Watch for follow-on reports where I break down Israel’s claims of “precision” and “minimal collateral damage” as the targeted assassination of 11 Iranian scientists killed dozens to hundreds of civilians within just a handful of strikes.

Compelling, on-the-ground reporting tackles vital questions: Was Iran building a nuclear weapon? Did the joint Israel/U.S. campaign really “destroy” the nuclear program? What are the broader implications?

We are reminded that the good among us are bonded by a shared humanity that transcends religion, culture, nationality, race—and which will always be mightier than those depraved souls who submit to the bonds of extremism.

A horrific and targeted terrorist attack by a father and son at a Jewish celebration in Australia. The brave actions of Syrian Muslim immigrant Ahmed al Ahmed who single-handedly disarmed one of the shooters, taking multiple bullet wounds in the process.

"Everything that the U.S. had been working towards [with DoD efforts to improve civilian harm mitigation], a lot of that was thrown out the window," Bryant said.

The Trump-Hegseth regime, and those senior military commanders who either agree or refuse to stand up, are quickly making the world and our nation far less safe and severely more volatile.

Now, they proudly proclaim a return to the testing and further development of the nuclear arsenal—weapons of mass destruction and tools of genocide.

In a move reminiscent of the North Korean military’s reverence of their “Supreme Leader,” Air Force leadership has already paraded the renaming of the next-generation strike fighter after Trump.

Upon my confirmation as Secretary of Defense, I would personally escort Hegseth out of the Pentagon, supervise the removal of his Secretary of War Crimes plaque, and return the U.S. military to the service of the American people and the U.S. Constitution.

I expect whoever comes next to do no less.

Hegseth’s juvenile behavior and performative extremism might otherwise be comical—were it not for the grave consequences.

To the culture of the U.S. military.

To the Constitution and the rule of law.

To our national security.

To global peace and stability.

To the lives of innocents.

This is summary execution. It is murder—disturbingly paraded and celebrated by a narcissistic sycophant who revels in the lethal power of a military that he should never have been put in control of.

I am proud to have provided analysis for this latest hard-hitting report by @washingtonpost.com outlining the illegality and immorality of Trump and Hegseth’s strike campaign against “narcoterrorism.”

Let none of us be used as pawns for the malicious aims of the wicked. Let us come together as Americans and as human beings. And if you are in D.C. and you come across our soldiers on the streets of the nation’s capital—give them a warm thank you and a reminder that we stand together.

Now, he uses a tragic event of his own creation to advance his fascist designs in a further assault to our democracy and in a grave affront to the service and sacrifice of these fallen soldiers.

He and his self-titled Secretary of “War” have placed young soldiers—whose service should be reserved for actual war or national emergencies—at undue risk.

But the reality is our soldiers are being used as pawns by a wanna be dictator, who cares nothing for their lives and who is so afraid of We the People that he set out to create his own King’s Guard, contriving a war on the streets of our nation’s capital to do it.

Like many, we intensely disagree with military deployment within America’s cities.

As we walked the hallowed streets of our nation’s capital, my best friend started a chain reaction of giving thanks to the soldiers and police officers who lined the way.
