Yes, the same iCe that is arresting Navy family members... An ICE leader has been locked up in the same jail where he’d sent ICE prisoners after he allegedly strangled his girlfriend earlier this month.

I truly believe this is not going to work too well... The Department of Veterans Affairs is planning a massive reorganization of its health care management system, reducing the number of networks that support VA medical centers and realigning policy offices to promote consistency.

WASHINGTON — The Senate gave final passage to an annual military policy bill Wednesday that will authorize $901 billion in defense programs while pressuring Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to provide lawmakers with video of strikes on alleged drug boats in international water near Venezuela

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Tuesday he is overhauling the military’s chaplain corps, which provide religious and spiritual support to members of the armed forces and their families, saying he intended to target “new age” concepts.

President Donald Trump has ordered a “total and complete blockade” of all U.S.‑sanctioned oil tankers entering or leaving Venezuela, sharply intensifying pressure on President Nicolás Maduro’s government amid soaring tensions.

Despite a historic recruiting year, the Navy will need to continue to bring in more junior sailors to fully man at-sea billets, a problem that will likely continue into the next two to three years and is compounded by delays in the training pipelines, a Navy official told USNI News. The Navy has a total of 20,683 gaps-at sea as of Dec. 3, Stacee McCarroll, a service spokesperson, told USNI News on Monday. The majority of the gaps at-sea are in the apprentice level, which covers E-1 through E-3. At the apprentice level, there are 16,369 gaps at-sea, followed by 3,301 among journeyman sailors (E-4 to E-6) and 1,013 in the supervisor level, which includes sailors at ranks E-7 and above, McCarroll said.

“This is all a bunch of bulls‑‑‑, and the reason why, I think, is because this is just about sending a message to retired service members, active duty service members, government employees: Do not speak out against this president, or there will be consequences,” he said.

In contrast, some defense analysts and former commanders caution that prioritizing domestic missions risks blurring the traditional separation between military and civilian law enforcement. Representative Pat Ryan (D-NY) strongly opposed the strategy’s domestic focus, declaring, “Deploying U.S. troops against U.S. citizens in American cities isn’t just unprecedented and unconstitutional — it’s UNAMERICAN.”

A group of lawmakers found the Pentagon has diverted at least $2 billion intended for barracks repairs, school upgrades for children of service members and training programs to support the southern border mission.
