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.

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.

Our goal was to move people, equipment and supplies as quickly as possible to the affected areas, as well as provide the Navy and Coast Guard with additional surveillance assets to locate migrants at sea. This scenario of hunting down and interdicting migrants in the ocean may sound like the stuff of Trumpian nightmares, but the simulation was carried out in 2015 under the administration of President Barack Obama.

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.

In late 2024 and early 2025, whilst undoubtedly mentally unwell, he sent a number of emails, addressed to or copying into his communications bodies representing one or more foreign countries. Those emails contained information which the prosecution say should not have been disclosed in that way, the disclosure of which was damaging to UK national interests.

The U.S. Senate on Tuesday confirmed Army Lt. Gen. Joshua Rudd in a 71-29 Senate vote to lead the National Security Agency (NSA) and U.S. Cyber Command (CYBERCOM), filling a critical national security role that had remained vacant for nearly a year after the firing of the previous director, General Timothy Haugh, in April 2025.

David warns that the chaos at the department, combined with President Trump's demand that the SAVE Act be passed before he will sign any budget for the DHS, could endanger Americans as the United States wages war against Iran, the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism.

Under-regulated prediction markets have exposed America to needless public safety and national security risks by allowing traders to invest in outcomes related to sensitive matters like terrorism, assassination, war, or elections. Prediction markets also sponsor sports-related contracts against the wishes of many states, including Utah, that would otherwise prohibit these contracts if offered as traditional sports betting.

Last year the JIC produced a hard-hitting report which found the collapse of globally important ecosystems around the world including the potential shift of the Amazon from rainforest to savannah, the demise of coral reefs, and the loss of glaciers would threaten the UK's national security, through food shortages at home and the potential for conflict overseas.

This is incredibly serious, deeply concerning, a matter of national security rightly being investigated by the police. And that needs to be a thorough investigation so we can get to the bottom of it. It's deeply concerning right across the political spectrum. I think the scale of international interference now in our broader politics is really, real.

AI is directly impacting blue team (defender) and red team (attacker) strategies, operations and tactics. Federal cybersecurity teams are increasingly relying on AI for anomaly detection, predictive threat intelligence and faster incident response. AI can flag suspicious behavior, such as access to sensitive systems from unusual locations, without depending on static rules.
