Sources tell CNN that Pres. Trump talked Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu out of a significant strike on Iran. "It's hard to know what message Trump is sending, and certainly it's harder to know how Netanyahu is responding to it," says Democratic Rep. Adam Smith.

Civilian employees break their backs to get America's servicemembers the resources they need to keep us safe. I'm fighting like hell to reverse President Trump's efforts to strip those workers of their collective bargaining rights, and I'm grateful that the Armed Services

The constitution guarantees the freedom of the press. But THIS Defense Department has attacked the free press over and over again. Journalists are necessary to hold those in power accountable and make sure our government works for the people it serves. This is especially true

A nonpolitical military is one of the core pillars of American democracy. And yet, the Trump administration has repeatedly pushed their political agenda onto the Armed Forces — going as far as to sell campaign merchandise at a nonpartisan event at Fort Bragg. This amendment is
