It’s been widely reported from concerned officials that Patel’s a risk to national security.
Based on accounts from over two dozen current and former officials,Patel has been accused of erratic behavior stemming from heavy alcohol consumption and paranoia regarding his job security.
Panic Over Firing (April 10): Patel reportedly "freaked out" and called aides to announce he had been fired after he was unable to log into his work computer. It was a technical error, not a termination.
Intoxicated
Unreachability: Members of his security detail reportedly had difficulty waking him on multiple occasions over the past year due to apparent intoxication.
Locked Door Incident: In a separate incident, Patel was unreachable behind locked doors, prompting a request for "breaching equipment"—normally used by SWAT teams—to gain entry.
Rescheduled Meetings: Morning briefings frequently had to be moved to later in the day due to his alcohol-fueled nights.
We continue to see the results of thwarting expertise for loyalty. Great job voters. 
Here’s the economic impact timeline for the Strait of Hormuz selective closure:

1 Week: Immediate global oil price spikes (already reaching $119/barrel in early March).
1 Month: Potential for oil to hit $150–$200/barrel and significant "stagflationary drag" on the U.S., European, and Asian economies.
2+ Months: Likely to trigger a global recession and lift European natural gas prices to more than 100 EUR/MWh

Integrity. Conscience clear. Admiral Holsey informed Hegseth that he had no intention of carrying out an illegal order after forty years of service in the U.S. Navy.
In response to the admiral's stance, Hegseth threatened to strip Holsey of his command.
Less than fifteen minutes later Pete Hegseth received Admiral Alvin Holsey's letter of resignation.
In recent days, members of Congress have reached out to Admiral Holsey requesting him to testify on events surrounding his resignation.
Admiral Holsey has receipts. Admiral Holsey has agreed to testify.
Shutdown ends with an agreement from Repubs that they will hold a vote at a later date — in a GOP controlled senate— whether to extend tax credits for the ACA. Ya, that’ll go well.
Meet Russ Vought, the man pulling the strings. As an author of Project 25 (the thing Trump “never heard of”) he’s head of the most powerful agency in the US — The Office of Management abd Budget. His aim: Turn a secular democracy into a white nationalist Christian theocracy. Here are some bullet points:
- Christian nation: Vought argues that conservatives have been "too focused on religious liberty" and should insist that America is a Christian nation.
- Prioritizing Christian immigrants: He says elected leaders should prioritize Christian immigrants over those of other faiths.
- Criticism of Democrats: He has described the Democratic Party as "increasingly evil" for promoting, of all things, secularism.
- Federal government: He characterizes the federal bureaucracy as "woke and weaponized" and advocates for replacing federal employees with "radical constitutionalists".
