Eric Fanning, the head of the Aerospace Industries Association, endorsed Joe Biden for president. Will that create problems for the trade group? politi.co/2ZdolXC via @jacqklimas @politico
@jacqklimas @politico For this story, @jacqklimas spoke to industry officials, lobbyists, staffers and experts. Some worry the endorsement will impact how well Fanning can fight for the industry's priorities with the Trump administration, while others said the endorsement won't have any effect
“I think he should have resigned the minute he made that statement,” one leading defense lobbyist told us. “He completely neutered AIA. The major defense contractors I have talked to are flabbergasted and furious at this move."
A senior Republican defense aide had a very different reaction. "Who the hell cares? Everyone knows he’s a Democrat. It’s not a secret. And frankly, we need a Democrat in that role, because Republicans are good on this stuff. The Democrats have problems."

Not a U.S. ship. Appears to be a Pattani-class offshore patrol vessel belonging to the Royal Thai Navy, which means it was built by China
This is a cutter from the Dutch Caribbean Coast Guard
This is the USS Carl Vinson. But for some reason the image is reversed and it's melting my brain

Remarkable video from Marine Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller calling out senior leaders on Afghanistan. "People are upset because senior leaders let them down, and none of them are raising their hands and accepting accountability or saying 'we messed this up.'"
"Did any of you throw your rank on the table and say ‘hey, it’s a bad idea to evacuate Bagram Airfield, a strategic airbase, before we evacuate everyone.’ Did anyone do that? And when you didn’t think to do that did anyone raise their hand and say ‘we completely messed this up?'"
"Potentially all those people did die in vain if we don't have senior leaders that own up and raise their hand and say 'we did not do this well in the end.'"

NEW TODAY: Progressives line up their own national security recruits for Biden | @BryanDBender @politico politico.com/news/2020/12/1…
@BryanDBender @politico The effort marks a new phase for progressive groups, which have criticized the ties to arms-makers of some Cabinet picks and have also lobbied the Biden-Harris team to enlist a more diverse set of views in building out its national security staff
"This is quite unprecedented. It says there are, in fact, an impressive number of people who could legitimately fill those jobs and question the dominant perspective on foreign policy and national security," Gordon Adams said

SCOOP: Several members of the Defense Business Board were fired on Friday, marking the latest effort by the Trump administration to clean out the Pentagon in the final weeks of the president's term
politico.com/news/2020/12/0…
@laraseligman @dlippman @jacqklimas @politico
"This kind of a move really will weigh heavily in people on the future and their willingness to serve on these outside advisory boards if they're going to be subjected to political loyalty test. It's unprecedented. I'm just saddened," former chair Michael Bayer said
This is the email they received:

"Good morning. If you are receiving this e-mail, your membership on the Defense Business Board has expired or is coming to an end. This e-mail serves as notice that we will be nominating new board members for the board"

🚨🚨🚨SCOOP: The Pentagon’s acting policy chief resigned on Tuesday after falling out of favor with the White House, raising fears of a post-election exodus at the Defense Department politico.com/news/2020/11/1…
@laraseligman @dlippman @POLITICO
The departure of James Anderson, the acting undersecretary of defense for policy, potentially paves the way for Anthony Tata, Trump’s controversial nominee for the top policy job who was pulled from contention due to Islamophobic tweets, to take over the policy shop
After the White House announced his nomination this year, CNN's @KFILE unearthed tweets by Tata calling Obama a “terrorist leader” and referring to Islam as the "most oppressive violent religion I know of"
