, congratulations on your victory as the 47th President of the United States,” LaNeve said on a video call. “Welcome back, Mr. President.” Trump praised LaNeve, saying, “Is this man central casting or what?” “They’re not going to play games with you. That’s good,” Trump added, according to an official transcript of the event. “I like to see that. Nobody is playing games with that man.” cnn.com/2026/04/02/pol…

“If he really means to pull us out of NATO, I think his presidency will never recover,” Don Bacon tells me of Trump. “Nor will the Republicans be able to field a winning team at national level for several cycles to come.” w/@JackDetsch @victor__jack politico.com/news/2026/04/0…
