Pentagon officials know that real damage numbers, which Congress is demanding, will dramatically undermine claims that Secretary Hegseth has made to Congress in efforts to minimize the appearance of the cost of the war. Hence, they keep stonewalling congressional requests for the information.

Tulsi Gabbard dumped a pile of docs & claimed they were evidence of a vast plot by Fauci to manipulate intelligence, cover up the lab leak, & conceal his role in creating Covid.

They weren’t.

In reality, Gabbard’s documents undermine her. Here’s what they say…

Thank you @lawfaremedia.org ⚖️
Mimicking the opening chapters of 1984, Trump's DOJ quietly deleted thousands of press releases about the Jan 6 insurrection. So Lawfare restored them: more than 5,700 pages recovered and publicly archived.

Last week, the Justice Department deleted thousands of press releases related to the Jan. 6 insurrection and other matters. Here they are.

Many are running for pivotal state-level roles like governor or secretary of state that wield enormous power to undermine a fair election.

A 22-year-old just got a $30 million investment valuing his new futures exchange at $300 million.

He graduated Stanford, wrote for Thiel's Stanford Review, interned at Andreessen Horowitz.

His mom? Pro-crypto Sen. Gillibrand, D-NY.

Bipartisan capture in full bloom.

Mamdani's speech at the Knicks parade was easily the best I've ever heard at an event of that sort. I posted the whole thing on YouTube for your viewing pleasure. Highly recommended.

Elon Musk’s DOGE cut the federal government’s screwworm monitoring program, which cost $15 million.

Now, the Trump administration is preparing to spend $1 billion to combat the screwworm outbreak.

Never forget how destructive and downright stupid DOGE was.

Kinda perfect that Section 702 expired today—on the 55th anniversary of the Pentagon Papers.

NEW: A stunning new project from @lawfaremedia.org's @katherinepomps.bsky.social finds that 97 Jan. 6ers who received clemency for their role in the Capitol riot then got arrested, charged, and/or convicted with subsequent crimes—a number much higher than previously reported.
