The late-night blast sent a fireball more than 2,000 feet into the South Texas sky and shook a miles-long swath of the Rio Grande Valley with the force of the military’s most powerful bombs.

It triggered dozens of 911 calls, tied up first responders, sparked fires and hurled debris across the Rio Grande into Mexico. https://t.co/rMcnWb4339

[Sig Christenson 🏕🔭🗽 @saddamscribe]

The feds have gone after a Washington Post reporter in hopes of uncovering her sources. We wrote in November about concerns retired generals and others have of the administration targeting them because they're critical of the president. Our story's gifted. https://t.co/zgpJTyj95U

NEW: SpaceX sued by worker who says he was hit by falling debris at Starbase

Despite @DeptofWar calling this an "open press event" a "reporter with Hearst newspapers, the state’s largest media organization, was escorted from the site of Monday evening’s speech..."

Why did @DeptofWar want to keep Pete Hegseth's visit to San Antonio (aka Military City, USA) today a secret?

[Brandon Lingle @Brandlingle]

@SecWar is giving his "third major speech since becoming Secretary" alongside @elonmusk in South Texas today, but apparently they don't want local media there.

[Brandon Lingle @Brandlingle]

What's @SecWar up to in San Antonio this am?

Today’s advice from an angry reader:

“Try being a good citizen rather than a trouble maker who happens to be a veteran.”

[Brandon Lingle @Brandlingle]

Will @PeteHegseth & @elonmusk allow local media to attend?

Also, will the secretary visit the troops wounded in Venezuela & recovering at BAMC?

[San Antonio Express-News @ExpressNews]

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is visiting Brownsville and Fort Worth tomorrow to tour SpaceX and Lockheed Martin facilities.

The Pentagon said Sunday he will deliver remarks to SpaceX workers alongside CEO Elon Musk at the Starbase facility where the company builds and tests its Starship mega-rocket. https://t.co/qNWJJIT31N

[Captain Mark Kelly @CaptMarkKelly]

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.

If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

[Senator Mark Kelly @SenMarkKelly]

When I was 22 years old, I commissioned as an Ensign in the United States Navy and swore an oath to the Constitution. I upheld that oath through flight school, multiple deployments on the USS Midway, 39 combat missions in Operation Desert Storm, test pilot school, four space shuttle flights at NASA, and every day since I retired – which I did after my wife Gabby was shot in the head while serving her constituents.

In combat, I had a missile blow up next to my jet and flew through anti-aircraft fire to drop bombs on enemy targets. At NASA, I launched on a rocket, commanded the space shuttle, and was part of the recovery mission that brought home the bodies of my astronaut classmates who died on Columbia. I did all of this in service to this country that I love and has given me so much.

Secretary Hegseth’s tweet is the first I heard of this. I also saw the President’s posts saying I should be arrested, hanged, and put to death.

If this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies who care more about their own power than protecting the Constitution.

Federal investigators have found evidence of cracks in the engine mount of the UPS cargo plane that crashed this month in Louisville, killing 14, after it spent much of the previous two months in San Antonio for maintenance. https://t.co/Pq1bM5EyAI

Instead of explaining why this order ended up on DOGE's tally, the VA secretary bullies and accuses a veteran of lying.

VA press sec @PeteKDCNews (Pete Kasperowicz), an ex-Fox News writer, led him astray with this one.

[VA Secretary Doug Collins @SecVetAffairs]

Every time I think the legacy media’s standards couldn’t get any lower, they prove me wrong. Today’s example comes from The San Antonio @ExpressNews’ @Brandlingle and @RicBrack, who are falsely implying that DOGE forced VA to cancel a contract for a Veteran’s prosthetic leg. This is a 100% lie – the @ExpressNews knows it, and yet they refuse to correct the story. Awful behavior from the @ExpressNews, yet another biased media outlet that’s incapable of covering the Trump Administration fairly or accurately.

@Tittlewk93 @SecVetAffairs @ExpressNews @ricbrack Because doge claimed it killed the deal… in August. Maybe VA needs to talk to doge.

[Brandon Lingle @Brandlingle]

@Tittlewk93 @SecVetAffairs @ExpressNews @ricbrack Yes, you're getting to the point. The story is about DOGE cuts that don't create actual savings for taxpayers. Why is DOGE claiming the cut? Why is VA going out of its way to cover for DOGE?
