A security agent for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth just warned the reporters here — for Hegseth’s first press conference in 6 months — that we will be physically removed from the briefing room if we are not professional and maintain decorum. We asked if that meant no shouted questions and got no clarity. It’s the first time any of us could ever remember being threatened like this. Shouted questions are normal. “This is crazy town” one journalist said, noting the White House has never threatened reporters like that. We’re in the room, back row:

Pete Hegseth hadn't addressed reporters at the Pentagon since May.
Not even when a Navy commander was killed in a helicopter crash in the Arabian Sea on July 1.
Or when three U.S. soldiers were killed in an Iranian missile attack on a base in Jordan on July 17.
He waited until he needed to defend himself.

A Supreme Court justice took more than $2.4 million in gifts.
He should not be on the Supreme Court.
Repost if you agree. 👇

President Biden: "You don't get to turn a blind eye to cops being punched, speared, sprayed, and brutalized and call yourself a friend of law enforcement. What Trump did on January 6, 2021, should never be forgotten. It should follow him to his grave." theatlantic.com/politics/202…

Trump went on national TV to claim "we haven't lost one soldier" in the Iran War. He's lying.
Over 21 American service members have made the ultimate sacrifice.
It is past time to end the war and hold Trump accountable.
Trump on the Iran War: Nobody has died. It's not a war.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Pentagon has updated the death toll of US troops during Iran war to 21
11 of which have died from enemy hostile fire.

"Great Dana White, a violent fighter and warrior"
Here's Dana White slapping his wife in the face multiple times and shoving her. This administration platforms and protects abusers, predators and pedophiles.

Here we go
SCOOP: The Trump administration is considering an executive order that would list some nonprofit organizations as having terrorist ties, a move that would immediately suspend their tax-exempt status and cripple their operations.
Officials are reviewing an arcane law that would allow President Trump to use an untested part of the tax code and write an executive order declaring groups linked to terrorism. Those groups would then automatically lose their coveted tax-exempt status.

I spent two years working with Stephen Miller.
His appointment as White House chief of staff is among the most dangerous personnel decisions in the history of our republic.
I say that without reservation.

He’s never been in my house.
He’ll never be in my house.
Thank you for your attention to the matter of my house.
