An Air Force officer who was arrested after calling for President Donald Trump’s impeachment has been recommended to stand trial by general court-martial—the military’s most serious level of trial—on most of the charges against him, according to his attorney. Maj. Jason Watson was arrested in uniform on the steps of the U.S. Capitol in July as he called for Trump to be impeached, arguing that the president had violated the Constitution and that Trump and Vice President JD Vance should be removed from office. Watson has said he acted not out of partisanship but to uphold his oath to defend…
The DOJ’s Civil Rights Division has already successfully gone after the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department over its unreasonable delays in processing concealed carry applications and recently targeted San Jose, California over its excessive fees for concealed carry permits, but now the division is seeking to strike down another local law on the books in San Jose. The Justice Department filed its first complaint against the city’s $1591 application fee a couple of weeks ago, but on Tuesday the agency filed an amended complaint this week that challenges San Jose’s requirement that concealed carry applicants undergo…
The U.S. Marine Corps is following the Department of Defense (DOD) and Air Force, issuing new deadlines for service members to revise their religious affiliation as part of a major shift in the U.S. Armed Forces that began months ago. On Tuesday, the Marine Corps published its own official Marine Corps Administrative Message (MARADMINS) implementing the policy change that will affect personnel. This MARADMIN “announces implementation of the revised Department of War Religious Affiliation Codes (RAC) and directs Marines to review and update their religious affiliation information.” Military.com was the first to report how DOD dramatically reduced its official number…
Post from MilitaryByOwner Each time we make a move with the military, we have one huge decision to make: Do we live off base, or do we live on base? In my experience, there are 7 things to consider before living in military housing—both pros and cons. 1) You may give up some privacy. We can be a nosy community. Combine that with living a few feet from each other, and you soon have a community that knows everything about you, right down to your daily routine. But don’t be fooled; you’ll soon know just as much about your neighbors,…
An Illinois woman’s quest to enact new gun regulations through court action appears to have hit another brick wall, this time courtesy of the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. Shanice Mathews has been waging her court battle against the state of Illinois and the Illinois State Police for eight years now, with the help of Brady’s legal team at times. The hearing before the appellate court on Tuesday involved her fourth amended complaint seeking injunctive relief, and each and every time the courts have turned her away. Mathews is seeking a court-imposed order to FFL’s in…
U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) has removed U.S. forces and equipment from Erbil Air Base in Iraq, in a move that concludes the Operation Inherent Resolve mission in the country. The U.S. launched Operation Inherent Resolve in 2014 to defeat the terrorist group ISIS in Iraq and Syria. Some 2,000 Americans went to the country to participate in the mission, officials said at the time. The U.S. and its allies dismantled a brutal ISIS “caliphate” by training and advising over 250,000 local security forces, shifting the region from active conflict to stabilization while permanently anchoring Iraqi independence and regional security. In…

Mexico’s ill-fated lawsuit against the gun industry was a case of knowing what was inevitable. There was no world where the Supreme Court, especially this one, would allow a lawsuit to proceed against the industry despite the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act. I didn’t expect the 9-0 decision, but it was clear-cut. Well, the “brains” behind that — I use that term very, very loosely here — are at it again.This time, it seems they’re trying to goad Canada into filing a lawsuit as well, one just as doomed as Mexico’s was.A new report from…
The waist-to-height ratio standard that every U.S. military branch adopted in 2026 governs body composition checks for people already serving, not the medical screening applicants go through to enlist at a Military Entrance Processing Station. Those are two separate standards, run under two separate Defense Department instructions, and it’s an easy distinction to miss given how much coverage the new ratio received this year. What Changed The Pentagon replaced its decades-old height-and-weight tables and tape test with a waist-to-height ratio, or WHtR, for currently serving troops, according to a Defense Department memo dated Dec. 18, 2025. The memo, titled “Additional…

Just a day after filing suit over San Jose, California’s outrageous $1,600 concealed carry permitting fee, the Justice Department is putting Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and the mayors of Minneapolis and St. Paul on notice that the state’s regulations on the sale of handguns and certain rifles are the agency’s next target unless changes are made. A right delayed is a right denied. Minnesota cannot deny Americans the right to purchase commonly owned firearms with weeks-long waiting periods. The @CivilRights Division’s Second Amendment Section will challenge these violations of fundamental rights! pic.twitter.com/gF69uMB83x— AAGHarmeetDhillon (@AAGDhillon) September…
The Air Force spent 45 years without warrant officers, the last one retiring in 1980 and the ranks disappearing from an Air Force that decided senior NCOs and commissioned officers could cover the same ground. That changed in February 2024, when then-Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall announced that the ranks were coming back. The service has about 245 warrant officers as of September 2026, in ranks ranging from Chief Warrant Officer 1 to Chief Warrant Officer 5 at multiple commands, an Air Force spokesperson told Military.com. Why the Air Force Brought the Rank Back Kendall framed the decision…

Seattle’s mayor has announced yet another plan to reduce gun violence, and once again taxpayers are being told that more programs, more government coordination, more spending and more restrictions on lawful gun ownership are the answer. The problem is that Seattle has been traveling down this road for decades. Self-proclaimed Democratic Socialist Mayor Katie Wilson’s newly announced strategy comes after the deadly July shooting at the Bite of Seattle event. As Cam pointed out earlier this week, the plan would combine law enforcement, emergency response, community intervention programs, youth services and public-health initiatives while transferring…
FORT MEADE, Md. (AP) — A man initially accused of being a high-profile al-Qaida figure and who was tortured in CIA custody appeared Thursday at a hearing to review his detention at the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where he has been held for 20 years without charges. A U.S. government official said Abu Zubaydah, who wore a neatly trimmed beard and glasses, had “probably” served as one of Osama bin Laden’s most trusted facilitators. The roughly 20-minute hearing offered rare visibility into the secretive military court proceedings of a suspect who had been tortured at CIA black…
