The U.S. Army this week gave its chaplains 90 days to strip the rank from their uniforms in a move that puts a definitive timeline on a directive championed by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who has sought to shift religious leaders' identities from their military grade to their faiths. Army chaplains have 90 days to remove rank from Army Combat Uniforms and 180 days to remove it from cold weather gear.

Iranian state media says it has now "no choice but to obtain the atomic bomb" to remove "the military option for the occupation and partitioning of Iran" from the table, arguing Iran must "absolutely reach nuclear deterrence" before current negotiations can be conducted "from a correct position," per Fars. Iran adds the acquisition is not only driven by negotiation leverage but also by Trump's two recent nuclear threats against Iran, including his April warning that "a whole civilization will die tonight" and his May threat of "one big glow coming out of Iran." This is also among the most direct nuclear weapons advocacy published on Iranian state media to date.
Attorneys for President Donald Trump have said that the BBC is trying to turn the president's defamation lawsuit against the corporation into a trial on the events of January 6, in a new legal filing where they argue that the BBC's request for documents under discoveries is too broad. Lawyers for the president wrote in a filing, reviewed by Newsweek: "Defendants are attempting to use this action as a vehicle to conduct a trial as to the events that occurred on January 6th." The filing states that the BBC had requested through discovery a number of documents, including Trump's telephone logs, calendars, schedules and daily diaries from November 3, 2020 to January 20, 2021.
David Streever appears to have been the second person in a matter of hours, after poll worker PaigeLynne Gonyea, that a specific pair of federal law enforcement officers tried to visit this past Tuesday in response to speech about Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials. They reportedly came up empty in Streever's case because he was abroad at the time, but then found him two days later at a hotel in New York City. Streever says he sent a harshly critical letter to acting ICE director Todd Lyons in January. It's denunciatory in its tone and predicts the downfall of Lyons's career, along with a lifetime of guilt, but contains no threats. Streever was apparently in Finland when officers showed up at his doorstep on Tuesday (at least three months after he sent the email) and told his wife they were there to issue a warning about the email to Lyons. One of the agents, Abbi Henry, reportedly left a business card.

The worst person in the world-- white supremacist mega-oligarch Felon Musk -- a kobold that has been propagating industrial scale racism through his vast social media platforms for years, including causing deadly xenophobic riots in the UK, now wants you to watch a film about a violent white anti-immigrant vigilante. This rakshasa helped dismantle USAID, which has led to the spread of pathogens, misery, and malnutrition to untold numbers of vulnerable people in the Third World while DOGE fired subject matter experts (SME) from the USG which could have helped stop hantavirus, screwworm, and Ebola virus.

Earlier in the month, Phil Mickelson was banned from The Farms Golf Club in San Diego over allegations of inappropriate behavior. According to a female employee, she claims Mickelson acted inappropriately towards her last spring, as he made unconsensual physical contact with her. In the new report, Mickelson allegedly was asked to leave two other golf clubs, according to Alan Shipnuck of Skratch. "In fact, Mickelson's unceremonious ending at The Farms seems to be part of a larger pattern. In recent years, he has had abrupt departures from two other high-end golf clubs, the Madison Club and The Bridges in Rancho Santa Fe. Sources at both clubs say his personal conduct was a primary factor.
