I'm about to palm my face off.

First this:
The United States will increase military sales to India starting in 2025 and will eventually provide F-35 fighter jets, U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday.
Hey, why not just send them to Beijing via Moscow and eliminate the middlemen? This is absolutely feckless. Fortunately some responsible adults are giving that statement the whole "Well, it's just a proposal to initiate a study and we'll look into it" treatment. Hopefully they can slow walk it for long enough for POTUS to get bored and find another shiny object.

Then this:
All probationary NNSA employees terminated

Word came down this afternoon
That's 300-some people. A sixth of the National Nuclear Security Agency. The people who, among other things, guard warheads being transported and are tasked with keeping the Super Bowl from glowing in the dark like in one of Clancy's later, too-long novels.

But don't worry! This is all in the hands of DOGE, who is running their server with an unsecured database on a service being hosted by one of Elon's broccoli-headed minions like it was Hillary's emails or something.
