To gain a better understanding of how this report contributes to national security, we asked our experts the question: What are the most consequential shifts in the 2026 Annual Threat Assessment, and do they reflect a substantive change in the threat environment or a shift in how the Intelligence Community is framing risk?

@1stopwatch1 Point taken. While I think the Admin’s efforts will help American manufacturing in time, in the short term it is definitely disappointing.
.@JosephMoreno bursts the liberal bubble on CNN about Jimmy Kimmel's suspension:
“I don’t think this is a legal issue. I don’t think this can be pointed to the FCC or the trump administration and say, well, this is about them going after Kimmel because of what he said. Personally, I think it’s more of a cultural issue. And I got to tell you. I’m about as moderate a Republican as you can get. I’m from New York. I have not been comfortable watching late-night television for 15 years because when you have conservative leanings and you’re constantly mocked and you’re constantly feel like you’re doing something wrong, you shut it off. You don’t watch it anymore. And then what happens is it’s circular. If the host doesn’t have that audience, the host doesn’t worry about keeping an audience like that. It goes in circles. And, at some point, you get things like this where you say things.”
Proud to graduate today from the @us_awc with a Master in Strategic Studies, alongside great Americans of the class of 2025 dedicated to protecting our national security. @USArmy@USArmyReserve
@honestpollster@elonmusk Mark, you were spot on in last year’s election, so I believe when you make these projections. Do you think this is due to Dem out-of-party energy, or specific missteps by Trump?
