The argument is that, a couple of years ago, I worked alongside my colleagues to pass into law something called the Civilian Protection Center. This is something that's at the Department of Defense, at the Pentagon—something that has personnel who are focused on this effort of ensuring protection of civilians, of reducing the risks that we see unfold here.

Prosecutors accused Peters, a staunch Trump supporter who served as the Mesa County Clerk and Recorder, of allowing an unauthorized person later discovered to be affiliated with MyPillow founder and fellow election conspiracy monger Mike Lindell to access and tamper with the county election equipment, breaking into the voting machines under her supervision and copying data that was later leaked online.

We recently acquired information that as of early February 2026, Iran allegedly aspired to conduct a surprise attack using unmanned aerial vehicles from an unidentified vessel off the coast of the United State Homeland, specifically against unspecified targets in California, in the event that the US conducted strikes against Iran. We have no additional information on the timing, method, target, or perpetrators of this alleged attack.

There is no doubt that there is a swath of the American public that is a typically younger piece of the puzzle that is very skeptical of the American projection of power abroad. Younger Republicans tend to look more askance at it. They don't remember the Cold War. They don't think as highly of what America could do abroad.

Supposedly, Anthropic refused to give the Pentagon unrestricted access to Claude, its frontier AI model, the only one currently running on classified military networks. They wanted guarantees that there would be zero mass surveillance and no autonomous weapons without a human in the loop, making the final decisions of life or death. The Department of War's message was 'remove those restrictions or lose everything.'

No one represents the emerging ideology of the Democratic Party better than AOC, and no one is better at articulating that vision in public, on social media, and in Congress. If we hope to build a successful movement for social democracy, at some point the Democrats must give their presidential nomination to someone who both believes in it and can sell it to the broader electorate.

HF1434, Minnesota's proposed age-verification bill, simply won't protect children. It mandates that websites hosting speech that is protected by the First Amendment for both adults and young people verify users' identities, often through government IDs or biometric data. The bill's definition of speech that lawmakers deem harmful to minors is notoriously broad—broad enough to sweep in lawful, non-pornographic speech about sexual orientation, sexual health, and gender identity.

The agreement allows VA attorneys to be sworn in as special federal prosecutors so they can bring guardianship or conservatorship petitions in state courts for veterans who are deemed unable to make their own medical decisions and who lack family or legal representatives.

Hill is one of nine people currently standing trial for events stemming from a small protest that took place on July 4, 2025, at the Prairieland Detention Center just outside of Dallas, in which a police officer was non-fatally shot. According to participants, the protest was meant to be a noisy but peaceful show of solidarity with ICE detainees held in the prison.

Detention operates through speed, confusion, [and] isolation, and so the role of this map is to try to interrupt that by centralizing the information that people will need. The map builds on an earlier version developed during the COVID-19 pandemic to monitor coronavirus outbreaks inside detention facilities.

AIPAC prizes its reputation as a formidable adversary, of course, because it discourages anyone from questioning its agenda. But the scholars also gave credence to the idea of a nearly unbeatable pro-Israel lobby, claiming that AIPAC has a stranglehold on the U.S. Congress.

America's financial markets are the envy of the world because they scale and adapt to meet investor demands. Like our markets, the CFTC's and SEC's regulatory frameworks must also evolve and modernize to accommodate the needs of our market participants.

The Defense Department has barred press photographers from briefings on the ongoing U.S.-Israeli military conflict with Iran after they published photos of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that his staff deemed 'unflattering,' according to two people familiar with the decision who spoke on the condition of anonymity out of fear of retaliation.

All you would need is a ship under a foreign flag positioned offshore to launch hundreds of drones, or even a truck carrying them. When I served as deputy administrator at the National Nuclear Security Administration, overseeing nuclear programs, the drone threat was something we were deeply concerned about.

The United States is the largest Oil Producer in the World, by far, so when oil prices go up, we make a lot of money. Short term oil prices, which will drop rapidly when the destruction of the Iran nuclear threat is over, is a very small price to pay for U.S.A., and World, Safety and Peace.
