Trump fired Linda Fagan, the first female Coast Guard commandant, on his second day in office. A Trump official told her she had three hours to leave her house on Tuesday.

Summary

Trump evicted former Coast Guard Commandant Linda Fagan from her military housing with just three hours’ notice, despite an earlier 60-day waiver.

Fagan, the first woman to lead a military branch, was dismissed on Trump’s second day in office over concerns about DEI policies and border security.

Homeland Security officials cited her termination as justification, though sources called it a “petty” move.

Fagan was forced to leave most belongings behind, spending the night with friends while awaiting relocation of her personal items.

    Good is a stretch for politicians. We have to keep voting for better until we at least get back to “mediocre”.
