A dramatic image with bold text about Idaho House Committee's passage of a social transition ban, set against a grayscale domed ceiling background.

Screenshot of an X post by journalist John Harwood responding βmy god he is sickβ to a post by Adam Schwarz quoting Pete Hegseth. The quoted post says Hegseth, when asked about Russia helping Iran target Americans, replied that they are not concerned and that the only people who should worry are Iranians who think they are going to live. Below is a video still from a β60 Minutesβ interview showing Hegseth speaking.
