Markwayne Mullin, an undefeated MMA fighter, has been appointed Secretary of Homeland Security, bringing a tough persona to a role that demands decorum and restraint.

Federal prosecutors are investigating whether Donald Trump showed a classified map to individuals on his plane after his presidency, including his chief of staff, Susie Wiles.

SatVu's cameras are so precise they can show the capacity of airfields, whether a ship is being loaded and even when individual pumps on a nuclear reactor are switched on.

Cobra is the opportunity at the highest level to bring people together on matters of real, significant national importance. Obviously Cobras are usually used for military considerations, consular considerations, but I think with the Iran war, most people are very concerned now, not only what they're seeing on their screens in relation to the conflict itself, but also that question of: How is it going to affect me and my family?

Tulsi Gabbard's statement here is totally false. Her effort to lie to Congress and the public to justify an unauthorized, unconstitutional war is shameless. She could have said: The only person who is commander in chief of the Armed Forces is the president. That still would have been a dodge, but at least it would have been true.

I didn't agree with your friend, Mr. Kent, but I did—again, I agreed with him yesterday on the fact that there was no imminent threat... even in your printed testimony today on page 6, in your last paragraph on page 6, 'As a result of Operation Midnight Hammer, Iran's nuclear enrichment program was obliterated. There's been no effort to try to rebuild their enrichment capability.' You omitted that paragraph from your oral opening. Was that because the president said there was an imminent threat?

I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.

The threat from cyberattacks are having a huge impact on people's lives and economic activities. This is quite an important threat to national security. Japan will therefore devise regulations that make it possible to enact the proactive cyber-defense actions that legislation passed last year foreshadowed.

When you're thinking about a major decision like this, the way the President makes these decisions is he talks to a lot of people. Obviously, we're thinking of various ins and outs, various options—what this looks like, how to accomplish our goals, what our goals should be. And I think it's important for the President of the United States to be able to have that conversation with his team without his team running their mouths to the American media.

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 States Homeland, specifically against unspecified targets in California, in the event that the US conducted strikes against Iran.
