In a recent announcement, President Trump has named Christopher C. Miller as the Acting Secretary of Defense following the resignation of Mark Esper. In addition, Trump has designated Acting Service Secretaries to oversee the various branches of the military.This move comes amidst a period of transition and uncertainty within the Department of Defense, as Trump continues to make changes to his administration in the final weeks of his presidency. Miller, who previously served as the Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, brings a wealth of experience in national security and defense policy to his new role.
The designation of Acting Service Secretaries will ensure that each branch of the military has strong leadership in place to address any challenges or threats that may arise. These individuals will work closely with Miller and the rest of the Defense Department leadership to ensure the safety and security of the United States and its allies.
As the country prepares for a new administration to take office in January, the appointment of Miller and the Acting Service Secretaries will help to ensure a smooth transition and continued stability within the Department of Defense. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.

DOD names officials temporarily helming key tech offices as the Pentagon awaits new leadership
Several familiar faces who steered some of the Pentagon’s major technology and cybersecurity efforts over the last few years are operating in senior-level executive roles in acting capacities, as officials wait to see who the Trump administration will appoint to permanently lead key offices, multiple sources told DefenseScoop.
President Donald Trump has nominated former Fox News host Pete Hegseth to serve as defense secretary, and billionaire investor Stephen Feinberg to be deputy SecDef in his second term. Both men need Senate approval. If confirmed, they and the White House will have the option to name new officials or keep on existing staff for certain top Defense Department positions.
In conversations over email this week, sources revealed who is currently functioning in a few of those key roles between now and the arrival of DOD’s new bosses.
“Acting Chief Information Officer is Ms. Leslie Beavers,” a spokesperson told DefenseScoop late Tuesday.
Beavers, who retired from the Air Force as a reserve brigadier general, was tapped as acting CIO in July 2024 after John Sherman’s departure. She previously served as Sherman’s deputy and helped oversee multiple high-stakes, enterprise IT initiatives inside DOD.
A Pentagon spokesperson also confirmed that Gurpreet Bhatia is temporarily serving in dual-hatted roles as acting deputy CIO for cybersecurity and DOD’s chief information security officer. Before working at the Pentagon, Bhatia led the National Security Agency’s engagements with foreign partners, among other senior government roles.
Defense acquisition expert Radha Plumb assumed the role of DOD’s chief digital and artificial intelligence officer in April 2024. In a recent interview ahead of her planned departure from the department, Plumb told DefenseScoop that Principal Deputy CDAO Margie Palmieri was set to serve as the acting chief of the office in the interim until Trump’s pick is named.
Personnel in the CDAO told DefenseScoop Wednesday that the hub is largely operating as if Palmieri is its director this week. Pentagon spokespersons did not confirm that she’s officially leading the organization.
Separately, sources at the Defense Innovation Unit told DefenseScoop this week that former Apple executive Doug Beck continues to head the organization, where he took the helm in April 2023. Historically, “the DIU director is not a politically appointed role,” one official noted.
The Department of Defense (DOD) has announced that several officials will be temporarily helming key technology offices as the Pentagon awaits new leadership.This move comes after the departure of several top officials, including former Chief Information Officer Dana Deasy and former Chief Technology Officer Michael Kratsios. In the interim, acting officials have been appointed to ensure continuity in the department’s technology initiatives.
Among those named to temporary positions are John Sherman, the Principal Deputy Chief Information Officer, who will serve as the Acting Chief Information Officer. Acting Chief Technology Officer is currently unannounced.
The DOD is facing significant challenges in the realm of technology, including cybersecurity threats and the need to modernize its infrastructure. These temporary appointments will help ensure that crucial technology initiatives continue to move forward as the department awaits new leadership.
Stay tuned for updates as the DOD works to fill these key technology positions with permanent appointments.

Trump names acting Defense secretary with Hegseth not yet confirmed
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump has named an acting defense secretary because his choice to lead the Pentagon, Pete Hegseth, has not yet been confirmed by the Senate.
Robert Salesses, deputy director of the Pentagon’s Washington Headquarters Service, will fill in as acting secretary of defense, and three other career Defense Department civilians will be filling in as acting heads of the Army, Navy and Air Force.
To serve in the post s, the incoming Trump administration needed senior executives at the Pentagon who had already been confirmed by the Senate. Salesses is a retired Marine who served in the Gulf War and earned a Bronze Star.
He has been leading the Washington Headquarters Service, which includes all of the capital region support services, including facilities management and the office of general counsel and others that support the military branches and Pentagon leadership.
Hegseth could see his nomination advanced by the Senate Armed Services Committee as early as Monday, but because of the number of nominees that need to be approved, the full Senate may not take up his nomination until later this week.
In addition, Trump has tapped Mark Averill, who was the administrative assistant to Army Secretary Christine Wormuth, to be the acting secretary. A graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, Averill has been a senior career civilian since June 2009.
Terence Emmert, who has been the principal deputy chief technology officer for mission capabilities, will be the acting Navy secretary. He served in the Navy as an aviator and has broad experience in research and testing.
And, Gary Ashworth, who has been working in a temporary position as the assistant secretary for acquisition, will be the acting Air Force secretary. Ashworth spent more than 20 year in the Air Force and headed an acquisition squadron during his final assignment.
Trump, in his inaugural address, indicated some of his earliest executive orders would involve the military, including a potential additional deployment to the U.S.-Mexico border to “finish” construction of the border wall, as well as the elimination of diversity, equity and inclusion training initiatives.
There are currently about 2,500 National Guard and Reserve forces serving on active duty orders at the border. That total does not include Guard troops there under state National Guard deployments. U.S. Northern Command, which is in charge of troops under federal orders at the border, said 2,500 is what it is currently authorized to maintain there.
“The service members provide detection and monitoring, data entry, training, transportation, vehicle maintenance, and warehousing and logistical support for all 12 months. The authorization also includes light rotary wing aviation support for aerial reconnaissance in support of CBP personnel on the ground,” NORTHCOM said in a statement.
The command “is working closely with the Joint Staff and the Department of Defense and stands ready to conduct the homeland defense mission.”
There are no active duty troops working on the border right now, but in limited cases some in leadership posts perform certain command and control functions.
NBC first reported Salesses’ appointment.

Braxton Berrios’ girlfriend Alix Earle names one quirk that she can’t stand
Quirks can be a turning point in a romantic relationship. And on Thursday, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Braxton Berrios’ girlfriend, Alix Earle, specifically named one quirk she cannot stand.
Earle discussed this quirk on the “Hot Mess” podcast and added that her relationship with Berrios would not have been the same had he had this quirk.

“I think about it at times, like Braxton he drinks his water and it’s quiet,” Earle said. (32:21) “But, like some people, it must be like the anatomy, make a really loud noise. And, like for me, I don’t know if I’d be able to date him. Like now, if he started gulping, I wouldn’t break up with him. But, like in the beginning, it would make things different.”
Earle previously made headlines for her views on dealing with trollers on social media. Earle claimed she developed a “thick skin” for trolling, as she has been on social media for so long.
Braxton Berrios’ girlfriend Alix Earle opened up about dealing with social media trolling
As a long-time social media influencer, Alix Earle has faced multiple encounters with social media trolling over the years. However, she has developed a “thick skin” against these trolls. The SI model talked about the same during the Jan. 16th episode of “Hot Mess:”
“I do an interview or someone else posts a video of me or a clip of me and like reading for the first time, people being like, ‘she’s so mid or she’s so this or she’s so that,’ I was like, ‘Oh my God. Oh my God.’ And then I’m realizing like I don’t need to be, like I never claimed.” [25:14]
“That’s what gets in your head because I’m like, ‘Wait, was I supposed to be like Margot fu***ng Robbie? I’m literally this normal girl from New Jersey. I mean, social media is like a whole another piece. It has taught me to definitely have thick skin, that’s for sure.”
Earle was among the Los Angeles residents who left their houses and accommodations due to the recent wildfire. The SI model later recapped her “devastating” experience with emergency evacuation in LA.

#Braxton #Berrios #girlfriend #Alix #Earle #names #quirk #thatshe #standNot picking names out of a hat
FRISCO, Texas – When the Cowboys began this head coach search, prepared to interview the likes of defensive-minded coaches like Robert Saleh and Leslie Frazier and, of course, the name of Kellen Moore was being bandied about, learned there was another candidate.
Someone whose name had not come up on the list of usual suspects.
Then, seemingly out of nowhere, here comes the name catching most by surprise.
And don’t think this is the Cowboys picking a name out of the hat. This has been a possibility ever since the Cowboys and Mike McCarthy could not come to an agreement on the length of a contract extension. Not exactly the consolation potential hire it’s being portrayed to be since Detroit coordinators Ben Johnson has taken the Chicago Bearss head coaching job and Aaron Glenn, as expected, lands with the Jets. And let’s understand, even though there are NFL restrictions on interviews, guarantee you their agents had been negotiating these deals behind the scenes.
Face it. Schotty has coached 25 years in the NFL. Three years in college. These past three seasons here with the Cowboys, adding a 10th NFL stop to his résumé, first as a team consultant in 2021 with an eye toward analyzing the defense, and the last two as the non-play-calling offensive coordinator after McCarthy took on those duties following Moore’s departure in 2023, and remember at the time of that much to Dak Prescott’s chagrin.
So what then makes Schottenheimer a potential appealing choice? Other than being raised by his head coach father Marty Schottenheimer, who was an NFL lifer and head coach for the original Cleveland Browns, Kansas City Chiefs, the then Washington Redskins and San Diego Chargers over 21 years total, not to mention a six-year NFL playing career and 10 more years as an NFL assistant coach. And remember, it was Marty who gave McCarthy his first job as an NFL assistant back in 1993 with the Chiefs when Brian was but 20 years old.
Think about it, the now 51-year-old Schottenheimer spent all but his first few months of his formative years as the son of an NFL coach.
Again, why potentially Schottenheimer, who was in for his second interview on Wednesday?
Remember what pointed out on Friday. No matter who is hired as the Cowboys’ 10th head coach in the franchise’s now 66–year history, then you must tell me who is the offensive coordinator, if indeed it’s not Moore? My guess would be if it’s Brian as the head coach, that answers the coordinator’s job, too, and continuity in an offense that already has changed three times since Dak arrived in 2016 is more than enough. Don’t need a third time in now five years.
And it’s not as if Schotty hasn’t been an offensive coordinator in more than name only previously. Three times in the NFL and one year at the University of Georgia. First, from 2006-11 with the Jets, finishing second in the AFC East four times and third twice, and on top of that qualifying for the playoffs three times and advancing to the AFC Championship Bame twice, losing to the Colts and Steelers. Plus, during that 2009 season, the Jets advanced to the AFC Championship Game with rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez.
From there, Schottenheimer became the St. Louis Rams’ OC under head coach Jeff Fisher (2012-14). There, he was saddled with injury-torn QB Sam Bradford, then the likes of Kellen Clemens, Shaun Hill and Austin Davis, who, by the way, put up 31 points in a 34-31 loss to the playoff-bound Cowboys during the 2014 season, completing 30 of 42 passes for 327 yards, two touchdowns, one pick and a 98.0 QB rating.
Later, it was on to being the OC of the Seattle Seahawks (2018-20) with Russell Wilson as his quarterback, and in 2020 the Seahawks went 12-4, winning the NFC West and scoring a franchise-record 459 points, averaging 28.7 a game while working for Pete Carroll, the third of three playoff appearances during his reign there.
So even though hopscotching around, Schottenheimer has produced success as an offensive coordinator, not to mention taking on rookie quarterback Trevor Lawrence in Jacksonville as the passing game coordinator in Urban Meyer’s lone NFL head coaching season (2-11) before getting fired. And as we know, assistants go down with head coach, and with the Jags hiring Doug Pederson as head coach, he was going to run that offense, but since has been recently fired.
Got to believe Dak is a proponent of Schottenheimer, and don’t forget with the amount of money the Cowboys have invested in Dak, better make sure he’s happy. Always good to have the quarterback in your corner. Seems to have the personality to command the room, judging from how Brian handles his weekly coordinator’s media sessions during these past two seasons.
Hopefully this is completed sooner than later if Schotty is going to get his, uh, shot.
- Now Then DC: That’s right, now the question becomes if the head coach is not a defensive guy, who takes over on the other side of the ball. Does Mike Zimmer want to remain the defensive coordinator, which sure wouldn’t be a bad thing, right? Especially after the defense grew some teeth in the latter part of the season, and considering what Zimm had to say there toward the end, pointing out, “I was just doing things I was uncomfortable with. I had to just do what I had to do. So here was the situation: They were good last year, right? So I came in and I didn’t really want to rock the boat. I probably wasn’t as tough as I typically am. I probably wasn’t as hard-headed about things – about how I wanted to do things – is the best way to say it. I wasn’t, and that’s what I regret the most.” But if Zimm if wants to go on to his ranch in Kentucky and enjoy life, here is a thought for DC, and the guy is available, at least now. How about former Cowboys linebackers coach Matt Eberflus, recently fired as the Bears’ head coach? He has served as the DC and associate head coach at the University of Missouri and in four seasons as the Colts’ DC before getting the job with the Bears. Pretty sharp defensive mind. Problem with the Bears, he’s a defensive-minded coach who couldn’t fix the putrid offense, even with the first pick in the NFL Draft, QB Caleb Williams. Keep Flus in mind.
- No Bones: Too bad John “Bones” Fassel, with contract expiring like the rest of the Cowboys assistant coaches, decided to pick up stakes and take the special teams coordinator position with the Tennessee Titans. A good hand, and my understanding is the Cowboys were working to retain him despite not having made up their minds on the head coach position.
- Reckless History: Now, it’s open season to criticize the Cowboys and owner Jerry Jones, but careful about piling on. Get the facts right about how the Cowboys hired Jason Garrett to initially an unspecified position with an eye toward offensive coordinator back in 2007 before eventually naming Wade Phillips as head coach. So now, 18 years later, for those who weren’t out of their diapers back then, assuming, well, that’s Jerry putting the cart before the horse. Not so. Get this, after Garrett had spent just two years as the Dolphins QB coach under head coach Nick Saban, offers were swirling. Saban wanted to bring Garrett to Alabama, where he bailed from Miami to become the Crimson Tide’s head coach. Former Cowboys assistant Butch Davis was calling for permission to bring Jason to Cleveland with him. Calls came in from the Rams, LSU, North Carolina, and since he was still under contract for another season with the Dolphins, they wanted to extend his three-year contract. Because of that, Dolphins owner Wayne Huizenga refused them all permission to talk with Jason. Except the Cowboys, knowing Jason had played there, lived there all those years. Huizenga did Jones and Jason a favor, told Jerry that week he had a Thursday deadline if he was going to hire Jason. So still not having decided on a head, coach, and did not officially hire Wilson until Feb. 8, the Cowboys met the deadline or else. They hired Garrett on Thursday, Jan. 25, 2007. So stop the rhetoric, and now you know the factual story.
- Short-Handed Shots: On Feb. 15, the Texas Sports Hall of Fame will induct former Cowboys defensive end Ed “Too Tall” Jones as one of eight in the Class of 2025 in Waco, Texas, honoring his 15-year career, matching the second longest in franchise history to only Jason Witten and L.P. Ladouceur (16) … And going into the National Football Foundation Hall of Fame Class of 2025 this year will be former Cowboys defensive back Dennis Thurman and linebacker Darrin Smith … And remember warning the Detroit Lions about the Washington Commanders “charmed existence” this season, well, the charm struck once again in a 31-28 Commanders lead. Facing a fourth-and-2 at the Detroit 5-yard line, lining up to go for the first down and, of all things, the play is stopped: Lions had 12 guys on the field, half the distance and of course Washington scored two plays later to take a commanding 38-28 lead in the 45-31 walloping of the No. 1 seed … So same goes to the Eagles on Sunday … Be, be beware.
And allow me once again to have the last word this week, pertaining to this Cowboys’ head coach search, along with restructuring the coaching staff since all contracts also have expired.
See nothing wrong in this idea of bringing on former Cowboys tight end Jason Witten as an assistant coach in some capacity, giving him a start to a potential NFL coaching career. Great player. Smart player. Knows his football, even if only exhibited coaching on the high school level at Liberty Christian on the TAPPS level in Argyle, Texas, where his two sons have played. Witten the head coach has won back-to-back private school state titles at a school that had three consecutive losing seasons before he arrived in 2022. And he seems itching to break into the NFL.
Hey, if nothing else, Witten can become the “accountability” coach.

How Scarlett Johansson Feels About Her Name’s Newfound Popularity
Does having an outside-the-box name make you feel happily unique or woefully unusual?
Jenna Bush Hager discussed the agony of never finding her name on an item at the airport gift shop with guest co-host Scarlett Johansson Jan. 22 on “Jenna & Friends.”
The name Jenna became more well known in the ‘90s, Jenna said, but growing up, she could never find items with her name on them.
According to the Social Security Administration, the name Jenna was popular in the 1980s and 1990s. It began it’s declining in 2002 and in 2023 it was the 629th most popular baby girl’s name in the US.
Scarlett, on the other hand, was the 948th most popular name for a baby girl in the U.S. in 1992 but it began surging in popularity in 2002, just as Jenna started to decline. From 2015 to 2013, Scarlett stayed in the top 20 baby girls’ names on average. In 2023, it landed at No. 17.
Baby name expert Colleen Slagan tells TODAY.com that after hundreds of chats with baby name clients, the data reflects what she’s hearing.
Jenna “had its moment” and is “quite uncommon” today, she says. On the other hand, “Scarlett was super rare in the ‘80s. It didn’t even rank in the top 1,000. It’s now the 17th most popular name, maybe thanks to Scarlett herself influencing culture!”
But when Johansson was growing up, “there were definitely no Scarletts,” she said.
Scarlett Johansson and husband Colin Jost laugh as they debate on TODAY on Jan. 22.Nathan Congleton / TODAY “And my twin brother, Hunter — certainly there were no Hunters,” Johansson shared. “But a couple of years ago, we were in Montauk out in Long Island and we were at one of those surf shop places, and there were two mini-keychain surfboards. One said Scarlett and then we found Hunter, and I legit think we cried. We did cry a little bit.”
“Did you cry enough to buy them?” Jenna asked.
“Of course we bought them!” Johansson said. “We bought them and we looked at each other and it was like, ‘They see us.’”
“We’re seen!” echoed Jenna with joy. “It was a big moment.”
“It was an overreaction,” Johansson said.
Scarlett Johansson, the talented actress known for her roles in various films such as “Lost in Translation” and “Avengers,” has recently found herself in the spotlight for a different reason – her name’s newfound popularity.In a recent interview, Johansson shared her thoughts on the sudden surge in popularity of the name Scarlett. “It’s definitely been interesting to see my name become more popular in recent years,” she said. “I’ve always loved my name and now it seems like more and more parents are choosing it for their daughters. It’s a bit surreal, but I’m flattered by the trend.”
Johansson went on to express her gratitude for her fans and the support they have shown her throughout her career. “I feel incredibly lucky to have such amazing fans who have supported me and my work over the years,” she said. “Whether it’s through my movies or now through the name Scarlett, I am grateful for all the love and support.”
It’s clear that Johansson is embracing the newfound popularity of her name with grace and humility. With her talent and charm, it’s no wonder that Scarlett has become a top choice for parents looking for a strong and beautiful name for their daughters.

Trump names heads of NLRB, EEOC
This audio is auto-generated. Please let us know if you have feedback.President Donald Trump named Marvin Kaplan head of the National Labor Relations Board and Andrea Lucas acting chair of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, as part of a litany of executive orders issued Monday.
Kaplan replaces Gwynne Wilcox as chair of the NLRB. Wilcox was named head of the agency in December by former President Joe Biden.
Kaplan is the only Republican on the board and his term expires in August. There are also two open seats.
“The President’s announcement is an honor and privilege, and I look forward to serving as Chairman of the National Labor Relations Board,” Kaplan said in a statement.
Before serving on the NLRB, Kaplan worked as chief counsel to the chairman of the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.
Lucas, the sole Republican commissioner at the EEOC, replaces Charlotte Burrows, who has served as chair since 2021. Lucas’ term expires in July.
Prior to her appointment to the EEOC, Lucas was a member of the labor and employment and litigation practice groups of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP.
Both orders were expected as the Trump administration came into office.
President Trump has officially named his picks to lead two key federal agencies: the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).For the NLRB, President Trump has nominated John F. Ring to serve as the new chairman. Ring, a labor lawyer and former NLRB board member, is expected to bring a pro-business stance to the agency, which oversees union elections and investigates unfair labor practices.
At the EEOC, President Trump has tapped Janet Dhillon to serve as chairwoman. Dhillon, a former general counsel for a major retailer, is expected to prioritize reducing the backlog of discrimination complaints and promoting workplace diversity.
Both nominations are subject to Senate confirmation, but if approved, Ring and Dhillon will play crucial roles in shaping labor and employment policy in the Trump administration. Stay tuned for updates on their confirmation hearings and potential impact on workers’ rights.

Jefferies Names Broadcom Inc. (AVGO) Top Pick for 2025, Citing Rapid AI Chip Market Growth and $60B Revenue Potential
We recently compiled a list of the Top 10 AI Stocks on Latest Analyst Ratings and News. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:AVGO) stands against the other AI stocks.
As President Joe Biden nears the end of his term, he is issuing a series of executive orders. In the latest, the President has signed an order to provide federal support to address the massive energy needs of fast-growing advanced artificial intelligence data centers.
READ NOW: Top 10 AI Stocks on Wall Street’s Radar and 15 Important AI News and Ratings on Investors’ Radar
The order will allow federal land owned by the Defense and Energy departments to host gigawatt-scale AI data centers and new clean power facilities. According to Biden, the order will “accelerate the speed at which we build the next generation of AI infrastructure here in America, in a way that enhances economic competitiveness, national security, AI safety, and clean energy”.
According to the order, companies tapping federal land for AI data centers must also purchase an “appropriate share” of American-made semiconductors. These purchases will be decided on a case-by-case basis.
“It’s really vital that we ensure that the AI industry can build out the infrastructure for training and using powerful AI models here in the United States”.
Several known names, including OpenAI Senior Vice President of Global Affairs Chris Lehane, have commended this effort. Lehane also called out for cultivating a robust domestic infrastructure for the growing U.S. artificial intelligence sector.
“So what you get with the Biden administration today is — at least from a signaling perspective — on federal land, trying to short the timeline between when you can get your project shovels in the ground and then the project going forward”.
According to Lehane, the incoming Trump administration sees AI through two lenses — national security and economic security. He hopes that both sides of the coin will amalgamate into a national strategy.
AI Company OpenAI has also recently laid out its vision for artificial intelligence development in the U.S. According to the company, the US needs investment from abroad and supportive regulation to stay ahead of China in the race for nascent technology. In a 15-page document called the “Economic Blueprint”, it said that “Chips, data, and energy are the keys to winning AI” and that the U.S. needs to act now to craft nationwide rules that can help secure its advantage.
