Fun fact: there is one! Not truly random, but still. The first word of an operation or exercise name should start with one of the two-letter combinations assigned to each organization

1) not even a single mention of statutory or constitutional authority in this story
2) I guess the CBS style guide now uses “Secretary of War” 🙄

“I would certainly not want to rely on the rationale I've read”
"It reads as if you gave a lawyer an assignment: Give me the best possible rationale for why this is legal — be as inventive as you like," Sen. Adam Schiff (D-California), a former federal prosecutor, told reporters last week. "If that opinion were to be adopted, it would not constrain any use of force anywhere in the world. I mean, it is broad enough to authorize just about anything." He added that he saw legal risk to service members for participating in these operations. "I would certainly not want to rely on the rationale I've read," Schiff said.

You may be familiar with some of the photos already and not know where they came from. These are two of the most famous, they break me every time.

Twenty years ago today, on Veterans Day 2005, Rocky Mountain News published "Final Salute." It was awarded two Pulitzer Prizes, for Feature Writing (Jim Sheeler) and Feature Photography (Todd Heisler).

oh, Congress can simply use the power of the purse huh? but it’s also cool and good for the president to spend money that wasn’t appropriated so uhhhhhh what now
If Congress opposes a military action, it can use its power of the purse to cut off funding for the conflict. Democrats in Congress reduced aid for South Vietnam in 1975, and the result not long afterward was a North Vietnamese invasion that conquered the South and sent tens of thousands of "boat people" adrift in the ocean. Congress can also impeach a President, but Democrats lack the votes.

The “three hops” thing came from NSA collection methods … not SOTF targeting in Afghanistan (or anywhere else)

in addition to all the other inaccuracies here, it would be DOE that would do any testing
@realDonaldTrump The United States has more Nuclear Weapons than any other country. This was accomplished, including a complete update and renovation of existing weapons, during my First Term in office. Because of the tremendous destructive power, I HATED to do it, but had no choice! Russia is second, and China is a distant third, but will be even within 5 years. Because of other countries testing programs, I have instructed the Department of War to start testing our Nuclear Weapons on an equal basis. That process will begin immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

The idea that a House committee can unilaterally declare a presidential pardon “void” because they don’t like how the WH staff processes were run is so shockingly lawless and anti-constitutional that it defies description
www.cnn.com/2025/10/28/p...
"In light of the former president's cognitive deterioration and the cover-up from his inner circle, this 'approval' process calls into question the validity of all pardons reportedly granted by President Biden throughout his tenure," the committee stated, deeming "void" every executive action signed by the Joe Biden autopen "without proper, corresponding, contemporaneous, written approval traceable to the president's own consent."
