Screenshot of a VoteVets (@votevets) tweet stating that six American soldiers died after Hegseth sent them to a base the Pentagon's own analysis deemed indefensible. The embedded MSNBC video shows a split screen of a congressman and Hegseth at a Capitol Hill hearing, with a caption overlay reading "Indefensible," and a chyron reading "Now: Hegseth, Joint Chiefs Chairman Testify on Capitol Hill."

Screenshot of a tweet by Briana Reilly (@briana_reilly) reporting that the Pentagon is asking Congress to formally rename the Department of Defense to the Department of War, a change estimated to cost $52 million and require 7,600 changes to existing law. She quote-tweets Inside Defense (@insidedefense) with a headline confirming the story.
