I thank Ireland for its unwavering support for Ukraine, for our defense, and for our people. We have always received Ireland’s full understanding of what is happening in Ukraine and, most importantly, of how unjust Russia’s aggression is – against Ukraine and against normal, peaceful life in Europe.
Today, during my meeting with Micheál Martin @MichealMartinTD, I briefed the Taoiseach on the situation in our country, on what is happening on the front line and how difficult it is for us to restore our infrastructure after Russian strikes. I am grateful for Ireland’s readiness to help and for the support packages it provides.
We agreed that Ireland will take an active part in the Shelter Coalition. Thank you for this contribution. Today, we also discussed the details of our Drone Deal with Ireland. The priority is naval drones and security at sea. We are ready to help Ireland with this.
I visit the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier several times a year. I’ve seen this happen multiple times.
Absolute fucking embarrassment that it had to happen to SecDef.
If you’ve ever been to the spot at Arlington where Hegseth got reprimanded, you know it’s one of the most solemn, heaviest, emotional places in America. Most would never dream of being loud or laughing while we are there. But Hegseth, on Vet’s Day of all days, is a classless ass.
BREAKING: On Veterans Day, a guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery had to SHOUT at a group that included Pete Hegseth and other senior officials after laughter broke out, demanding silence and respect.
This is one of the most sacred places in America, honoring service members who gave their lives and whose identities remain unknown.

TONITE at 10PM EST on @VICE TV, see a 90 minute block of Cornette Side of the Ring, my highly popular @VICESports YouTube show! Lots of topics, including a breaking story today I've been inundated with--and I have Herd enough about. Tune in and turn on!
If you're a business owner who pays your employees below a living wage that means your employees qualify for food stamps, and the federal government is subsidizing your business.
That's communism.
You're a communist.
John Oliver on Pete Hegseth: Lack of command experience, sexual misconduct, workplace drinking, anti-Muslim chants, strip club debacle.
"To be fair, he has always sucked."
John Oliver's whole show tonight is about Pete Hegseth, who has plenty to say about women in combat.
Oliver: His own mother once wrote: "You are an abuser of women. That is the ugly truth."
