Max Lederer, the former publisher of the military publication Stars and Stripes, sounds off on the future of the paper under Pete Hegseth after getting fired by the Pentagon. “How can you be transparent if you don’t have the Pentagon’s voice?”

This week, a federal judge declined to stop the Pentagon from dismissing Lederer and two other journalists from the newspaper. The journalists are suing Hegseth, claiming they were retaliated against over negative news coverage and speaking out against press freedom.

Lederer tells Jacob Soboroff their lawsuit will “continue on.”

Following a report by journalist and MS NOW contributor Pablo Torre and subsequent investigation, the NBA is punishing the Los Angeles Clippers for violating salary cap rules for two-time Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard. The league is suspending owner Steve Ballmer for one year, fining the team $30 million and forcing the team to forfeit five first-round draft picks. Torre tells Morning Joe the scheme is “deeper than even I realized” and therefore more undeniable as Ballmer continues to claim his own innocence.
