Hegseth Built a New Pentagon Office for Religion. Military Religious Leaders Wish He Hadn't.

Hegseth Built a New Pentagon Office for Religion. Military Religious Leaders Wish He Hadn't. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has extended a line for the military's religious leaders to reach him directly -- and current and former military chaplains say they don't want it. Hegseth announced the creation of a new Office of Religious Affairs on September 30, vowing that the office would give members of the armed forces' chaplain corps access to him without "bureaucratic dilution." It coincides with his openly Christian "Send Me" campaign, an online propaganda effort that the Pentagon launched over the summer promoting a biblical phrase widely understood as a vow to accept a divine mission.

The Intercept Live in Conversation With Robert Reich

The Intercept Live in Conversation With Robert Reich Democrats may be ahead in the polls. But can they withstand billions in campaign spending by Elon Musk and other MAGA oligarchs?
