Iran’s currency fell to a new record low on Tuesday, with traders in Tehran exchanging more than 2.5 million rials to the U.S. dollar in a stark reflection of how the war in the Middle East has steadily eroded the Iranian economy. The latest decline came just 27 days after the rial hit its previous record low of 2.2 million to the dollar on Sept. 2. The currency has repeatedly reached new lows since the war began in February. The Iranian economy has been under duress for years in the face of international sanctions. But a U.S. naval blockade on…

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is adjusting its guidance on prescribing psychotropic medications. The VA announced Monday that it would put in place guidance on informed consent which it said would increase transparency for veterans before they receive psychotropic medications, which include antipsychotics, stimulants, antidepressants, anxioloyctics and opioids. Psychotropic medications are prescription drugs that affect chemical levels in the brain to change a person’s mood, thoughts, behavior, or perception. Medics use them to treat mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. “America’s veterans should get as much information as possible as they are deciding what treatment is…

The young airmen had successfully armed and moved a training weapon toward an F-16 when their team leader realized something was wrong. It hadn’t been loaded correctly. With military training instructors watching, the Texas heat bearing down and the clock running, the trainees faced a decision: Keep going, try to fix the problem beside the aircraft, or go back and start again. Then their leader did something that caught Col. Kellie Courtland’s attention. “I’m not the right leader for this right now,” Courtland recalled the trainee saying. He asked another member of the team to lead while he read the…
President Donald Trump stood near Marine One on Monday to mark the opening of a new White House helipad. Much of what he said was difficult to hear on the available White House video feed. Hours later, the White House launched “TRUMP TV: The Essentials Station,” a new 24/7 stream of administration-produced videos. The launch came after the five-network television pool suspended its coverage when CNN, which was scheduled for pool duty Monday, was prevented from entering the White House grounds. ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox and NBC said no replacement network would take CNN’s place, showing solidarity in a polarized…
Fox News has shifted 17 races towards Democrats in its latest Power Rankings, including some ruby red congressional districts that have been in Republican hands for years. Republican John McGuire, for example, won Virginia’s Fifth Congressional District in 2024 by 15 points and should be a heavy favorite to win reelection in November, but Fox News has downgraded the district from “likely R” to “leans R” in its latest rankings. Some of the biggest changes in Fox’s Power Rankings are in the Lone Star State, which the network contends is “slipping away” from Republicans. That erosion…
People sometimes forget that the smallest and most convenient storage space is in their own heads. If you find yourself in the midst of a disaster and you need to either build or fix something, having the necessary knowledge and experience in your mind instead of in a book will hugely benefit your ability to survive. And if there’s something you need from your neighbors but you’re not willing to trade any of your supplies, you could do some work for them in exchange. But what sort of skills will be the most useful after TEOTWAWKI? Knowing Microsoft Office won’t…
The Department of Veterans Affairs’ Beneficiary Travel program reimburses eligible veterans and caregivers for the cost of getting to and from approved VA health care appointments. It’s a genuinely simple benefit once you understand the pieces, but the eligibility rules, the deductible structure and the filing deadline all trip people up, and many veterans who qualify simply never file a claim. Who Qualifies You qualify for Beneficiary Travel reimbursement if you meet at least one of several conditions: A service-connected disability rating of 30% or higher Travel to treat a service-connected condition regardless of your overall rating Receipt of a…
The Army made a significant change to how it handles failed Tuition Assistance and Credentialing Assistance courses. Soldiers who incur two recoupment actions within the same fiscal year — meaning they owe money back because a TA- or CA-funded course wasn’t completed or passed — are now automatically suspended from requesting either program for a full 12 months. Where the Policy Came From The Army announced a broader policy overhaul in December 2024, following a review that found the Credentialing Assistance program’s cost had nearly doubled every year since its 2020 launch, according to the Army’s announcement. Christine Traugott, policy…
