President Donald Trump's war victory claims drew jeers after one of his top officials quietly went into hiding. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has left his Washington-area home for a military base after Iran threatened his life, The New York Times reported, citing three people familiar with the matter.

"[H]ow can National Geographic or the Smithsonian -- like, if I'm the editor of National Geographic, I'm, I don't know. I'm assigning piece after piece, like, how were the pyramids built? How did they get the stones 300 feet in the air? Like, how did that happen? No one even asks. And it's considered wrong to ask." -- Tucker Carlson read more

A U.S. Army sentinel guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier reprimanded Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and a group of his senior advisers Wednesday after some in the group laughed and talked near the solemn memorial following a Veterans Day ceremony.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth bypassed the military's established merit-based promotion process, imposing new criteria that disproportionately disqualified women and people of color who had already been cleared for advancement, according to three military officials. A senior official told MS NOW that Hegseth's office orchestrated a deliberate screening process, compiling paper-only dossiers of internet search results that the affected officers could not review. Instructions about the new criteria were communicated by phone rather than in writing, leaving no written record of the directives. "I was like 'you gotta be kidding me,'" the official said. read more
The Consumer Price Index increased 0.4% in October after a 0.6% increase in September, according to a report released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics on Tuesday. Inflation came in hotter than expected, with economists predicting October prices would be up 0.3% month-over-month. The news is not good for American families continuing to struggle with affordability, and shows exactly why Republicans were obliterated in the midterm elections last week. The report also increases the likelihood that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates again for the second time this year before year's end, with Fed governors stating they would watch the October CPI report to make a determination.
Arwa Mahdawi: "Appointing Stephen Miller as White House chief of staff sends one clear message: Trump hasn't learned a thing from the Republicans' midterm wipeout," the group Republicans Against Trump tweeted. "He's not interested in working across the aisle or getting anything done. Keep this up, and Republicans will lose in 2028." Here's hoping.

In recognition of veterans, who are some members of your family (past or present) you'd like to honor for their military service?
A college Republican coalition claiming 31 affiliated student groups in 14 states that attacked the Trump administration from the right routed its email through the same Microsoft 365 account as a company controlled by white nationalist Nick Fuentes. Until Monday morning, Microsoft's public sign-in records put the College Republican Patriot Coalition (CRPC)'s web domain in an account registered to NJF LLC, a Fuentes-managed company that also runs his personal website and online store. read more
One day at an Idaho hospital, half the newborns Dr. Tom Patterson saw didn't get the vitamin K shots that have been given to babies for decades to prevent potentially deadly bleeding. Their parents wouldn't allow it. "When you look at a child who's innocent and vulnerable -- and a simple intervention that's been done since 1961 is refused -- knowing that baby's going out into the world is super worrisome to me," said Patterson, a pediatrician for nearly three decades. read more
