@AaronMehta @CNNPR There's a picture in my attic that looks ghastly...but honestly the photographer just did a good job hiding the dad bod.

Zachary Fryer-Biggs has joined CNN as Supervising Editor for National Security. Welcome, @ZachFB!

[Thomas Novelly @TomNovelly]

If you’re a guardsman assigned to the DC mission, I want to chat! DM me here or reach me on Signal: tomcnovelly.61

[Thomas Novelly @TomNovelly]

BREAKING: @Militarydotcom has acquired an Air Force service record matching with Sean Charles Dunn, the 37-year-old DOJ employee and veteran accused of assaulting a federal officer by throwing a sandwich at him.

Story to come @Militarydotcom:

If you're a member of the Texas or California National Guard, I'd like to chat with you and we can grant you anonymity. I can be reached on Signal at tomcnovelly.61 or through my DMs here!

[Leo Shane III @LeoShane]

This is a ridiculous and intentional misinterpretation of Patricia’s story. She accurately reports that rumors were circulating about DOGE involvement at VA and then sets the record straight. Sec Collins decided to attack one word in the story for unclear reasons.

[Haley Britzky @halbritz]

This is a, frankly, laughable way to speak to someone like @patriciakime who has been tirelessly covering the military and veterans for YEARS. You’ll be hard-pressed to find more of a pro who cares as much as she does. The work she has done is completely indispensable.

[Zachary Fryer-Biggs @ZachFB]

Mr. Secretary – You willfully misrepresented what was in that story, one where your own press office confirmed the details, and was quoted. Patricia is not going to be distracted by this nonsense, she’s going to continue doing the important reporting she’s done for years.

[VA Secretary Doug Collins @SecVetAffairs]

Reporters – Please help our Veterans by NOT spreading unconfirmed rumors, hearsay and innuendo about @DeptVetAffairs. Thank you!

[Zachary Fryer-Biggs @ZachFB]

Steve's right, and it's why these are the issues we mostly cover (including great reporting from Steve). That said, I do recall traveling with Ash Carter years ago and an 18-year-old doing training at Fort Leonard Wood broke into tears at being asked a question by the SecDef.

[Steven Beynon @StevenBeynon]

Troops just want access to half decent food, safe living conditions, and leadership without egos. This big stuff which committee hearings talk about - not even on the radar.

[Zachary Fryer-Biggs @ZachFB]

So this article has seen a sudden spike in readership on our site the last few days. @KToropin spent months over the summer getting answers about how the military would handle potentially illegal orders. You should read it https://t.co/NU3u5CQeS5

[Zachary Fryer-Biggs @ZachFB]

Really important story from @patriciakime on veterans repeatedly having mental health appointments cancelled often with no warning in what appears to be a broader pattern across the VA. https://t.co/MQV9ukUfLE

[Steven Beynon @StevenBeynon]

Scoop: The Army is looking to cut the ROTC scholarship budget by $100 million over 4 years amid an over saturation of new lieutenants. https://t.co/pQsT2eRuh8

This Is @FirewatchPod with @DF_Lawrence https://t.co/uvMprgzV9x

[Haley Britzky @halbritz]

NEW: For months I’ve been reporting on the New Hampshire National Guard, which current/former members say is plagued by toxicity, sexual assault and harassment, and retaliation.

All of it exemplified, they said, in one recent case at the southern border.

[Zachary Fryer-Biggs @ZachFB]

Thrilled that four @Militarydotcom reporters have been honored by @Milreporters for work from 2023 including @StevenBeynon @df_lawrence @KToropin and @patriciakime - a reflection of the enormous talent and hard work at play in our newsroom https://t.co/8nO3xNanZt

For years, two high profile Virginia Guardsmen have been running a militia which has made overtly violent threats against the government

In our latest podcast, we hear from families who lost loved ones to the Osprey & experts. We explore the meaning behind "pilot error" — a common conclusion leveled by investigations in the wake of tragedy. It’s more complex than the term connotes.
