Hegseth: "We will keep pushing, keep advancing. No quarter, no mercy for our enemies."

No quarter is the refusal to take prisoners and instead just execute everyone. It's been considered a war crime for over a century.

Government shutdown hits spring break travel with hours-long TSA lines A partial shutdown impacting the Department of Homeland Security left some travelers waiting hours at airport security checkpoints.

We offered to fund TSA. No conditions. Republicans refused.

They want the hostage, to extract more ICE money with. No ICE reforms

There is No MAGA Split on Iran And other ways the media misleads you.

"There is no meaningful MAGA split on Iran...The war in Iran is unpopular, but that is the case because of opposition from a supermajority of Democrats, a majority of Independents, and a sliver of Republicans...A group that is 'split' approximately 85%-5% isn’t really split at all."

This is Andrew Davis, who Trump nominated to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas.

The judiciary committee already advanced his nomination to the Senate floor on a party-line vote.

Now he just awaits final confirmation by the full Senate, timing TBD.

EXCLUSIVE: 7 months ago, Ukraine tried to sell the U.S. their battle-proven technology for downing Iranian-made drones.

The Trump administration dismissed the Ukrainians, only to reverse course last week after more-than-expected Iranian drone strikes.
