Hegseth's actions reflect a broader agenda to reshape the military's leadership, prioritizing loyalty to his political beliefs over military experience and competence.

Trump's removal of Attorney General Pam Bondi illustrates his growing frustration with his inability to implement his agenda, particularly regarding the Epstein case.

The letter condemned the US-Israeli military strikes on Iran as a violation of the United Nations Charter and potentially amounting to war crimes, emphasizing that force against another state is only permitted in self-defense or with UN Security Council authorization.

Moulton posted to X about speculation over the missing crew member, stating, 'Their safety is unknown. They could be your neighbor, a friend, a family member. And people are betting on whether or not they'll be saved. This is DISGUSTING.'

Hegseth summoned Amodei and demanded that Anthropic AI be used any way he wants or said he'd cancel the company's existing $200 million contract and blacklist them from any further AI pacts. Hegseth gave Anthropic until 5 p.m. yesterday to bend the knee. Amodel didn't bend.

Hegseth announced last Monday that he censured Kelly over the former Navy pilot's participation in a video that called on troops to resist unlawful orders.
