Attorney General Pam Bondi’s department was forced into damage control after a top justice official was secretly recorded telling a date that the Epstein files would be manipulated to protect Republicans. Joseph Schnitt, an Acting Deputy Chief in the Department of Justice, was caught divulging the information by a woman he met on the Hinge dating app, not realizing she was an undercover operative for the O’Keefe Media Group.

For the second time in two days, Venezuela has flown military aircraft in the vicinity of the USS Jason Dunham in international waters near South America, multiple Defense Department officials confirmed to CBS News Friday, describing the action as turning into a "game of chicken." The aircraft, which one Defense Department official said were F-16 fighter jets, flew over the Dunham sometime overnight Thursday. It was unknown if the aircraft was armed.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. has ordered the deployment of 10 F-35 fighter jets to a Puerto Rico airfield to conduct operations against drug cartels, two sources briefed on the matter said, in a move likely to further inflame tensions in the region. The advanced fighter jets will be added to an already bristling U.S. military presence in the southern Caribbean as President Donald Trump carries out a campaign pledge to crack down on groups he blames for funneling drugs into the United States.

A group of Navy SEALs emerged from the ink-black ocean on a winter night in early 2019 and crept to a rocky shore in North Korea. They were on a top secret mission so complex and consequential that everything had to go exactly right. The Trump administration did not notify key members of Congress who oversee intelligence operations, before or after the mission. The lack of notification may have violated the law.

“The American people deserve maximum transparency from the federal government on sightings, acquisitions, and examinations of UAPs and whether they pose a potential threat to Americans’ safety,” Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.), who chairs the House Oversight and Government Reform’s Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, said in a statement Wednesday.

It all starts with leadership. The Chief’s Mess is unequivocally one of the most crucial links connecting the junior ranking to the top brass of any command. To be selected to ‘The Mess,’ a First-Class Petty Officer has to excel amongst their peers. But it doesn’t stop there. After being selected, the ‘Chief Selects’ must continue to prove their worthiness to ‘Be the Chief,’ in a time-tested, tried and true process—the Initiation.

Update: Two armed Venezuelan F-16 fighter jets flew over the USS Jason Dunham

“Today, two Maduro regime military aircraft flew near a US Navy vessel in international waters,” the Pentagon said in a statement. “This highly provocative move was designed to interfere with our counter narco-terror operations.”

He will sign an executive order on Friday for the Department of Defense to use the new name as a secondary title and for Defense Secretary Pete Hedgehog to be known as Secretary of War.

While not addressing the AI claims specifically, John Feeley, a former U.S. ambassador to Panama who worked in anti-drug operations in Latin America, said the video shared by the trump administration does not align with standard Coast Guard protocol for stopping boats believed to be carrying narcotics.

A source familiar with White House event planning told The New York Times Wednesday Trump has increasingly avoided holding meetings in larger spaces like the East Room, preferring the Oval Office partly because of its superior acoustics, and partly because it means he doesn’t actually have to stand up for prolonged periods of time.

The White House has warned Republican rebels in Congress that pushing for the full release of the Jeffrey Epstein pedophile abuse files would be seen as “a very hostile act” by President Donald Duck. Democrats complained, however, 97 percent of the documents were already in the public record, and Republican Thomas Massie, who has clashed regularly with Trump this year, stepped up his push for a House vote on the release of the documents in full.

Bajun Mavalwalla II – a former army sergeant who survived a roadside bomb blast on a special operations mission in Afghanistan – was charged in July with “conspiracy to impede or injure officers” after joining a demonstration against federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) in Spokane, Washington.

Last September, Carlson interviewed a man named Darryl Cooper, whom he dubbed “the most important popular historian working in the United States today.” Cooper’s conception of honest history soon became clear: He suggested that British Prime Minister Winston Churchill might have been “the chief villain of the Second World War,” with Nazi Germany at best coming in second. The day after the episode aired, Cooper further downplayed Hitler’s genocidal ambitions, writing on social media that the German leader had sought peace with Europe and merely wanted “to reach an acceptable solution to the Jewish problem.” He did not explain why the Jews should have been considered a “problem” in the first place.

President Donald Trump said Tuesday that the U.S. has carried out a strike in the southern Caribbean against a drug-carrying vessel that departed from Venezuela. The president offered scant details on the operation.

Seven U.S. warships, along with one nuclear-powered fast attack submarine, are either in the region or are expected to be there soon, bringing along more than 4,500 sailors and marines.

This is the divisiveness tRump is causing in our states and cities... Some of the policies include: law enforcement cannot conceal their identities while performing their duties; activated body cameras must be worn when interacting with a member of the public; and personnel must display which agency they are with including their last name and badge number.

Rumors hit social media after president disappeared for days Vice President JD Vance, in trying to quash the rumors, only made it worse, insisting he is ready to take the top job in case of a ‘terrible tragedy’. He told USA Today: ‘Yes, terrible tragedies happen. But I feel very confident the president of the United States is in good shape, is going to serve out the remainder of his term and do great things for the American people. ‘And if, God forbid, there’s a terrible tragedy, I can’t think of better on-the-job training than what I’ve gotten over the last 200 days. JD Vance itching to take over...

I hope that US residents remember the many derogatory comments trump made about Biden's health and age. Childish comments that were not necessary but are now biting him back... Well, several reporters claimed that the president has been oddly out of the public eye for most of the week. “Trump has not been seen publicly since his cabinet meeting on Tuesday,” Public Notice’s Aaron Rupar wrote on X while resharing a post from journalist Laura Rozen. Rozen posted on Friday: “Trump has no public events scheduled all weekend. Don’t believe he was seen today either.”

To be brutally honest, Putin has already played tRump like a fine tuned piano... “If that doesn’t happen by Monday, the deadline set by President Trump, it means that once again President Putin played President Trump,” Macron said Friday during a joint press conference with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.
