Yep.

Amidst growing chaos in Washington over President Donald Trump's withdrawal of U.S. troops from Syria and a looming government shutdown, the President announced via Twitter that Secretary of Defense James Mattis would be leaving the Trump administration.


While the President made the distinction that Secretary Mattis retired, his resignation letter paints a different picture.

The letter indicated that the decision wasn't a retirement at all, but an apparently self-imposed removal, in which Secretary Mattis told the President that he deserved a Secretary of Defense whose views were more aligned with his own. The startling letter even gave Republican Senator Marco Rubio (FL) pause.

Mattis—whose foreign policy and military experience spans decades—was seen as a safeguard against a mercurial President whose diplomatic decisions slough precedent and procedure.

Now, attorney George Conway (husband to Presidential advisor Kellyanne Conway) is pointing out a chilling aspect of Mattis's resignation letter.

Notably, the letter doesn't include even standard cordial praise for the President, bolstering the fear that Mattis's decades of experience have been ignored.

What Mattis didn't say spoke volumes to Americans watching with dread.

Without Mattis to advise the President, Americans are becoming fearful.

And that was just the beginning.The incessant exits of Trump officials have been a running joke since shortly after his inauguration, but a position as vital as the Secretary of Defense being vacated is sending alarm bells throughout the country.

Some are imploring Vice President Mike Pence and remaining cabinet members to invoke the 25th amendment and remove Trump from office.

At this point, it's unlikely that the 25th Amendment would be invoked. The nation will have to find a way to protect itself.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
