  • Summary

  • Today’s Headlines: Pete Hegseth’s confirmation hearing for defense secretary began, with his focus on restoring a "warrior culture" to the Pentagon; key opposition Senator Joni Ernst now supports his confirmation. Meanwhile, the House passed a defense bill banning gender-affirming care for service members’ children and ending DEI programs. Former Special Counsel Jack Smith’s report on Trump’s 2020 election interference concluded a trial sooner might have led to conviction. The SEC sued Elon Musk for alleged securities violations in his 2022 Twitter acquisition, though its future under the new administration is uncertain. In Los Angeles, wildfires prompted red flag warnings, potential evacuations for 84,000 more residents, and unsafe water advisories due to fire-related contamination.
