The Defense Department held up a shipment of U.S. weapons for Ukraine this week over what officials said were concerns about its low stockpiles. But an analysis by senior military officers found that the aid package would not jeopardize the American military’s own ammunition supplies, according to three U.S. officials.

The move to halt the weapons shipment blindsided the State Department, members of Congress, officials in Kyiv and European allies, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the matter.

      $1 Trillion in Medicaid Cuts—$1 Trillion in Tax Giveaways for the Richest 1 Percent: The One Big ‘Beautiful’ Bill’s Budget Math

      The one Big Bloat bill... On July 3rd, Congressional Republicans passed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA)—sweeping, regressive legislation that will upend the American health care and tax systems. Drawing on estimates of Senate legislation published by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT), a new Center for American Progress analysis finds that the bill’s Medicaid cuts for low-income families and its tax giveaways to the top 1 percent of earners are roughly equal in size: approximately $1 trillion over the next decade.

      NSW LOGSU-1 Sailor Receives Navy and Marine Corps Medal for Heroism

      Utilitiesman 1st Class Steven Schumacher stands at attention after being presented the Navy and Marine Corps Medal at the Silver Strand Training Complex in San Diego, June 27. The Navy and Marine Corps Medal is the highest non-combat decoration awarded by the Department of the Navy, recognizing acts of heroism that exemplify unwavering dedication in the absence of enemy conflict. While returning to Naval Amphibious Base Coronado after conducting nighttime maritime training off the coast of Southern California, Schumacher and his team's vessel struck a submerged jetty, resulting in injuries among the crew, including one Sailor who was thrown into the water facedown, and unconscious. Despite sustaining injuries himself, Schumacher dove into the water to retrieve his teammate and brought him back to the vessel, where he was able to receive care from trained medical Sailors. His swift and decisive actions demonstrated teamwork and resilience, and bravery - reflecting the valor and dedication that define the U.S. Navy and Naval Special Warfare (NSW). NSW provides maritime special operations force capabilities to enable Joint Force lethality and survivability inside denied and contested areas.
