We Still Have No Defense Secretary

Jonathan Bernstein: “We’ve hit another milestone in irresponsible government: May 1 marks four full months during which the U.S. has had only an acting secretary of defense, with no one nominated for the formal position. The previous record was one day. It’s a disgrace. Or, rather, going three weeks with only an acting secretary of homeland security – as Donald Trump’s administration is also currently doing – is a disgrace. We’ve gone way beyond that at the Pentagon.”
