Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is now fighting for his job leading the U.S. military after the second scandal in which he allegedly mishandled classified information in as many months. And the Washington Post's Aaron Blake is exploring why Congressional Republicans seem hesitant to hold him accountable. On Tuesday, Blake pointed out no Republican elected officials -- save for Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) -- have so far called for Hegseth to resign or be fired. This is despite the former part-time Fox News weekend host being accused of using his personal, unsecured device to share highly sensitive attack plans with his wife, Jennifer Rauchet and his attorney, Tim Parlatore. This came just a month after Hegseth shared separate attack plans on a group text thread that included a journalist who was mistakenly added by National Security Advisor Mike Waltz.

"Rob Kall's book is amazing. He's created a real breakthrough, visionary how-to for a sustainable, quality future. Like Saul Alinski's Rules for Radicals, this book is destined to become a classic must-read for all those concerned with social, economic, and environmental justice in today's interconnected world. Story shapes the world and our world needs new stories if we are to survive and thrive. The story of the bottom-up evolution and revolution is one that can change individuals, groups, businesses, religions, and governments for the positive as it shows how bottom-up inclusiveness, connectedness, collaboration, empathy, innovation, and freeform creativity can help unleash the great potentials for good inherent in our very nature. If you want to improve things in your world and the world, first read this book, then apply the suggestions. Change is sure to come."

Pamela Jaye Smith, mythologist and author of InnerDrives, Power of the Dark Side, Symbols* Images* Codes* and award-winning writer-producer-director
