No mention of @SecDef having meetings with @SecKennedy, @SpeakerJohnson and members of Congress. The visit to the Naval Academy was not listed on the daily schedule. And no comment regarding the Pentagon IG’s investigation into the secretary’s use of Signal. #Transparency

To the American Warfighter and the American taxpayer, this is what happened this week. https://t.co/NNin3PD810

What did @SecDef and @SecKennedy discuss? How long was Kennedy at the Pentagon? Will MALA (Make America Lethal Again?) be a slogan for the Pentagon moving forward?

MAHA X MALA

In order to be transparent, will the @DeptofDefense release these findings for people to see?
