Hegseth: "Some in the press can't stop. Allow me to make suggestions. People look at the TV and they see banners, 'Mideast War Intensifies.' What should it read instead? How about, 'Iran increasingly desperate.' More fake news from CNN. The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better"
"The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better." - Hegseth on CNN. There are no more quiet parts. It's all said aloud.

Since July, more than a dozen pregnant children have been moved to a single facility in the small town of San Benito, along the south Texas border.

Moskowitz: By the president’s own metrics, what accomplishments does Noem have?
• She’s holding up 200 miles of border wall.

Why hasn’t he fired her?
Shot, and one-hell-of-a-chaser.

‘One officer told me that I "had no chance of returning to Minnesota" and that "the best thing for (me] is self-deportation." …
