9 d. ago Musk arrives at Pentagon amid reports he will be briefed on China war plans – US politics live

Trump and Hegseth deny NYT report that ally due to be briefed on US military’s plan for any war that might break out with ChinaIn Tempe on Thursday, Ocasio-Cortez praised Arizona voters for electing two Democratic senators. She then swiped at the state’s former one-term senator, Kyrsten Sinema, who left the Democratic party to become an independent while in office and declined to seek re-election. “One thing I love about Arizonans is that you all have shown that if a US Senator isn’t fighting hard enough for you, you’re not afraid to replace her with one who will,” Ocasio-Cortez said. Sinema recently resurfaced old comments by Ocasio-Cortez attacking the then-senator over her refusal to abolish the filibuster, a Senate rule requiring 60 votes to pass most legislation. Last week, House Democrats implored their Senate counterparts to use the filibuster to block a Republican-drafted funding bill. “Change of heart on the filibuster I see!” Sinema posted. “Still no.

Trump and Hegseth deny NYT report that ally due to be briefed on US military’s plan for any war that might break out with ChinaDonald Trump and his defense secretary Pete Hegseth have both denied reports that Elon Musk will be allowed to see the US military’s secret plan for a potential war with China when he visits the Pentagon today.The president posted about the matter not once, but twice on Truth Social. Last night, he wrote:How ridiculous?” China will not even be mentioned or discussed. How disgraceful it is that the discredited media can make up such lies. Anyway, the story is completely untrue!!!We look forward to welcoming @elonmusk to the Pentagon tomorrow. But the fake news delivers again — this is NOT a meeting about “top secret China war plans.” It’s an informal meeting about innovation, efficiencies & smarter production. Gonna be great!

1 week ago Trump administration plans for militarized border in New Mexico – report

Administration reportedly working to fulfill a conservative dream: create buffer zone to be occupied by US troopsThe Trump administration is working on a plan to create what conservatives have long demanded: a militarized buffer zone along the southern border in New Mexico that would be occupied by active-duty US troops, empowered to detain migrants who cross into the United States unlawfully, the Washington Post reports.According to the Post, recent internal discussions have centered on deploying troops to a section of the border in New Mexico that would be turned into a kind of military installation, which would give the soldiers a legal right to detain migrants who “trespass” on the elongated base. Unauthorized migrants would then be held until they can be turned over to immigration officers. Continue reading...
