‘TAKE ONE A WEEK, GET IT DONE’: As an infantry officer during the 1991 Persian Gulf War, Capt. Mark Esper knew that sometimes it’s smarter to go around an enemy than through them. The former Army and defense secretary now says it’s time for both sides to stop jockeying for advantage in the impasse over Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s unyielding holds and start working to bypass him.
ADDRESSING ‘COACH’ IN HIS NATIVE TONGUE: Tuberville identifies first as a football coach and second as a U.S. senator. His staff calls him “Coach,” and his official Senate website is headlined “COACH TOMMY TUBERVILLE” in large block letters, with smaller type underneath that reads, “U.S. senator for Alabama.”
Asked if that was a concern, Ryder replied, “That's a question that only the Senate and Senator Tuberville can address.” “I served in uniform for 26 years in the United States Navy under six different presidents, three Republicans, three Democrats, we have never seen another situation like this,” said Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro. “For someone who was born in a communist country, I would have never imagined that actually one of our own senators would actually be aiding and abetting communists and other autocratic regimes around the world.

“All requests from the warriors will be addressed by senior generals, government officials, and our international relations officials,” Zelensky said in his nightly video address. “There will be new supplies.”ESPER ON RAMASWAMY’S ‘OUTLANDISH’ FOREIGN POLICY VIEWS: In his appearance on CNN, former Defense Secretary Mark Esper called Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy’s recent foreign policy pronouncements “outlandish,” “ridiculous,” and “isolationist.
McConnell has no evidence of a stroke or seizure disorder, according to a letter issued by the Capitol physician, but he spoke slowly and at times, seemed to have a very slight slur to his speech. “I'm not confident of anything given this House Republican majority. They seem to be making it up as they go along from day to day, adding demands as hours tick by,” said Sen. Chris Murphy . “I hope that the House Republicans don't abandon Ukraine. They are in need of additional assistance. Just in the last four days, they've started to make substantial progress.”
