Current and former officials say the pace of retirements and resignations from the CIA outstrips anything in recent memory.

This, along with cutbacks at the Office of Personnel Management, has meant former spies are waiting months to get their first pension check. https://t.co/e2SM7bOdbN

The definition of consistency. Show me another ‘28 QB that produces every week against high end CCL teams. The film doesn’t lie.

[Tyler Plantz @Tyler_Plantz]

Proud of this team, and the way they competed tonight. Most of the roster had their number called, and it was great to see their fight when their time came.

A LOT to clean up but a lot to be proud of.

Everyone fights battles we can’t see. Take a moment today to reach out to someone in your circle. A simple conversation can remind someone they’re not alone. #buddycheck #toml

@KenRoth Soldiers don’t have to play a direct role in criminal cases. Weather has the same effect.

The Trump administration is diminishing the US position in the Arctic while raising the alarm about China and Russia's ambitions in Greenland. Europe and Canada should take the lead. https://t.co/M1hnGsu8Lq

Africa’s jihadist threat remains highly uneven, with financing and battlefield capabilities shaping how armed groups operate across different regions.

Our 11 seniors received their post-grad assignments today. We’ve invested in them as wrestlers, but our mission has always been bigger than the mat.

Now, they take the lessons of leadership, service & perseverance into their careers.

📑“Why the Army’s Messaging About COIN Is Dangerous”

“The Army’s messaging has created an unintended signal: COIN is the past. This signal is wrong,” Michael Carvelli writes in this #SWJEssay. “COIN is not the past…. Future campaigns may demand it. Officers who have internalized “COIN is over” will be unprepared when campaigns require it.”

Students who used AI on their homework saw their average scores rise by 18% across all subjects after 6 months.

But on exams, those same students scored 20% below their classmates who had not used AI on homework.
