This week has been anything but quiet. From oil markets potentially being rigged by insiders to vile tweets sent by our sitting president. Take a closer look at what happened.

From Trump's record-breaking longest State of the Union address to the takedown of Mexico's most wanted cartel boss, this week delivered headlines that are hard to ignore. Stay informed and take a closer look at what happened this week.

War, elections, and accountability collided this week. From U.S. troops killed in an Iranian strike to the first midterm primaries of 2026 and Epstein depositions finally on the record. Take a closer look at what happened this week.

Our military serves the country, not political parties. So why are leaders deploying the National Guard for partisan purposes instead of real emergencies? This isn't about safety, it's intimidation. Reveille and Rally keeps politics out of our Armed Forces. reveilleandrally.com

Workers making under $184,500 pay a 12.4% Social Security tax rate. Millionaires pay 2.2%. Billionaires like Trump and Musk? 0.0002%. And in six years, retired workers face a 24% cut to their benefits. @murray.senate.gov called it out: this is not a fair system. She's right.

Politics has no place in our Armed Forces. Deploying the National Guard for partisan purposes undermines everything they stand for while putting real communities at risk. That's what Reveille & Rally is fighting against. Learn more at reveilleandrally.com

The news didn’t slow down this week, and we broke it down for you. The DOJ is deleting Jan. 6 records, Iran is threatening retaliation after fresh U.S. strikes, Ken Paxton ousted Cornyn in Texas, federal workers may soon be forced to sign NDAs, and more. Take a closer look at what happened.

When asked if a billion dollars should fund school lunches, 15,000 teachers, or a ballroom, Linda McMahon called it a 'weird comparison.' There's nothing weird about the question. The priorities are.

Insiders are cashing in on this presidency in ways we've never seen before. Better contracts. Tariff carveouts. Suspicious trades placed minutes before market-moving tweets. White collar prosecutions at an all-time low. The swamp wasn't drained. It was expanded.

JD Vance entertaining the idea of sending an elected governor to Guantanamo Bay isn't bold or funny, it's violent rhetoric from the second highest office using his voice to intimidate. Political opposition doesn't make you an enemy. This is not leadership.

I'm not sure how many are aware that this is happening. But we should be extremely concerned about this. We should not be integrated with the Israeli military. As a matter of fact, we should've cut Israel off decades ago. But right now, it's imperative to Americas survival.✂️✂️ #SheShed
