New meaning to women and children first

Adm. Linda Fagan was relieved of her duties because of "leadership deficiencies, operational failures and inability to advance the strategic objectives of the U.S. Coast Guard," a senior DHS official said in a statement to Axios.

The statement cites the Coast Guard's role in national border security and the fentanyl crisis, as well as shortfalls in recruitment and the guard's implementation of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies.

Former President Biden tapped Fagan, a four-star admiral, to lead the Coast Guard in 2022 after she served as its second-in-command.

Adm. Kevin E. Lunday, who became the branch's vice commandant in June, is now serving as its acting commandant.

Who do they blame?

Meh.  Who needs a Coast Guard anyway?

They'll figure it out

Amid a grinding shutdown of the federal government that has left hundreds of thousands of employees without pay for weeks, President Donald Trump said he “can relate” to their plight.

“I can relate, and I’m sure that the people that are on the receiving end will make adjustments — they always do — and they’ll make adjustments,” he told NBC’s Kelly O’Donnell after she asked, “Can you relate to the pain of federal workers who can’t pay their bills?”

“People understand exactly what’s going on,” Trump continued, contending, without evidence, that “many of those people that won’t be receiving a paycheck, many of those people agree 100 percent with what I’m doing.”

Why isn't the Coast Guard under the Department of Defense?  And why is the Department of Homeland Security funding shut down when the bartering chip is homeland security?

Coast Guard to Trump: FU

After the President announced in a tweet that transgender individuals would not be allowed to serve in the military in “any capacity,” the head of the Coast Guard reached out to all 13 openly transgender Coast Guard personnel and said he would “not break faith” with them.

Commandant Paul Zukunft made these remarks at the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies on Tuesday, CNN reported, describing his call to Lt. Taylor Miller, who is the first openly transitioning member of the Coast Guard.

“I told Taylor I will not turn my back. We have made an investment in you and you have made an investment in the Coast Guard,” Zukunft said. “And I will not break faith.”
