The president is now unleashing state violence at home and abroad, illegally and with impunity.

Pope Leo XIV had no kind words for this administration’s stance on immigration, war, or what it means to be “pro-life.”

There’s a reason they sat there in stony silence: What Trump and Hegseth said they wanted Tuesday is anathema to military leaders.

Spoiler alert: zero

“Please clap,” Donald’s version.

It’s not just about Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s speech to military leaders—there’s a bigger problem with the Pentagon’s new direction.

The defense secretary went on a crazed rant while putting the entire U.S. military at risk by ordering hundreds of admirals and generals to attend his meeting.

Minutes after Pete Hegseth promised to untie the hands of the military and unleash violence, Donald Trump named the cities he’d go to war with next.

Hegseth revealed he was reducing some training requirements but permitting aggressive training tactics.

Pete Hegseth has been open about his prejudice against women in the military.

The secretary of war essentially put the entire U.S. military on standby for potential conflicts.

The defense secretary is putting the entire U.S. military at risk to hear himself speak.

Several people said Hegseth’s unprecedented request sparked security concerns.

The Defense Department is trying to limit what journalists can cover.

Some Defense Department officials are ready to exploit Charlie Kirk’s death.

At least eight members of the U.S. military are facing discipline for comments they made on social media after Kirk’s assassination.

The defense secretary may have just fired an employee in response to a hate-filled social media post.

The president’s desired update to the agency’s name marks the collapse of the liberal international order—and a military finally marching with its mask off.

The Trump administration has provided few details about the strike.

He really wants the Nobel Peace Prize. He deserves the opposite.
