Marcy Wheeler on Pete Hegseth, the military trans ban, and honesty and integrity

posted by Kristi Wachter on

Marcy Wheeler at Empty Wheel contrasts the administration's false claims that trans service members lack honesty and integrity with Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's lies and refusal to accept responsibility for his illegal actions which put national security at risk.

Pete Hegseth is lying about how dangerous his actions were. In doing so, he’s putting his career above those doing the riskiest work.

And all the while he’s slandering others about lacking honesty, integrity, and humility.

 

Wheeler helpfully includes links to the court dockets, court opinions, and temporary restraining orders she cites.

Take Action

You can make a difference.

It's okay to start small.

Action is the antidote to fear and despair.

Even doing small things - learning more about how we can strengthen our democracy, sharing what you know with others, making a phone call - can make a difference.

Right now is a great time to take action.
