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.

While the US is stuck in limbo with a ceasefire with Iran, President Trump is working to reshape elections and test the limits of his power. Here are some of the major headlines for the week in case you missed it.

"For self governance to survive, the only thing we need is to agree is on the rules of the road." @adamkinzinger.substack.com We can disagree on policy, but the moment we stop agreeing on the rules, we stop being a democracy. Protect democracy at www.country1st.com @principlesfirst.bsky.social

Veterans are speaking out, and they’re right. The military is not a political prop. It belongs to the people, not any politician. Country First created Reveille & Rally to protect that. Support the fight: reveilleandrally.com

Our troops deserve a mission, not a moving target. 6 Americans have already paid the ultimate price. Ask this admin what the goal is and you get a different answer every day. Even Pete Hegseth can't give a straight answer. This isn't leadership. It's improvisation with American lives.

Our actions abroad reveal who we are as a nation and our commitment to American values. Greenland is an Autonomous Territory, and democratic nations should respect its autonomy. When leaders speak with integrity and moral clarity, they reinforce our identity as a nation.

President Trump said on camera he doesn't think about Americans' financial situation. That's not leadership. That's abandonment. The job of a president is to fight for working families, not dismiss their struggles. When Washington stops thinking about you, demand they start.

Former Congressman @adamkinzinger.substack.com cuts through the myths and misinformation to reveal what the Second Amendment actually says and means for all Americans. For Democracies to survive, we must operate on facts, and Country First works to shine light on the truth and bring you the facts.

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.

Federal judges have ruled recent Guard deployments unconstitutional. When deployment depends on political grandstanding, not community safety, we've crossed a line, and public trust erodes. Demand accountability from those in power. reveilleandrally.com
