Joe Kent, then-director of the National Counterterrorism Center, testifies in December during the House Homeland Security Committee hearing on "Worldwide Threats to the Homeland." Trump, after winning back the White House in that election, appointed Kent to a top position in the national security world. “I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. “The absurd allegation that President Trump made this decision based on the influence of others, even foreign countries, is both insulting and laughable,” she wrote. “Joe Kent is a crazed egomaniac who was often at the center of national security leaks, while rarely (never?)

LOADING ERROR LOADINGVice President JD Vance on Monday accused a journalist of “trying to drive a wedge” between him and President Donald Trump regarding the Iran war when reminded of his earlier stance on U.S. military operations overseas. The heated exchange between Vance and RealClearPolitics reporter Philip Wegmann went down at an Oval Office press event, during which Wegmann pointed to reports of the vice president’s skepticism on Operation Epic Fury while asking if he was “completely on board with the current war” in Iran. Advertisement“Look, I think that I know what you’re trying to do, Phil, you’re trying to drive a wedge between members of the administration, between me and the president,” Vance said. But if you’re talking about an attack on the Iranian mainland, I think that would be a significant escalation. “It is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby,” he wrote in his resignation letter.

(AP Photo/Alex Brandon)Earlier this month, Chicago journalist Stephen Held revealed that the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) suspended his and his wife’s TSA PreCheck after he was arrested by Customs & Border Patrol (CBP) last September. In a Bluesky post from March 4, Held included a letter he received from TSA after his arrest informing him that his TSA PreCheck and Global Entry eligibility had been revoked. Held suspects that the government is weaponizing even “something as trivial as TSA PreCheck” to dissuade protesting or covering the Trump administration’s actions. When Held’s wife checked her status online, it still says she is eligible for TSA PreCheck. A coalition of 46 press freedom groups sent a letter demanding Rodriguez’s release accusing the Trump administration of political retaliation.

“It took about 30 years for computer vision technology to mature,” says Jack Liu , head of corporate development at Ainos , a Texas artificial-intelligence company focused on AI scent technology. In testing, scientists have shown that e-nose technology reliably detects lung cancers , urinary-tract infections , and gastrointestinal disease . The National Aeronautics and Space Administration, meanwhile, has developed e-nose technology to track astronaut health on long-distance or long-duration missions.

President Donald Trump’s appointees to the federal planning commission that controls the fate of his White House ballroom project are not legally qualified to serve, critics say — raising the possibility of a court challenge. The federal law governing the National Capital Planning Commission requires that commissioners have “experience in city or regional planning.” Appointees have traditionally been professionals in planning, architecture or historic preservation. In the case of the planning commission, the appointments could expose its decisions, including any vote on the ballroom project, to legal challenges. Blair rose to power by leading Trump’s 2024 election campaign, which earned him a job as White House deputy chief of staff. They spoke about the need for a White House ballroom but not the details of the proposal before them.
