When Trump says he "isn't worried about boots on the ground" in Venezuela, that's because he isn't talking about his family.

The review, outlined in a Pentagon memo obtained by NPR, comes after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told admirals and generals in September that women must meet the "highest male standard."

Of course not—so let's stop playing dumb.

Trump isn't even trying to hide why he attacked Venezuela: OIL. Americans don't want a war with Venezuela—especially not one to enrich oil executives.
Oil profits are not worth putting American lives at risk.

Let me repeat: 2025 was the worst year for job growth outside of a recession since 2003.
Trump's economic policy has been nothing short of a disaster since the start. How about instead of starting wars with foreign countries, we fix our problems here at home?

Renee was deeply loved by many. Her mom described her as “one of the kindest people I’ve ever known.”

Conducting immigration enforcement doesn't mean you execute American citizens in the street.
Yet DHS is already lying about what we can all see with our own eyes.
Since Kristi Noem won't, state governments everywhere will need to hold out-of-control federal agents accountable.
