President Donald Trump passed on a chance to launch a sustained strike on Iran that could have fully dismantled the country’s nuclear program. Months in the making, the plan was crafted by the commander of the U.S. Central Command, Erik Kurilla, a four-star general nicknamed “the Gorilla” and one of the few voices on the Middle East that Trump actually listens to, NBC News reported.

I guess trump's assessment was off... One of the three nuclear enrichment sites in Iran struck by the United States last month was mostly destroyed, setting work there back significantly. But the two others were not as badly damaged and may have been degraded only to a point where nuclear enrichment could resume in the next several months if Iran wants it to, according to a recent U.S. assessment of the destruction caused by the military operation, five current and former U.S. officials familiar with the assessment told NBC News.

The reprimand allegedly took place after a tense one-on-one meeting on April 4 between Yinon Weiss, Elon Musk’s pick to lead DOGE at the Defense Department, and Justin Fulcher, another official at the advisory body, three sources told the Washington Post.

Earlier this month, as Republicans raced to get their “big, beautiful” billionaire tax cut package across the line, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was also making the rich richer. Russell Vought, who serves as acting director of the CFPB while simultaneously serving as the director of the Office of Management and Budget, quietly signed an order releasing Navy Federal Credit Union from its agreement to refund $80 million to U.S. service members over illegal fees.

It's been nearly a year since a jury convicted Bree Kuhn for murdering her husband, Collin Turner, in their Gulf Breeze home in 2021.

Obviously Hedgehog is a Polliwog... Rear Adm. Michael “Buzz” Donnelly was named as a candidate for promotion to vice admiral and commander of the 7th Fleet on June 18 by President Donald Trump. But amid a recent report by conservative news outlet The Daily Wire about Donnelly allowing drag performances under his command aboard the aircraft carrier Ronald Reagan, the Pentagon has moved on from the admiral.

In addition, two DOJ lawyers have asked states to share information about voters to implement a Trump executive order that would shift some power over elections from the states to Washington. Courts have temporarily blocked key provisions of that order, including changing mail ballot deadlines and requiring voters to provide proof of citizenship. The DOJ attorneys have asked to talk about a different provision, which has not been halted by the courts, focused on sharing information.

That is a complete lie but what else is new? Secretary of Defense ordered the removal of 2,000 National Guard troops who were mobilized in response to protests in Los Angeles last month over immigration raids, a Pentagon official said Tuesday. "Thanks to our troops who stepped up to answer the call, the lawlessness in Los Angeles is subsiding," chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said in a statement.

WASHINGTON — The Senate on Tuesday narrowly confirmed Anthony Tata, a retired Army brigadier general who has made inflammatory remarks about Islam and prominent Democrats, to serve as the Pentagon’s personnel chief.
