Hegseth vs. Ossoff on Iran, Plus the SAVE Act Smuggled Into the Defense Bill

Pete Hegseth told America the Iran war was a historic and overwhelming victory. Then he sat in front of the Senate and asked for 80 billion more dollars, and when Jon Ossoff asked him to repeat his own victory claims under oath, he wouldn't do it. This week the receipts came due all at once: a $37.5 billion war tab, a $95 billion reconciliation package, a $1.15 trillion defense bill passed by four votes, and drone attacks on American bases in three countries during month five of "mission accomplished."

On the docket: the full breakdown of the Hegseth and Caine hearing and the war powers trick hiding inside the word "victory." The Pentagon's new mandatory testosterone screening program, captioned The High-T Department of War, because that's real. The FOIA proposal that would make the Pentagon's unclassified records permanently secret. Section 219, the US-Israel provision that cracked both parties in half and got "fixed" by deleting the word integration instead of the integration. The SAVE Act getting welded to the NDAA, the stock trading bill, and maybe the September funding deadline. What the handwritten witness statements say about the ICE killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston, and the judge who had to stop ICE from deporting the eyewitness. Plus: Trump demands his E. Jean Carroll money back, 400 legislators fight the abortion pill mail ban, and Jon Ossoff is suddenly the name to know for 2028.
