We need 350 ships. That is exactly why the president is pushing for this $1.5 trillion budget so we can build the ships we need.

Ships were extended until 11 months on deployment because we do not have enough ships to backfill them.

The scene is devastating. Something unlike anything seen before.

The U.S. response has been massive, unprecedented, and swift. The focus is 100% on saving lives.

I've seen, before the earthquakes, a commitment from the interim government to work and collaborate with us.

After the earthquake, it hasn't changed.

Mullin said the department is prioritizing individuals with final deportation orders, felony records, those released from state prisons, and migrants whose asylum claims were denied or who failed to appear in court.

He added that officers frequently encounter and detain additional undocumented immigrants during these operations, saying the department remains focused on removing the "worst of the worst" from the country.

Last night, the Pakistani military once again carried out airstrikes on civilian areas in Gayan District of Paktika Province, Tsamkani District of Paktia Province, and Manogai District of Kunar Province, Afghanistan.

The attacks resulted in the deaths and injuries of dozens of civilians, including women and children.

We strongly condemn this cowardly act of aggression and consider it a crime and an act of brutality.

He said "the situation has become impossible to remain silent about," adding that there are "strong guardians over public funds" and pledging to improve how they are managed.

Al-Zaidi also directed oversight bodies to collect reports on the performance of government institutions and ministries to uncover cases of corruption or negligence.

He added that Iraq has endured years of "war, chaos, and combating terrorism," but said the government is now following a different path by strengthening the Iraqi state, ensuring its "monopoly on force and weapons," and preventing corrupt individuals from entering state institutions to steal public funds.

European leaders say they welcome the innovative use of drones [by the Ukrainian Armed Forces].

My immediate question was: does that also include the strike on the student dormitory in Starobilsk?

Do Western leaders welcome that as well? I haven't heard a single word about it.

If Ukraine is really capturing and liberating more and more territory—if it is truly winning—then Western leaders should simply wait.

If all of that is true, Russia's strategic defeat would supposedly happen on its own

None of the Ukrainian terrorist attacks have any impact whatsoever on the situation at the front. That's the key point.

No matter where they strike our infrastructure, those attacks have absolutely no effect on the battlefield, along the line of contact.

There are new proposals. For example, to stop strikes deep inside each other's territory.

It's obvious why that proposal is being made: our retaliatory strikes deep inside Ukraine territory are far more powerful, more painful, and, frankly, more destructive, causing serious consequences for the Kyiv regime.

In general, I want to say that these attacks on our civilian infrastructure are not carried out solely to inflict damage on us, although I believe that is also important to the enemy.

They are also intended to fuel an information campaign—or, more accurately, an information operation as part of the broader confrontation with Russia.

Their objective is to create uncertainty among us, undermine confidence in our own strength, and, ideally, divide Russian society.

They also seek to force Russia to suspend the advance of our troops, at least for a short time, in order to create conditions for starting negotiations on terms favorable to our opponent.

We will not give them that chance.
