Sen. @tedcruz in March: "I don't believe that what is happening in Iran will be front and center in November. If it extends that long, we've done something wildly wrong... The president said at the beginning this is going to be a matter of several weeks."
This is deeply troubling.
We just learned that Pete Hegseth’s Spiritual Advisor said that “separation of church and state does not exist”
Pete Hegseth is a threat to American democracy and must be fired immediately.
Ryan Higgins, a senior adviser to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on religious issues, defended a video President Donald Trump shared depicting the Obamas as apes, said same-sex marriage was “abominable,” and speculated about how many abortions former Vice President Kamala Harris might have had, citing her age and claiming she had a “long record of sleeping around.”
In response to tabloid coverage of alleged sex crimes in Europe committed by immigrants, Higgins said, "They act like barbarians, killing and raping our white women."

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's senior adviser on religious issues, Ryan Higgins, has said the “Separation of Church and State does not exist," railed against “the satanic cult of LGBTQ,” criticized gay adoption as “buying babies,” told women that "No ‘career’ will ever give you the fulfillment you’re looking for that can only be found from being a mother,” and compared abortion to the Holocaust, posting it was like “saying Nazi concentration camps were ethnic end-of-life care.”
Sources say Higgins has played a role in shaping some of Hegseth's most incendiary remarks on faith and religion, and is now a key player in the newly announced Office of Religious Affairs at the Pentagon.

Hots&Cots has never been my full-time job. It’s been nights, weekends, and vacation days.
My day job has been almost 13 years at Microsoft, most recently as a senior iOS engineer. I’m part of this round.
So I’m open to two things:
* A full-time senior iOS role, building apps or the platforms behind them.
* Contract work. If you need an iOS, Android, or web app built end to end, that’s how I built Hots&Cots.
DMs are open. Hots&Cots isn’t going anywhere.
New from @alligordon_ and @halbritz:
Pete Hegseth’s senior adviser for religious issues has shared scores of racist and homophobic posts, spread conspiracy theories, and repeatedly denigrated Islam and immigrants.

"The dispatcher had questions for him, but he didn’t stay on the call to answer them.
'I said, ‘I’m sorry, I have to go in. People are going to die.'"
Hero doesn't even begin to cover it.

I told the president that he must now know who restricted access to Ukraine's use of Starlink and Starshield (given it's been days), and asked who it was. He claimed he even if he did know, he wouldn't tell the media.
He also said if there continues to be issues for Ukraine (Zelensky says there are) then he'll "get it straightened out"
Wiktoff also praised Putin as a "humanitarian" for Hubbard's release. Just this week, Putin's war in Ukraine killed scores of civilians, including a one year old child
Armed and in uniform, agents from the Department of Homeland Security have been knocking on doors to ask residents about their immigration status whether they're registered to vote. https://t.co/lK9zZJblDy
HUGE NEWS: I'm so excited to tell you all about the Sloth Act!!!
It will BAN SLOTH IMPORTS to the United States and its due to @RepMaxwellFrost's serious approach and thoughtful work. His team has collaborated with @slothinstitute and @SlothCon to get this right.
This will save the lives of sloths.
The horror of Sloth World where dozens of sloths died due to improper handling and care underscored the need for this.
Sloths are incredibly delicate and they do not do well in captivity. We should not be bringing them to the U.S.
Lots of new reporting in this piece about Pete Hegseth's future political ambitions — and the risks that threaten them

For perspective: White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia has held the same amount of on-camera, on-the-record press briefings since taking the position on Oct. 9 as Pentagon Press Secretary Kingsley Wilson who assumed the position in May 2025.
