BREAKING: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is set to announce a 20 percent cut to slots slated for admirals and generals at the Pentagon as part of his push to overhaul the outlook of the department, a Pentagon official confirmed to The Hill.
U.S. forces are set to depart from bases in Iraq following two decades of American involvement that resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians and thousands of U.S. troops, and now leaves Iran at the center of the region’s future.

Hegseth: "A free press is of course important, but partisan activism that intentionally smears the troops and the historic mission that they are undertaking is fundamentally anti-American. It's sick. It's a national betrayal. It's treason." pic.twitter.com/2WrXZEhs9C

Jamie Raskin calls out the shitty ads as a crime (this was cited by CNN and other stories). This is the kind of Xitter post that I beg of @raskin.house.gov or other MoCs to cross-post over here — not least bc more people over here are likely to magnify it.
Tho I actually like this post better.IMO, one smart response to these ads is to taunt GOP MoCs that Trump is still sitting on mountains of $$ and instead using taxpayer dollars to remind voters what a corrupt asshole he is.
“Knowingly and willfully spending or obligating federal funds in violation of congressional appropriations limits can constitute a criminal violation of the Antideficiency Act" 31 U.S.C. § 1350. Does accepting those funds knowing expose MS NOW and CNN to possible criminal liability? #holdfast

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem — his facts were totally wrong.Here's the whole sequence:
The internet is erupting in mockery after Eric Schmitt’s spectacular Jack Smith faceplant.
Now people are openly speculating: Did his team plant the glowing 2028 story AND coordinate with MAGA influencers in advance, expecting a victory lap that blew up in their faces?…
In a bid to frame Jack Smith as a liar, Sen. Schmitt (R-Missouri) accused the former special counsel of perjuring himself after he denied attending an Atlanta Hawks game on Feb. 3, 2024.
It appears @bennyjohnson has now deleted his X post where he clearly pre-composed a post about Sen. Schmitt getting Jack Smith to perjure himself. Genuinely crazy how many big accts on this website appear to be coordinating with Republican politicians behind the scenes.
Schmitt: Who knew jack Smith was a Caitlin Clark fan? We had information he was at a basketball game. There was only one NBA game that night which is why I asked him if he was in Atlanta. He answered the question. That's what these hearings are for. You ask questions, you get… pic.twitter.com/FKwdbvierp

NEW: Eric Schmitt says he did not mix up the Atlanta Hawks and Iowa Hawkeyes.
"There was no confusion between Hawkeyes and Hawk," the Republican senator told FOS after his questioning of Jack Smith went viral as he believed he was about to catch Smith perjuring himself.
Every single MAGA legislator in that hearing today predicted Jack Smith would plead the 5th. Not only did Jack Smith not plead the 5th, he answered every question, and he wiped the floor with that sleazy motherfucker Ted Cruz
Eric Schmitt is on The Charlie Kirk Show (yes it's still called that) — and believe it or not, hosts are pretending he owned Jack Smith with his embarrassingly botched gotcha
Rep. Jim Baird (R-Indiana), who expensed more for lodging and meals than any other House member in each of the past two years, including $39,789 in 2025, did not respond to multiple attempts to speak with him. Neither did Rep. Abraham Hamadeh (R-Arizona), a first-term member who was the second-biggest spender last year with $39,131.
