President Donald Trump's Pentagon chief triggered a deluge of backlash Thursday night after a report that American forces struck a civilian highway bridge near Tehran twice on Thursday as Iranian villagers gathered nearby to celebrate the final day of the Persian new year. A U.S. military official, speaking anonymously to The New York Times, confirmed American forces struck the B1 bridge twice, in what's colloquially called a "double tap," claiming it was a planned military supply route for Iran's missile and drone forces. Iran's deputy governor of Alborz province flatly rejected the U.S. characterization, telling state media the bridge was not yet operational and that "there was absolutely no military activity on bridge B1."

From Iran to China, President Trump's global aggression has encouraged other countries to search for new ways to pressure the U.S. economy. While many countries have acceded to the president's demands, some have found a highly effective new way to fight back. Mr. Trump's aggression has given them the opportunity to test their control over choke points, threatening the United States and the global economy. One such choke point is the Strait of Hormuz. Another was seen when Beijing responded to Trump's tariffs by rolling out a licensing system for exports of rare-earth minerals and magnets that has given China unparalleled control over the global manufacturing system.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has asked Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George to step down and take immediate retirement, sources familiar with the decision told CBS News. One of the sources said Hegseth wants someone in the role who will implement President Trump and Hegseth's vision for the Army.

"... One of several efforts to hold Schwartz accountable for what happened at his nursing homes. In perhaps the most sweeping move, federal prosecutors in New Jersey charged Schwartz with orchestrating a $39 million payroll tax scheme connected to his nursing home empire. He pleaded guilty last April to failure to pay the IRS taxes withheld from employees and failing to file a financial report for his employees' benefit plan. A federal judge sentenced him to three years in prison." But Schwartz served just three months. In November, President Donald Trump granted him a full pardon, negating his criminal conviction " part of a series of clemency decisions in the president's second term that have benefited well-connected defendants, including political allies with access to the White House and individuals like Schwartz who had spent heavily on lobbyists."

President Donald Trump on Wednesday said it's "not possible" for the federal government to fund Medicare, Medicaid and child care costs, arguing that it should be up to the states to "take care" of those programs while the federal government focuses on military spending.
President Donald Trump fired off an insulting attack on Bruce Springsteen less than five minutes after Fox Business aired a segment on his latest tour.
Maybe he'd have been better off not trying. Trump's critics (including me) have castigated him for refusing to go on television and provide a comprehensive explanation of the war to the American people. But given his performance this evening, perhaps he had the right instinct. His address did not come across as a wartime speech but instead was a disjointed series of complaints, brags, and exaggerations (along with a few outright lies) delivered by a man who looked and sounded tired. After his 19 minutes on the air"brisk by Trump's standards"Americans could be forgiven for being even more concerned now than they were only a few days ago.
More than 10,000 veterans lost their homes to foreclosure since May of last year, when the Trump administration shut down a key safety net in the VA home loan program, according to the latest industry data. That is the highest pace of foreclosures for VA loans in a decade. Another 90,000 vets are heading toward foreclosure. This comes after a years-long debacle inside the Department of Veterans Affairs has whiplashed thousands of vets between various enacted and canceled programs and left many of them on the brink of losing their homes " often through no fault of their own. A loan backed by the VA is considered one of the most valuable benefits for military service members and has helped millions achieve homeownership. But for nearly a year now, vets have had worse protections and options than most other homeowners if they fall behind.

Operation "Epic Mistake"
Iran's president has written an open letter to America asking whether the Trump administration's war with his country is putting "America First." "Exactly which of the American people's interests are truly being served by this war?," Masoud Pezeshkian wrote in the letter, addressed "to the people of the United States of America" and posted on X late Wednesday local time, hours before US President Donald Trump gave his first national address on the Iran war.
