The security risk of China’s new military breakthrough

US military officials are growing increasingly concerned about China's expeditions in the Arctic after the country's research submarines traversed thousands of feet beneath the ice for the first time over the summer. Such expeditions could yield valuable data about the natural resources underneath the melting ice caps, significantly reduce travel time for commercial shipping and position nuclear-armed submarines closer to potential targets - including the US, national security officials told the Wall Street Journal. Chinese vessels on research missions are also often used to give cover to the military, noted US Air Force Gen.

Dem says Trump’s immigration ban stems from dislike of ‘brown people’

The latest remarks from a Democratic Senator show how far apart America's major political parties are on the issue of immigration. In a Sunday interview with NBC's Meet The Press host Kristen Welker, Arizona Democrat Mark Kelly accused the Trump administration of implementing a 'permanent pause [on] migration from all third-world countries' because he doesn't like 'brown people.' 'When I heard [Secretary Noem] say that they're going to pause immigration from third-world countries, I mean, I take that as a message that they don't want brown people coming to the United States,' Kelly told Welker.

Democrats propose alternatives for Trump’s ballroom

Democrats are licking their lips at the idea of tearing down or repurposing President Donald Trump 's gilded ballroom. NBC News interviewed several potential 2028 Democratic hopefuls, as well as other party members, who all view the ballroom as a potent political issue. Last month, Trump tore down the White House's East Wing, which historically housed the offices of the First Lady, with little oversight or warning, making way for construction to begin on the ballroom so the $300 million project could be completed before the end of his term.

Vladimir Putin picked up the phone, called Donald Trump , and swiftly killed America's plan to send game-changing missiles to Ukraine. That bombshell account, Putin's premiere foreign policy aide told the Wall Street Journal, is the latest revelation of Trump's whiplash approach to ending the nearly four-year old war. Tomahawk missiles would have given Ukraine something it still largely lacks: the ability to strike deep into Russia’s military infrastructure, beyond the front lines.
