Very emotional moment from the interview with Zelenskyy. You should watch this. JOURNALIST: Do you miss being an actor? ZELENSKYY:?I miss being a good father. JOURNALIST: When your children were little, what did you tell them the most? What was the thing that you told them the most when they were small? ZELENSKYY: I love you. JOURNALIST: And what do you tell them now that they're older? ZELENSKYY: Oh, I miss you. JOURNALIST: When was the last time you cried? ZELENSKYY: I will try to do it after our interview. No, I mean this, between us. I'm a normal man and then there are a lot of different moments, between us, almost each day, a lot of losses on the battlefield and civilians, and there are absolutely crazy attacks on our people. And I'm just, it's… I mean, It's very difficult really, when I give orders (medals). I said about it. It's always difficult for me when I give orders (medals) to the mothers and fathers, who lost their children. In such moments, really, I often cry. JOURNALIST: Are you a hero? ZELENSKYY: No. JOURNALIST: So who is your hero? ZELENSKYY:?My hero? My children, my army, our army, and Ukrainian people. So I'm a part… I'm also a Ukrainian, so I'm a part of our nation. But now our nation, I think, that our nation is absolutely heroic.

Campos: While I want to thank CBS news for funding this generous gift towards my education, I want to acknowledge how the recent direction of the outlet stains the legacy of Mike Wallace, the namesake of this scholarship. If at any time you hesitate to utter the word genocide or remain silent in the face of blatant lies, remember to ask yourself: who is this for?

NYT confirms — with new details: Last year, Navy SEALs used two boats to escort Kash Patel and nine others on what a Pentagon email called a 'VIP Snorkel' next to one of the military's most sacred sites, the underwater tomb of the U.S.S. Arizona. One Navy vet called the swim "horrifying." nytimes.com/2026/05/15/us/po…

🚨 Two US cybersecurity professionals have been sentenced for moonlighting as ALPHV BlackCat ransomware affiliates. Ryan Goldberg, 40, of Georgia, and Kevin Martin, 36, of Texas, deployed BlackCat ransomware against multiple US victims between April and December 2023. They paid the operators a 20% cut for access to the platform, hit medical and engineering firms, leaked patient data to pressure payment, and split a $1.2 million Bitcoin ransom three ways with co-conspirator Angelo Martino. Martino had a second job. He worked as a ransomware negotiator for victims, and used that role to leak confidential victim information to the attackers to push ransom prices up. When Goldberg tried to flee abroad, the FBI tracked him through 10 countries before he was caught. Both men were sentenced yesterday. Martino is sentenced July 9.

I am pleased to announce the release of American journalist Shelly Kittleson, who was recently kidnapped by members of the foreign terrorist organization Kata’ib Hizballah near Baghdad, Iraq.   The U.S. Department of State extends its appreciation to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Department of War, U.S. personnel across multiple agencies, and the Iraqi Supreme Judicial Council and our Iraqi partners, for their assistance in securing her release.   This resolution reflects the Trump Administration's steadfast commitment  to the safety and security of American citizens, no matter where they are in the world.   Under President Trump, the wrongful detention or kidnapping of U.S. nationals will not be tolerated. We will continue to use every tool to bring Americans home and to hold accountable those responsible.   We are relieved that this American is now free and are working to support her safe departure from Iraq.

Amid a torrent of sometimes-shocking ICE cases, this one stands out. ICE labeled a man "the worst of the worst," accused him of assaulting officers and posted his picture on their website — two days before DOJ charged him. The man said ICE were actually the aggressors, lured him from his workplace, arrested him aggressively and detained him illegally. The charges were dropped, but he was detained for six weeks, only winning release when a judge threatened to hold the administration in contempt. Judge Nelson called the situation Orwellian and shocking. storage.courtlistener.com/re…

We should all want security to get so effective that we aren’t needed, and if you can’t root for that result I’m not sure which side you’re on.
