Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid Footage obtained by The Handbasketโ€™s lawsuit shows a hostile takeover on March 17, 2025.

SCOOP โ€” Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.

Democrats slam Hegseth for comments on first US deaths in Iran war Hegseth accused the press of focusing on the fallen soldiers to make the president โ€œlook bad.โ€

โ€œSix brave Americans lost their lives in uniform. Their sacrifice deserves honor. Instead, the Secretary of Defense is worried about how their deaths make the president look. That is a grievous insult to every service member who has worn the uniform,โ€ Vindman said.

Senators criticize agencies over dual counter-drone incidents in Texas after briefing from officials Senators from both parties criticized the Pentagon, FAA and CBP for inadequately coordinating the employment of counter-drone systems.

I gotta say that "interagency tumult over the employment of counter-drone systems in the U.S." and "turmoil between the military and FAA ... caused, in part, by inadequate information-sharing and data practices across those departments" seem bad.

Nearly a century after Bonus Army, veterans demand that promises are kept The march memorialized the Bonus Army, who marched on Washington, D.C., demanding early payment of service certificates due in 1945.

"The event tied is to the VFWโ€™s โ€œHonor the Contractโ€ campaign, a major initiative demanding that Congress uphold the legal and moral obligations owed to veterans. That includes specifically defending VA disability benefits and health care."

When veterans take the pen, war stories start to change Hollywood has never lacked war stories. But it has often lacked veteran storytellers telling them.

"When veterans become writers, war stories shift. The story moves toward lived ambiguity, and service is not reduced to a single narrative. The difference is not cosmetic. It is tonal. And audiences, especially those who have served, can tell."

They all do this. And it feels like a reflection on the humans behind them, whose inflated careers are built on never admitting they donโ€™t know the answer. The โ€˜smartest people in the roomโ€™ if โ€˜smartโ€™ just means glib and facile, turning out lies with complete conviction.

NEW: In a statement, VoteVets calls out Donald Trump for recklessly launching an unconstitutional, aimless war with Iran, ignoring warnings and endangering lives while lying to Americans. Republicans must hold him accountable.

You know who kept Iran from getting nuclear weapons? Obama. Trump ripped up that deal and walked away, and here we are today. He's desperately trying to come up with a way to solve a problem that he created out of thin air.
