US BREAKING: Trump FORCES $25B Golden Dome Trial Before 2028Vote|Political Pressure to FAIL Project?
The Pentagon has confirmed the long-anticipated test date for Trump's billion-dollar "Golden Dome" missile defense system—just weeks before the 2028 election.
Announced in May, Trump’s campaign-era promise aims to create a space-based shield against missile threats.
The timing raises eyebrows, with defense experts questioning if this is military strategy or political theater.
Led by Gen.
Michael Guetlein and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, the program faces tight deadlines, scaling challenges, and skyrocketing costs.
With $25B already allocated, the pressure to deliver—both technically and politically—is mounting.
The Pentagon is facing yet another high-profile departure as Justin Fulcher, a senior advisor to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, is set to step down after only six months on the job. Fulcher is now the sixth senior official to leave the department since Hegseth's controversial appointment, raising serious questions about the stability and leadership within one of the world's most powerful military institutions. The news, first reported by CBS News as a firing, was quickly disputed by the Pentagon, with spokesman Sean Parnell calling the claim "false" and unfair to Fulcher.
This wave of resignations comes amid a turbulent tenure for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. He has been at the center of multiple scandals, most notably a major security breach involving a Signal chat group discussing sensitive military operations, such as strikes in Yemen. In an unprecedented move, Hegseth reportedly added an editor from The Atlantic to this top-secret chat, a scandal that sent shockwaves through the defense community.
Justin Fulcher himself was no stranger to conflict within the Pentagon's walls. He reportedly stormed out of a heated meeting with the Pentagon's DOGE team in April and later claimed the Pentagon Force Protection Agency was actively searching for him. This incident allegedly infuriated Hegseth, who then personally confronted DOGE team lead Yinon Weiss for targeting his advisor. Despite the drama, Fulcher's departure statement was diplomatic, calling his time working with the Pentagon's personnel "incredibly inspiring." This video breaks down the full story behind the chaos at the Pentagon.

Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth confirmed that the Defense Department’s cloud services were previously supported by China-based engineers, raising national security concerns. Microsoft admitted to using teams in China for technical assistance but assured that no China-based staff will be involved moving forward. ProPublica revealed that limited U.S. oversight left critical Pentagon systems vulnerable, with personnel lacking the expertise to manage them effectively. Amid growing tensions with Beijing, Microsoft has pledged stricter controls to secure DoD cloud services against potential foreign risks.

In a major shift, U.S. President Donald Trump has approved a fresh $300 million military aid package to Ukraine, reportedly including rare Patriot surface-to-air missiles and medium-range rockets. The decision follows a brief and controversial Pentagon pause ordered by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, a known skeptic of increased aid to Kiev.
Trump’s move marks the first use of his Presidential Drawdown Authority, allowing emergency arms transfers directly from U.S. stockpiles. While the Pentagon claimed the pause was a limited stockpile review, it had caused concern among European allies and Ukrainian officials. Secretary of State Marco Rubio later clarified that most weapons shipments were never stopped. Trump, who has reopened ceasefire talks with Russia, acknowledged the high cost of Patriot systems but said Ukraine still needs them. The Kremlin has warned the continued weapons flow contradicts peace efforts and further complicates diplomacy.

In a dramatic turnaround, the Trump administration has resumed shipping weapons to Ukraine after a brief but controversial pause ordered by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The move had caught even White House officials off guard and temporarily halted deliveries of key systems including Patriot missiles, GMLRS rockets, and 155 mm Howitzer rounds. Trump claimed no knowledge of the pause, stating he hadn’t given the order. Pentagon officials say the review was part of a broader stockpile assessment.
But amid growing pressure from both allies and U.S. lawmakers, shipments resumed quietly—now including precision-guided rockets and artillery shells. Trump cited Russia’s rising brutality and President Putin’s conduct as reasons for restoring deliveries. The weapons—especially the 155 mm rounds—are critical in Ukraine’s defense. With the largest drone attack yet launched by Russia, Trump’s decision underscores the escalating urgency of the war. Over $67 billion in U.S. military aid has been sent since 2022.

Israel has launched Operation Gideon’s Chariots II, marking the decisive stage of war against Hamas. Defense Minister Israel Katz warned the “gates of hell” will open on Hamas unless hostages are freed and weapons surrendered. With 60,000 reservists, the IDF plans a four-phase offensive—encirclement, evacuation, and a final push into Gaza City. Netanyahu vowed no hostage will be left behind, while Trump backed Hamas’ “complete destruction.” Thousands flee south as Israel intensifies its most ambitious Gaza operation yet.

Donald Trump took a dig at his former National Security Advisor John Bolton calling him a 'lowlife'. When asked about the FBI raids at Bolton's house Trump deflected the question saying he didn't know much about it.
The FBI raided Bolton's house as part of a classified documents investigation. Ordered by FBI Director Kash Patel, the raid comes days after Bolton publicly criticized Trump’s foreign policy, fueling speculation of political payback. Bolton slammed Trump’s India policy, calling tariffs against New Delhi a damaging mistake. Bolton has also criticised Trump’s conduct during his meeting with President Putin in Alaska, opining that Putin clearly won the Alaska summit while Trump left without a peace deal or ceasefire.

Tensions flared at Washington D.C.’s Union Station as Trump allies J.D. Vance, Pete Hegseth, and Stephen Miller were met with loud boos and heckling from protesters.

“Liberation Day” in Washington, D.C.
President Donald Trump has declared a public safety emergency and taken direct federal control of the D.C. Metropolitan Police. Flanked by Attorney General Pam Bondi, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and FBI Director Kash Patel, Trump announced the deployment of the National Guard to restore order in the capital, which he compared to Baghdad and Mexico City.
Citing “phony crime numbers,” Trump said D.C. is spiraling into chaos — and he’s not stopping there. Cities like Chicago and Los Angeles are next on his list as he vows to expand the federal crackdown.
Is this a bold move to save American cities — or an unprecedented power grab? Watch and decide.
