How divorce affects your family’s TRICARE benefits

Under anti-vaccine Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., scientists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have been blocked from publishing a scientifically vetted study finding significant health benefits from this season’s COVID-19 vaccines, according to reporting by The Washington Post. The move adds to longstanding concern among health experts that chaos and political interference under Kennedy—a staunch anti-vaccine activist who has long falsely maligned COVID-19 vaccines—is deeply undermining science at federal agencies and beyond.

But there was another more subtle target for his words: the men and women of the United States military. The president was placing a choice before them. Do you serve Trump, or do you serve the Constitution? Do you serve Trump, or do you serve an even deeper law than the Constitution — the universal moral imperative to protect the innocent and the vulnerable?

Exchange Service Command, or Nexcom, the convenience store in Redzikowo doesn’t make much money. But it’s part of a sprawling system that plays a critical role in retention, morale and ultimately, U.S. national security by funneling profits into programs that support sailors and their families. Now, that network could be at risk as larger, savvier retail giants like Walmart, Amazon and Target chip away at Nexcom’s U.S. market share, forcing it to do what any good retailer does when sales slow: hire consultants and embark on an ambitious turnaround plan.

Letters from Leo can now independently confirm that the meeting took place — and that the Vatican was so alarmed by the Pentagon’s tactics that Pope Leo XIV shelved plans to visit the United States later this year. Many in the Vatican saw the Pentagon’s reference to an Avignon papacy as a threat to use military force against the Holy See.

Spoiler Alert: Operation Epic Fury has been a failure... President Trump's goals for the war with Iran included putting an end to the country's nuclear program, destroying its military capabilities and creating regime change. Yet after more than five weeks of fighting, and with a two-week ceasefire now in place, the president has fallen well short of those aims. In addition, Iran's control over the economically crucial Strait of Hormuz has created a crisis that didn't exist before the war began.

Daalder, a senior fellow at Harvard's Belfer Center, told DW that several factors have brought NATO to this low point. It's not just the insults Trump flings at the alliance and its European members, to which they've become quite accustomed. Trump repeated his view on Monday that NATO is a "paper tiger" that won't support the US in its war against Iran. Nor, the former ambassador said, is it even Trump's repeated threats to withdraw from NATO, which is accompanied by the more practical concern that he would be unwilling to participate in collective defense if another ally were attacked, the guarantee pledged by NATO's Article 5.

The U.S. Navy is requesting $3 billion to replenish its stockpile of Tomahawk missiles that have been depleted over the course of the Iran war, according to the Defense Department’s fiscal 2027 budget request. As part of the $1.5 trillion budget request released Friday, the Navy has asked for a 1,200% increase in the number of the long-range land attack missile.

A Jewish leader in the US decries US President Donald Trump’s threat to destroy “a whole civilization” as his deadline for Iran nears. “We know what it means when leaders call for communities and populations to be wiped out,” Amy Spitalnick, CEO of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, says in a statement. “Any suggestion that this advances Jewish or Israeli safety is simply an exploitation of our community to advance horrific war crimes and the President’s broader extreme anti-democratic agenda.”

FALLS CHURCH, Va. – Recently injured? Whether it was a car accident or a slip on a wet floor, if someone else is at fault, federal law allows TRICARE to seek payment of your medical costs from that third party. “Checking for third-party liability after an accident ensures proper billing coordination, compliance with the law, and that medical costs are covered by whoever is responsible. This process helps protect TRICARE’s resources, keeping it affordable for all beneficiaries,” said Latoya Hayes, claims subject matter expert, TRICARE Health Plan, at the Defense Health Agency. Here’s what will happen, and what to do:
