Hegseth says in his State of Force that the media did not report that sexual assault reports were down in the military. @starsandstripes did. It's even in the headline.

@SECWAR Walking onto this campus, I DO NOT SEE an academic institution trying to apologize for AMERICAN STRENGTH.
I see backbone and resolve and the uncompromising future of the United States and the United States Armed Forces.
I SEE A REAL, GROUNDED, STRONG INSTITUTION, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT OUR NATION NEEDS.

What are the top things you are hearing from the troops?
Hearing from the troops on the frontlines in @CENTCOM — air, land, and sea (including the USS Abraham Lincoln).
Incredible Americans on a historic mission.

The Pentagon listed the prayer and worship service on today’s schedule. But not this meeting.
Earlier today I had the pleasure to meet with Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.
Members of my team, including @USWPColby and @SeanParnellASW, joined me to reaffirm the strength of our defense partnership and commitment to advancing our shared security interests.

From the Pentagon today, "The secretary has no public or media events on his schedule."
“Charlie Kirk was the Turning Point for the USA.”

Two plaintiffs filed a federal lawsuit Wednesday challenging recent Pentagon actions targeting Stars and Stripes, arguing they “erode its longstanding editorial independence and First Amendment protections.”

This Pentagon promised to be the "most transparent Department of Defense in history." The latest scenario bans journalists from Pentagon press office.

Stars and Stripes was not approved by the Pentagon to attend this press conference. I will be be watching it on a screen instead.
Seems a bit odd since the Pentagon published a memo with changes to the newspaper, including content overhaul.

Now my question is who were the nine other organizations that did not get in? Will photographers be allowed back in the briefing?
Nancy is trying to make herself the story and intentionally misleading the public.
There are only 60 seats available for journalists to occupy in the Pentagon Briefing Room and Nancy was 1 of 10 other reporters we could not accommodate today due to space constraints.
Because the Atlantic has attended every briefing to date since Operation Epic Fury began, we gave the chance for other outlets to also have the opportunity to attend, like the Daily Mail, The Verge, and the Hill who were seated for the first time today.
Nancy was given notice we could not accommodate her on Thursday, and the Atlantic remains welcome at future press briefings.

Now the White House is using football clips for messaging in the early days of this new war.
